“More for me,” she sings, taking another scoop, and… started tochewthe ice cream. That was something I’d never seen before. “Now tell me, who’s this guy and what has he done to make you look like that?”
Sitting there, staring at my new friend, I wondered when we became this close that I was so willing to give her all the details. I’d never had a friend close enough to do this with, which left me to wonder if I’d ever actually had a friend at all.
Not that I’d ever planned for this friendship. It just kind of happened. She’d just started coming over, and I started letting her in.
“I tutor him.”
“Ooh. This sounds juicy.” She wiggled around, getting herself comfortable. “I knew I was here for a reason. What kind of things were you tutoring him in? Foreplay?” Her eyebrows wiggled, and I couldn’t even laugh. I was so embarrassed to be talking about this. I’d never confided in anyone about my love life.
I cringed. “Never mind. I shouldn’t have said that.”
“No wait. I’m sorry. It was a joke. Please, please, tell me the story. I’m dying to know.”
“Okay, well, I tutor him, and he just happened to be near me when this bitch, Rachel, was trying to make me feel inferior.”
“This already sounds delicious.”
“Without asking, he pretended to be my boyfriend and from then on, we kind of had to keep the façade up when we were in public.”
“Oh yeah? Are you sure this wasn’t a ploy to get in your pants?”
“No. he wanted me to tutor him, and I’d declined because he implied I was a Cam girl when I first met him.”
She drew in a large breath. “Ouch.”
“Yeah. I could barely stand the guy when we first started talking.”
“But now…?”
“But now, I’m not so sure. Things just started to get weird between us.”
“I’m sure it was right when he saw you in that dress.”
“No, it was before that. I took him out for a tutoring session tonight, and well, it went differently than I expected. He kissed me.” I couldn’t stop smiling, and I felt ridiculous.
“Kissed again? Is that a euphemism?”
“No. We were just kissing on the football field.”
“Oh my god!” She nearly dropped her ice cream in excitement. “Like he lifted you in his arms and spun you around, kissing you until you were dizzy? That’s like my dream.”
“Not exactly. We were on the ground, and he was, uh, on top of me.”
“Aster. You dirty dog. I didn’t think you had it in you.” She took another slurp of her ice cream. “You can’t tell me that was it.”
“We were in public. He was respectful.”
“While he was lying on top of you?”
“Yeah.” Admittedly, playing it back made it sound worse than it was.
“Ah, say no more.” She pointed her spoon at me before shoveling it with more ice cream. “I get it. You dry humped.”
I was speechless. The only noise filling the room was the gentle scrape of satisfaction her spoon made against the bottom of the tub.
How the hell did she know? What the hell was I supposed to say to that?
“It’s alright. We’ve all been there. One little kiss leads to a few passing touches, which then lead to your body’s moving. Before you know it, you’re riding the zip of his jeans to oblivion. It’s nothing to be ashamed of and happens to the best of us.”
