“You give the best heart to hearts.”
“I try.”
“You’re a billionaire and president of a corporate conglomerate and you’re incompetent. Just fucking listen.”
“I’m listening. Why the hell would you fuck her when you knew your dad was marrying her mom?”
“I didn’t know who she was. She said her name was Julie.”
He put his fist in front of his mouth.
“Are you laughing?”
“No,” he lied. “It’s just so beautiful when things come around full circle. What is it called? Oh, yeah. Poetic justice.”
“Fuck you. I gave her a fake name too.”
He shook his head. “Of course you did.”
“What?”
“Why would you do that?”
I threw up my hands. “Because that’s just how we do sometimes. You know this. It’s not to be an ass.”
“Of course not.”
“It’s anonymity. So they don’t find out who my family is. Don’t tell me when you were single you never picked up a chick at a bar and gave her a fake name, so she wouldn’t know who you were. Or who your family was.”
“I’d prefer to stay out of this.”
Of course he would.
“She said something about it being a one night stand, but that’s just what girls say, right? She was nineteen. Why wouldn’t she want to see me again? I made her come like six times. We did gymnastics. It was like the Olympics in there.”
Dane sighed and looked at his watch.
“I left her my number. And my first name. Then the next day, I found out who she was. I’m sure she found out who I was, too. Because, you know, radio silence. Then she avoided me like the plague, and then she moved to California. Like I’m a fucking leper.”
“That’s offensive to people with leprosy.”
I tossed out my arms. “Are there any in this room right now?”
“You mean besides you?”
I hurled one of the little decorative pillows from his overpriced couch at his head. He ducked.
When he recovered, he smoothed his perfect, dark-blond hair and squinted at me. “Oh. You like her.”
“Did you hear anything I just said?”
“I heard everything you just said.”
“And?”
“And you clearly have problems.”
“That does not help me.”
