“Of course,” I reply. “Why wouldn’t I be?”
“Um, because the six of them are likely going to give us an epic amount of shit for what’s…what’s…”
“What’s happened between us or what is currently happening between us?” I ask.
“I don’t know, both,” she says. “Wait, what, they all know we hooked up before?” I can hear the surprise in her voice and I’m hoping it’s not of the pissed off variety.
“Um, yeah,” I say, wary. “What, you didn’t tell them?”
Tessa exhales through the phone. “No, I did.”
“Okay, so what’s the problem? You worried what they’ll think about it?”
“I don’t know,” she says, laughing a little. “I guess I’m just not used to having my sex life an open book like this.”
I burst out laughing. “Oh my god, welcome to Somerville’s, babe, where everyone knows your name and who you’re fucking.”
“Seriously?”
“Seriously,” I repeat. “Although for the record, I never shared any specific details and when it happens again, I won’t be doing it then either.”
There’s silence on the other end of the phone after my comment that goes on for a beat too long.
“Tessa?”
“Yep, no, sorry, I’m here,” she says quickly. “So tonight, you in?”
Her quick change of subject makes me wonder if something more is going on here, if maybe she’s spilled some of the finer details of what’s happened between us. At least more than what I have. But figuring it can’t be that bad, I respond with, “Hell yes, I’m in. And I’m picking you up too. What time are they expecting us?”
“Seven.”
“Well, I’ll see you at quarter to seven then. Later, babe.”
