âYou what?â Summer shrieks.
I cover my ears.
âI stayed over at a guyâs house,â I repeat before dropping my hands and grabbing a bottle of water from the refrigerator and a bag of grapes. Iâm hungrier than usual since my stay with Jeremy last night.
âDid you go all the way?â
I smile around my bottle as I sip.
âFilthy animal. I knew it,â Chelsea adds, walking into the kitchen and grabbing some cookies.
I grab one after a few more grapes. Iâm going to train and then visit my parents before Jeremy picks me up at six tonight for dinnerâ¦then strip poker.
âIâm jealous of you girls. I would do anything for a single kiss right now.â Summer sulks.
âNot desperate, are you?â Chelsea teases. âEven though my relationship is so boring. I have to turn sex down with Bobby now.â
âNo!â I shrill.
I couldnât think of ever turning down Jeremy. If anything, I want more. I canât get enough of him or the vision of him on his knees licking me while I lay on his bed this morning until I came. Then he took me into his shower, but he had to leave for an emergency call. There was a security threat at his Manhattan Hospital.
She nods. âYup. Itâs so forced. I donât know whatâs wrong with me.â
âItâs not you. Itâs him,â Summer snaps. She takes a seat with us at the table.
âIf youâre not happy you should leave,â I add.
âI am happy,â she replies.
Her tone doesnât convince any of us.
âAnyway, enough about me and my boring sex life. Tell us more about the mystery guy.â
âOkay, well, I got a text from a wrong number. His. We talked and heâs funny and easy on the eyes.â
âUgh. Heâs hot, isnât he?â Summer asks.
âVery. Like way out of my league.â
âPfft. Heâs lucky to have you,â Chelsea argues.
I smile. âThanks, Chels.â
âHe's crazy rich. His house is incredible,â I say.
âI get the feeling youâre already wanting to move in,â Summer says with a laugh.
âFor his kitchen and bookshelves alone, yes. I can imagine cooking in it overlooking the city every day.â
âWhat does he do?â Chelsea asks, fascinated.
âOwns a chain of hospitals,â I say.
Summer whistles. âWhenâs he taking you out again?â
âThis afternoon.â
âDamn girl. Heâs not messing around,â Summer adds.
I laugh.
âWill you stay over again?â Chelsea asks.
I hesitate.
I want toâ¦
âProbably,â I admit.
âI canât wait for you to fill us in. Have you told your parents?â
âNo, Iâll tell them today. I do feel guilty not spending my extra time with them.â
I take a bite of a cookie and chew it.
âThey would want you happy. And by the look on your face, he makes you happy,â Summer says.
I smile stupidly. He does.
âI need to get dressed for the gym and Iâll be back. Iâll need your help with my date outfit.â
âI wonât be here, Iâll be out.â Chelsea winces.
I stand. âItâs okay, I can dress myself.â
âHey. Iâm here. Iâd love to help,â Summer says.
Chelsea looks relieved. I lean over and grab her hand.
âGo out and have fun. You do plenty for me.â I wink.
