“Since I’ve sleptover, not shared a bed with you.”
“I guess it missed you.”
She repositions herself and props her chin on my chest, staring up at me. “Want to talk about the elephant in the room?”
“Here, I considered you the shy one.”
“I am … except around you.” She pokes me in the chest. “It’s your fault, making me hang out with you all the time.”
“Hey, this isn’t a one-way street. Somehow, you know every detail of my life, you force me to watch shows about desperate housewives banging their lawn boys, and you insisted you teach me how to bake.”
She laughs. “I’m an evil woman.”
“Damn straight you are.”
Thank fuck we’re comfortable. Normally, I don’t do sleepovers in fear of suffering through the morning after. If I ever do stay over, I leave early without breakfast or conversation.
“What will we be walking into when we leave the room?” she asks.
“Huh?”
“Josh and his friends were sure having fun last night.”
“More fun than us?”
A blush rides up her forehead. “Eh, doubt that.”
I wrap a strand of her hair around my finger. “Like me, Josh is picky about our houseguests. One guy is his cousin, the other is a girl he’s steadily dating, and then her friend.”
“Josh has been steadily dating someone?”
“Shocking, huh? They’ve been off and on for a minute and areonright now. She and her friend are cool.”
A silence passes as she gawks at me. “Do you … ever hang out with her friend?”
“No.” I tuck the strand of hair I’ve been playing with behind her ear. “I haven’t slept with her.”
“How’d you know that’s what I was thinking?”
“I always know what’s going on in that pretty head of yours.”
She slaps my chest. “I hate you.”
“You love me.” I roll us over, settling her on her back and staring down at her. “Is this real life right now?” My gaze travels down her body.
She pinches me. “You feel that?”
I flinch. “Uh … yeah?”
“Then, yes, it’s real life.” She briefly looks away before she frowns, her eyes meeting mine. “Why wouldn’t you have sex with me? Was last night a one-time thing?” She smacks her forehead. “I’m so confused.”
“That makes two of us.”
“You wouldn’t have sex with me last night, though. Why? You don’t give other girls a hard time about it.”
“You’re not any other girl, Carolina.”
“What are we then? Friends with benefits?”
