Assoonastheboys left, Lexi rounded on me and screamed in a high-pitched girly shriek.
“Oh, my God. How the fuck did that happen?” she asked, nearly bouncing with excitement.
I shrugged and shook my head, truly having no idea. “It just… happened. I think trying to figure out how to survive without electricity and with nothing to do made it more important for us to at least find a way to get along.”
“And clearly you two got along,” she said, biting her lip with glee. “Who made the first move?” she asked. “You or him?”
“Him,” I said blushing. “He kissed me after I bandaged up his leg for him—”
“Bandaged up his leg? What is this, some kind of rom-com?”
“So when the window blew in, he went out into the snowstorm and found stuff to insulate the room. He tripped or something and he was bleeding when he got back in.”
“Who the fuck is this guy?” Lexi said, in amazement. “He sounds like some billionaire wilderness man who must fuck like a stallion to have captured your heart like this.”
“Who said anything about my heart?” I replied. “Can’t a girl get laid and have it just be for fun?”
Lexi folded her arms and gave me a look. “A girl can. You cannot.”
I laughed at how well she knew me and rolled my eyes. I happened to glance out the window at the exact moment Dean and Gabe walked past and Gabe looked in at me with a little wave. My heart did a somersault in my chest and Lexi made a knowing noise.
“My point exactly. You’re smitten.”
I looked at her, finally giving up the ruse and nodded. “I totally kind of am. He’s dreamy.”
Lexi clapped her hands together and cheered. “Good for you, Jen, you deserve it. And see, he didn’t ruin your Christmas after all.”
“He certainly did not.”
“So, what’s the sex like?” she asked. “Must be good for you two to be this playful.”
I nodded. “I think we might have had sex more than we ate.” Lexi laughed and I couldn't help but follow suit. “He is very well endowed, a dominant but gentle lover, and he tells me…”
I suddenly felt a little embarrassed revealing all the details of my affair with her, but she was clearly as enthralled as an old lady watching a soap opera.
“Yes?” she said, her eyes begging to know. “He tells you what?”
I bit my lip and leaned closer as if that would prevent the walls from hearing. “He calls me his good girl and has me call him… Daddy.”
“Oh, my God,” Lexi said, shrieking again. “You little harlot. I love it!”
I laughed at Lexi’s antic, but the blush on my cheeks stayed. My mind was playing all of Gabe and my intimate moments back to me, and it made me want to go to him now and kiss him.
When I came back to my surroundings, Lexi was staring at me. “You really do like him, don’t you?”
I nodded and hugged his t-shirt around me. “He got me, Lex. I’ve never had anyone care for me like that before. He’s someone I want badly enough to risk the pain of possibly losing him.”
Lexi nodded, smiling in a way that indicated she was truly happy for me.
“Come on, you,” she said, grabbing my arm. “Let’s get you in some clothes and we can start making some Christmas dinner.”
I nodded and allowed my best friend to lead me to the bedroom that still bore signs of last night’s dreamy scene. Lexi looked around and then turned to me.
“You’ll let me know which surface is safe to sit on, right?”
I indicated to the reading nook with a grin. “That might be the only place, though,” I joked.
“Filthy,” she bantered back. Lexi took a seat in the window while I changed into some clean, warm clothes.
