“Brittany!” Teagan felt her cheeks flush crimson as she looked around for something to do.

“What? I gave no details,” she argued. “Your rules, Teags.”

“I’m pretty sure insatiable is on my list of words I don’t need to hear in a sentence pertaining to Brad.”

She rolled her eyes. “Fine, I guess I can understand that. I’ve no interest in Justin’s or Willis’s sexcapades either. Since we can’t talk aboutmysex life, let’s talk about yours. How’s Jaxon?”

Teagan sighed and Brittany poked her shoulder. “Spill it, I’ve heard things.”

“What things?”

“I asked first.”

Teagan sighed. “Fine, well, he seems… very healthy.”

Britt snickered. “That’s all I’m getting? All I know is there was a bird complaining- not really of course but for the sake of the story- that she could barely walk after spending a weekend with him. You’ve been with him for a few weeks now, and you’re obviously walking.”

“Obviously,” Teagan replied, pressing her lips together and turning to go wipe off the display of Aglaonema. They looked like Britt had just done them, but she didn’t want to stand there discussing Jaxon’s past right then. Or ever.

Britt whistled as she watched her. “Oh honey, You’ve got it bad.”

“I do not,” she hissed. “I simply don’t want to discuss his past or anyone in it.”

“Must be difficult to do that if you ever fuck at his place.”

“Whose side are you on, Brittany?”

“Yours, love. Always yours. I just meant… his place was the former location of his liaisons, right?”

“It was. But on the floor. He doesn’t… we don’t… on his floor.” She wiped the leaves of one of the pink plants, keeping her eyes on the green variegation instead of anywhere else. God, it was a good thing she couldn’t keep these alive. If she had one at hers, she would never be able to look at it and think about anything else but her boyfriend Fucking everyone but her on the floor.

“That’s fair…” Britt mused.

“We have mostly been staying at mine anyway… and we’ve done it all over.”

But never on the floor at his. Was that because of any particular reason? She’d certainly attempted to seduce him over there but had so far only managed to blow him on the sofa. Not that it wasn’t enjoyable. Because it was. He made all these delightfully strangled sounds when she had her mouth on him and it was…

“He’s building a bed. For his place,” she blurted.

“Heis?” There was a lilt to Brittany’s voice that said more than she did, so of course, Teagan had to get more out of her.

“What did you mean by that?”

“Calm down, Teags. It’s just interesting is all. He never cared about that before you, did he?”

“I don’t know. Maybe he’s just used to sleeping in a bed like a civilized individual.”

“Or he’s used toyouand wants to keep you there. If the past birds are a point of contention, then maybe that’s why he’s doing it, so you won’t feel self-conscious.”

Too late, I already do.

“He’s doing it because he’s got lots of work left to do and he wanted to be able to bring me over,” she said with a tone of finality.

“Either way, that’s sweet,” Brittany said.

“Enough about me. How’s Brad?”

“He’s your brother,” Britt replied, smiling as a couple walked in through the front doors, marching up to the counter. The woman asked Brittany where her ‘pathos’ were located. Teagan had to assume she meant pothos. Either that or she was asking to see part of Brittany’s brain. The resulting transaction had put their conversation on pause, but as soon as the couple left with their ‘pathos’, Teagan picked right back up where she’d left off.
