“Kyzer Stanfield.”

“Are you talking about that rich dufus who was escorting you to and from class right before holiday break?”

“He is not a dufus, Darce. He is extremely intelligent, cute, and is even a jock.”

“He is? What sport?”

“Golf,” I replied.

“Oh, please,” she replied with a full eye roll. “That’s not a jock-type sport.”

“Oh, really? Why don’t you tell Tiger Woods that?”

“Okay, so you seriously want to start dating Kyzer, for real?”

“Why not? He is kind and considerate. I told you about him sending his father’s private jet up to bring my grandmother to us. We’ve been talking a couple times every day since then.”

“Uh huh,” she replied. “Did he happen to call while Taz was fucking your brains out?”

She started with the laughter again and by this time, it was getting on my nerves.

“You know what, Darcy? I’m just not going to tell you a flipping thing anymore if all you want to do is poke fun at me.”

“Hey, Linds, I’m sorry. You’re right. If Kyzer is the one you’re attracted to, then by all means, pursue the relationship. But, if you’re simply looking to get laid on a regular basis, it seems to me that you might be better suited to someone like Taz.”

I whirled around from where I had been staring out the car window to face her.

“You have got to be kidding! He and I have nothing in common, Darcy. That is insane.”

“Okay,” she said, “Just sayin’ that’s all. It doesn’t just have to be about the sex forever.”

I wanted to get off of the subject of Taz with her. She was clueless as to how Taz operated. I couldn’t imagine Taz ever being a one-woman man for starters.

For another thing, Taz made no bones about his career and where he wanted to take it. That would never fit into the path I had chosen for myself.

“So Darce, tell me what’s going on with you and Darin.”

She smiled big.

“He is so fine,” she said. “And I gotta tell you, what that ‘G-Man’ can do with his tongue is totally, freaking amazing.”

“Really? So are you guys like fuck-buddies or what?”

“I think it may be more than that. He’s pretty busy with his training and stuff, but we made plans to see each other when we can.”

“That’s great,” I replied, feeling a bit envious of her.

Darcy had broken up last year with the guy she had gone with all during high school and through her first year of college. It had been difficult but he went to the University of Wisconsin and the distance had been too much.

“Hey,” I said, “have you talked to Jill over the holidays?”

“Yeah, she called me yesterday as a matter of fact. She’s not getting in until tomorrow night. Apparently, some drama went down with her and her boyfriend Michael out there. She tried to break things off and he didn’t take it well.”

“You’re kidding. What happened?”

“From what Jill said, he got fairly wasted and totaled his car. He broke one of his legs pretty bad. He is having surgery today so they can put pins in it. She said she didn’t feel right not staying there through his surgery.”

“Oh, my God,” I said. “I bet she really is in love with Gabe.”
