CHAPTER FOURTEEN
Bridget
I havenât done this in forever, like, since I was a kid, but itâs obvious Kylie has never done it before at all. Kat either, but at least sheâs small and compact, like a monkey, giving her an advantage in leverage that mostly negates her disadvantage in experience. Kylie, on the other hand, is tall. Normally that means sheâs statuesque. But today, on the rock, sheâs just gangly. Her toned legs arenât especially strong; well-kept fingernails do nothing to help her grip little crevices. She doesnât understand how important it is to hug the rock so sheâs closer to standing than hanging on for dear life, and Iâm sure as hell not telling her. Mostly, sheâs an increasingly sweaty and grunting mess, and keeps staring daggers back at me as if this was all my idea.
This is the part, in a reality TV show, where the cameras would be capturing it all for the publicâs amusement. Reality shows are one of my guilty pleasures, so I know how this usually works. Kylieâs struggles, handled by a deft crew for later broadcast, would be cute rather than humiliating. Sheâd laugh when the cameramen laughed, knowing the joke is more with her than at her expense, seeing as itâs unreasonable to expect tall beauties like her to have rock-climbing experience, and therefore itâs all in good fun. On TV, it would be obvious that the three of us are competitors, but weâd keep our claws retracted in public, extending them only in private. So right now, weâd all be laughing, pretending weâre friends. Kylie might even trip and fall into Trevorâs arms, coincidentally of course. And then sheâd say something endearing about how sheâs so clumsy. And the charming bachelor would fall for her just a little bit more.
But there isnât any crew. Itâs just me, Kylie, and Kat. Trevor is handling belay duty, the rope threaded through a complicated anchor at the short cliffâs top. Iâve done a respectable job of climbing with the rope as a just in case safety line. Remarkably, so has Kat. But Trevorâs had to hold a lot of Kylieâs weight. Itâs satisfying on two levels. First of all, Kylie looks like a floundering asshole. And second, holding her up strains Trevorâs arms, and his arms are almost as nice as Danielâs â with the significant advantage that the guy theyâre attached to actually smiles, says please and thank you, treats us like people.
Iâm not here to have sex with anyone, but I let myself think of what it would be like with Trevor. Iâll bet heâd be courteous. Iâll bet heâd ask permission. Iâll bet he wouldnât shoot his load up my back and into my hair, necessitating a backward walk of shame out of a club with a stain on my dress.
I look at Daniel. Heâs watching Kat ascend, making notes on a small pad. The notepad is like a thorn in Kylieâs side. Not only does she suck at rock climbing â
