“That’s impossible,” I said, and it was. It wasn’t like I’d seen millions of them, but I knew they weren’t all one size.
He remained silent, but his eyes got kinda scary.
Yikes.
“All righty then,” I persevered. “Let’s go on to the next category. Strength, durability, that kind of thing.”
Eddie walked away.
My cell rang. I grabbed it and saw it was Lee.
“Where are you? The guys said you freaked out about a baby shower and took off with Eddie behind you,” Lee said by way of greeting.
“Your mother is planning a baby shower.”
“Where are you?”
“You have to call her,” I told him.
“Where are you?”
“Lee!”
“I’ll call her. Where the fuck are you?”
“I’m at Walgreens with Eddie. I’m actually glad you called because Eddie is refusing to help. What kind of condoms do you use? And please, nothing colored or flavored or any of that crap. I want the ones that are known for long-lasting reliability.”
Silence.
“Lee?”
I could swear that the mouthpiece was being covered on his phone.
“Lee!” I shouted.
“Let me get this straight,” he said, and I could tell he was laughing. “You dragged Eddie to Walgreens to help pick out condoms for me?”
“Well, I didn’t know! I’m not the kind of girl who keeps condoms around. That’s the guy’s job, and you said we were gonna have to use different precautions.”
“Did you tell Eddie the part about long-lasting reliability?”
Oh Lord.
“Forget it,” I mumbled.
“Indy?” he called.
“What?” I snapped, kinda pissy.
“I love you.” He still had laughter in his voice, and there was something very cool about him laughing and saying I love you at the same time.
He hung up before I could say anything.
I grabbed a smorgasbord of condoms. Lee could have a selection.
Eddie caught up with me while I was lost in the lip-gloss section and pulled me away. I managed to snag a bottle of multi-vitamins (just in case) and several bars of watermelon taffy before Eddie marched me up to the counter.
I bought my seven boxes of condoms, six taffy sticks and my vitamins, and then our little shopping expedition was over.
