“YAY!” she said, and went back to her coloring.
“Thanks a lot,” I told Lisa while moving over into the kitchen, where I could have a private conversation while still eying the girl. “Now I have to make her brownies.”
“Forget all that!” Lisa said. She sounded wide awake, now. “What about Jordy? What happened?”
I gave her a quick summary of the events in the bedroom, and then the text Jordy had sent me.
“He never replied?” Lisa sighed. “That’s a bad sign.”
I groaned. “That’s what I was afraid of. But I didn’t mean to snuggle up to him!”
“How did he feel?” she asked.
“Wonderful. Big and strong and warm. It only lasted a minute, but while I was cuddled up against him, I felt… I don’t know. Safe.”
“That’s great and all, but it’s not what I meant. I was asking how did hefeel.You know. Down there. Was it big?”
“Lisa!” I hissed. “I’ve got a real crisis here and you’re focusing on all the wrong things.”
“I don’t understand why your crisis means I don’t get to hear all the juicy details,” she grumbled.
“There are no juicy details to share. Nothing happened.” I paused. “But it was big.”
“I KNEW IT!” she practically shouted.
“Not, like,obscenelyhuge,” I added. “But large. I think. It was tough to tell because he was wearing underwear.”
“What about my guy?” she asked. “Have you gotten to see Blondie in his undies?”
“Lisa…”
“I bet he wears boxers with the Union Jack on them,” she said wistfully. “Or maybe a speedo.”
“If you’re not going to help me, then I’m hanging up.”
“Okay! Fine! Geez, you wake a girl up at the ass-crack of dawn and don’t even let her enjoy some delicious mental imagery.” I heard her microwave beep on the other line. She was probably reheating coffee. “My advice is to play it cool.”
“Did you forget who you’re talking to? I have no idea how to play it cool, Lisa.”
“Pretend like it’s no big deal,” she said. “Act normal. Smile at him.”
“If I smile at him, he’ll think Imeantto do it!”
Lisa sputtered a laugh. “I said smile at him, not eye-fuck him. You really are bad at this.”
“Yes! That’s what I’ve been trying to tell you!”
“It’s only awkward if you make it awkward,” she said. “Honestly, he probably didn’t reply to your text because he’s busy killing people or whatever.”
“He’s not killing people. They’re just security for—” I cut off. “I’m not allowed to say anything. You’re going to get me in trouble.”
“You’re no fun. But I expect to hear all about it when you get back. Youareeventually coming back to Wilmington, right?”
“Of course I am!” I replied. “I already miss home. Traveling abroad is fun, but it’s just not the same.”
“Do they at least have pizza wherever you are? Actually, don’t say anything. As much as I want to hear about it, I don’t want to get you in trouble. But be safe, okay?”
After hanging up with Lisa, I went back to playing with Kaylee. Play it cool. I didn’t know if I could do that. I was an awkward mess around guys in the best of circumstances, and this was as far from a normal circumstance as possible. I had no idea what was going to happen when the guys got home.
