➸ Yarrow ☆

By the time Blackjack and I finish shopping, my clothes are nearly dry. We return to the townhomes where I help him carry our purchases inside. Soaked again, I leave Blackjack with the promise of returning for dinner. He walks me to Ginger’s back door even though I don’t need him to. Standing in the pouring rain, Blackjack watches me until I hurry upstairs for a shower.

As I strip out of my soaking clothes, I think of him doing the same on the other side of the adjoining wall. I can’t wait to see the tattoos hiding under his clothes. I want to run my fingers through his chest hairs. Maybe I’ll tug at his fur as if ready to cause him pain. Then Blackjack will give me that look he always gives me when I act weird. I very much love that look.

“What did you do today?” Ginger asks after I step into the hot shower.

Before I close the curtain, I notice her jump up to sit on the counter. “We went to Denny’s, a trailer park, and Wal-Mart.”

“What did you do at the trailer park?”

“Checking on the whores.”

“Anything you need to report?”

“Not right now.”

“Why not right now?”

“I’m not in the mood.”

“Okay,” she says in a soft, unhappy voice.

I peer out from the shower curtain and find Ginger frowning. “Why are you sad? Is Oz not putting out?”

“You sound like Clove.”

“Yeah, she says you’re really horny,” I tease before returning to washing my hair. “Blackjack makes me really horny.”

“Why?”

“I don’t know. I think it’s because he’s sexy. Isn’t that why you get horny for Oz?”

“Yes, but I’m...”

“What?” I ask from behind the curtain.

“You’re not on birth control. We need to fix that.”

“I don’t want to take birth control.”

“You’re not ready for a baby.”

Opening the curtain, I shake my head. “I don’t want more pills.”

“You can get a shot.”

“No,” I say, glaring at her now. “Shots hurt. Why can’t he use a condom?”

“I guess, he can.”

“Don’t cry.”

Ginger’s frown gets angry. “I’m not crying.”

“You could have fooled me,” I say and turn off the water. “You should be happy that I’m not trying to kill anyone.”

“I am. I want you to be happy, but maybe you’re rushing into this thing with Blackjack because you’re upset that I married Oz and you have to share me now.”

“No,” I mumble from under the towel. “I like having Alani and Makoa here. Oz is okay, and I like Tana. She smiles when I help her cook. I was scared when you started dating Oz because it was new, but it’s nice here now. It’s better than Little Memphis.”

Ginger smiles at me for the first time since I told her about dating Blackjack. She worries about me, and I worry about her. I had to learn not to stab the man she loves, and Ginger will no doubt learn to do the same. Just like the crew told me years ago, friendship involves compromise, and compromise means I couldn’t steal food from their plates whenever I wanted.
