My arm around her waist. Her chest. Her neck.
Between her legs.
But then she’s not here. I’m here. In a public place for fuck’s sake.
I need to do this with subtlety.
A tease for a tease.
I place my hand on the button of my jeans and snap a photo. The angle is a little awkward, but it’s more interesting than my arm on the dash.
I send.
Woosh.
Deanna:Tease.
River:Always.
Deanna:Don’t say you didn’t ask for this.
A minute later, she sends a photo, from her nose to her chest. Sparkly pink fabric covers her pale skin. Thin straps. A low neckline.
Not at all Deanna, but sexy all the same.
River:Do you like it?
Deanna:You’re supposed to say something about how desperately you want me.
River:I want you desperately.
Deanna:Better.
River:Leave now. Meet me somewhere.
Deanna:I promised Lexi I’d go out with her.
River:Can I convince you?
Deanna:Can you?
She leaves the offer hanging in the air.
There are things I can say, promises I can make, promises I’m tempted to make.Let’s drive to that make-out spot and fuck in the back seat. Let’s go to your room and test drive your bed.
Let’s skinny dip in your pool.
I don’t care, as long as I can feel you.
But I can’t promise to let go, put her first, disappear into the moment. Not right now. Reality occupies too much of my mind.
Not just the bigger situation with Grandma, not just her sickness, but the discussion I need to have with her.
She isn’t going to like it, and I have to get over that. Maybe then I can give Deanna the attention she deserves.
River:I’ll see you at ten.
Deanna:Until then.
