“Wow, so you lost your virginity to a stranger?”
“Not exactly. I already knew him from a few years ago.”
“Yeah? How?”
“He used to be married to Laurel.”
Holly’s jaw falls open comically. “You slept with your sister’s ex-husband on her wedding night?” After I nod, she says, “I bet she’s going to be furious when she finds out! Can I please be there when you tell her?”
“No! I wasn’t planning on making it a thing, rubbing it in her face or whatever. Laurel doesn’t need to know.”
“Why not? She’s always been such a bitch to you. It’s time for payback.”
“That’s not why I slept with him.”
“Then…why did you? “
“Because he’s gorgeous and sweet, and he wanted me. Like he desperately wanted me.”
“Oh yeah? So it was good?”
“Yes.”
“But why did you come over here afterward?”
“Because my dad came home and caught him sneaking out.”
Holly slaps her palm over her gaping mouth. “Oh my god.”
“He threw a big fit, acted like I was still a child, and I just had enough, you know? I need to start figuring out my life away from him.”
“Absolutely. Stay here as long as you need.”
“Are you sure your roommate won’t mind?”
“Brooke is cool. She won’t care,” Holly says with a dismissive wave of her hand. “So, when are you going to see…what’s his name again?”
“His name is Barrett, and I don’t think I will see him again.”
“Why not? You said the sex was great, right? Trust me, the pain goes away…”
“That’s good to know, but, um, I sort of told him something to the effect of it was just for one night.”
Holly blinks her brown eyes at me in confusion. “Why would you do that?”
“Because he’s so gorgeous, and I didn’t think he would be interested in more. I figured I would just make it casual so he wouldn’t change his mind…”
“That was stupid, Ly.”
I face-palm myself. “I know. He probably didn’t ask to see me again, so I guess I was right.”
“That seriously sucks.”
I nod while telling her, “It’s really for the best. My dad probably scared him away for good. You know how scary he can be.”
“Very scary,” she agrees.
“So now I’m homeless with no direction in my life whatsoever, still single like usual and still unemployed. At least I’m not an un-kissed virgin.”
