"No! I might have told him a few things I shouldn't have, and we nearly kissed, but no sex."
She waved her hand, taking a sip of her drink. "I thought you had something juicier to tell me."
"I do."
She let go of the straw and looked straight at me. "Okay."
"This morning... well, one thing led to another, and we kissed. It was averyhot kiss."
"Did it lead to more?"
"Not exactly. He says I’m not ready. It's all very confusing."
"Not to me," Alana said.
"Oh really? Enlighten me, then."
"I don't know if I should. I don't want to influence your train of thought."
I laughed, sipping from my virgin margarita. "We're not in high school anymore, Alana."
Just then, my phone started vibrating.
"And what's that vibrating?" she asked. "You got a dildo in your pants?"
"Don't be silly. It's my phone."
"Close," Alana said when she saw Sam's name on the screen.
I shook my head at her. "You're unbelievable."
"I know, right?"
"You're even more shameless than in high school."
"I get better with age. Speaking of which, how are Sam's kissing skills?"
"Very much improved," I said. The phone call went to voice mail, but then I noticed he'd also sent me a few messages.
"What does he say?"
Alana hovering over my shoulder while we were obsessing over Sam's texts literally gave me flashbacks from our teen years.
Sam: Hey, gorgeous. How was your day?
"Hmm, you've progressed to 'gorgeous' already. I approve," Alana said.
"You know what? Finish your drink and stay away from my phone."
"But best friend privileges include snooping. Even when you're an adult."
Sam: What are you doing tonight? There's this amazing street food festival taking place if you’re still into it.
"Oh, he remembered that about you!" she exclaimed.
"Alana! No snooping."
"Okay, okay. I'm on my best behavior. Look, I'm taking a step back." She sipped her drink, looking at me expectantly.
