“Maybe I’ll crash with my other cousin for a few days just to piss you off,” I said. “He still lives in your neighborhood.”
Her eyes narrowed. “Who?”
“Cotton.”
“He’s your cousin?”
“’Fraid so.”
She huffed. “He’s my next-door neighbor.”
“Oh no,” I said, feigning horror. “You might catch something from living next door to my cousin!”
She snorted. “I didn’t know, that’s all. Not that he’s going to go around advertising it. Poor guy.”
“Eh, he’s like a second cousin twice removed or some shit,” I said. “I don’t even think we share blood. Only in Arkansas would people call us cousins.”
“So the Dolces don’t count it,” she said, nodding. Then she gave a little smile and turned to the window.
“What?” I asked.
“Nothing.”
Before I could think better of it, I reached over and tugged a lock of her blonde hair. She whipped around, her mouth falling open with indignation that I’d touch her. I just smiled. “Tell me.”
“I was just thinking about Cotton’s pool house,” she said.
“What about it?” I asked, because now I was thinking about it too. I did that way too fucking much already.
“I lost my virginity in his pool house,” she said.
“You wouldn’t be the first.”
“Oh, gross,” she said. “You lost your virginity there too? Oh my god, that means I’ve had sex on the same bed as you. I probably really do have herpes. Oh shit. I probably gave it to all the Dolces. They’re going to murder me.”
I couldn’t help but laugh. “I’m pretty sure those guys have already fucked the entire school. They’re not going to know who gave it to them. And sorry about the herp, but you didn’t get it from me. I’ve only ever fucked two girls without a condom.”
“That doesn’t even protect you from herpes.”
“It doesn’t?” I asked, gaping at her.
“No,” she said, giving me a look. “Didn’t you pay attention in health class?”
“I usually skipped to have sex under the bleachers.”
“Ew,” she said. “But at least you probably didn’t have anything when you were in that bed, since you were a virgin then.”
“I didn’t sayIwas the virgin,” I said, shooting her a grin. Maybe I was gloating a little, but that night featured in way too many of my jerk-off sessions.
I realized Gloria was still staring at me, and I adjusted my hand on the top of the steering wheel. “I lost my V-card in Grandpa’s treehouse, like all the Darlings. It’s a tradition.”
She shivered. “Creepy.”
“So, who’d you lose your V-card to in Cotton’s pool house?” I asked. “Cotton? Or did you save it for Royal?”
She crossed her arms over her chest. “I’m not telling you that.”
“Why?”
