“Because you deserve to be scandalous for once.”
BythetimeIfinish telling her everything, Inessa and I are both lying on our stomachs on my bed, Inessa’s chin propped in her hands and my head buried in a velvet cushion.
“It’s always the quiet ones!” Inessa says, kicking into my leg. “You sneaky little devil!”
“I wasn’t being sneaky! I didn’t know it would happen.”
“Liar—why else would you go to his house? To sit and talk and do homework?”
“We actually did a lot of that, too,” I point out, peering over the cushion.
“Yeah, yeah—in between all the kissing and licking and fucking.”
“Ness!” I cry, smacking her with the cushion.
She yanks the cushion out of my hand and tosses it away. “Oh, so you can do it but I can’t say it?”
“I know you’re younger than me, but can you try to be mature about this?”
“Alright, I’ll be mature.” She straightens her features into a solemn expression, lacing her fingers to rest her chin on them. “How many times did he make you come?”
I melt into embarrassed laughter, and this time, it’s my turn to kick into her leg. “How is that being mature?”
Inessa purses her lips and shoves her face into mine. “Answer the question, young lady.”
“I don’t know, alright! Several times—every time we did it.”
“Every time?” She jerks back. “How many times did you do it, you filthy girl?”
“I don’t remember—I didn’t count.”
“No, I bet! You must have lost count.”
I laugh and roll my eyes. “You’re so ridiculous. Anyway, I told you everything like you asked, so it’s your turn to tell me all about your holiday now.”
“Are you crazy? You barely even gave me any details!”
“I gave you far more than you deserved.” I half shove her off my bed. “You’re not getting any more details, so go already.”
“Alright, alright.” She sits, and then she sighs, and her expression becomes more serious. “Alright, but genuinely. Were you, you know. Careful? Safe?”
“Of course.” I hide my face in my hands. “Do we really need to have this conversation, Ness?”
“Yes, we do. I doubt you told anyone else, and that puts me in a position of responsibility.”
“Calm down”—I laugh, poking her arm—“you’re not my mother.”
“No, more like your rich, hot, single aunt.” She catches me in one arm and squeezes me. “You know I love you, Dora. I just want what’s best for you. I’m glad you were careful.” She looks at me, her grey eyes boring into mine. “And are you happy?”
My heart skips a beat and colour rises to my cheeks. I answer her truthfully. “I think I might be, Ness.”
“Then that’s all I care about.” She grins and kisses my cheek. “You deserve happiness more than anyone in this world, you know that?”
“Stop it,” I say, but my chest feels unbearably warm, and my eyes sting even though I can’t cry.
“I mean it,” Inessa says. “I love you, Dora.”
“I love you, too.”
