“Not very long. Like a year.”
“Okay. And was it serious?”
“Not at all,” I shook my head. “Honestly, I think he stuck around for so long because he was trying to get me into bed.”
“Okay, then.”
“Yeah, guys love the chase. And when I wouldn’t sleep with him, I think that just made me even more attractive to him.”
“Why wouldn’t you sleep with him? Are you like a born-again Christian or something?”
“No, but I’m not going to sleep with someone unless I really feel like I have feelings for them and there is some sort of relationship.”
“Okay, I can respect that.”
“Well, thank you. I’m glad you can respect that, Austin.”
“Are you being sarcastic with me, Lucy?”
“Who me? Would I ever be sarcastic with you?”
“Okay, so you’re definitely being sarcastic with me.”
“I’m just saying that I don’t care if you respect it or not. It’s really not up to you.”
“Whoa. Hold up, girlfriend. I’m not saying anything about it. I was being sincere. I can respect that you have boundaries when it comes to sex. Some women do and some women don’t, and that’s their choice if they want to or not. I’m not judging you, and I’m not judging anyone else. Hey, I’m not this evil bastard that you think I am.”
“Sorry,” I said. “I’m just used to so many guys who want to express an opinion on women’s sexuality, but they don’t have any opinion on how many women men are sleeping around with. I hate the double standard.”
“I can understand that,” he nodded. “Guys can suck sometimes.”
I burst out laughing. “How are you so cool?”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean, I’m just surprised at how open-minded you are for a man that’s grown up on a ranch with six brothers and no sisters.”
“My mom has been a pretty strong influence in our lives, and believe it or not, so is Sadie. She’s been like a little sister to all of us.”
“So … what’s up with Sadie and Wyatt?”
“What do you mean?”
“I mean, they’re best friends, right?”
“Yeah.”
“And they’ve never dated?”
“No, they haven’t.”
“Do you think they’re in love?”
“Well, we all love her.”
“I mean, do you think they’re in love love?”
“I don’t like to get involved in anyone else’s love life but my own.” He shook his head.
