“So, you going to come out with us this Friday?” K. sorts through a rack of vintage T’s. “Dinner, then movie, and it’s the new one you wanted to see. Pick you up at seven?”

“I can’t.” I pull out a pink T-shirt with a huge picture of Julio Iglesias screened onto the front, the graphic cracked in places but still vibrant. “This is so bad it’s good.”

K. flips the tag. “Not for $85, it’s not.” She snorts.

“Come on, you know you love it.” I hold it up to her body. “Try it on.”

We’re in Generation Cool, a funky retro resale shop on 4th Ave. It’s fun to come here in the evenings, when people are strolling, to check out the eclectic shops and cafes.

“So why can’t you come?” K. pushes Julio into my arms and extricates an original Gucci shirt that’s about 8 sizes to large for her small frame. “This one is even more. Jesus.” She shakes her head.

“I have plans.” It’s been a few days since my last tryst with Alain, and he’s all I can think about. My body aches for him, and I can’t wait for Friday…when I get to have him again. The rest of my life seems dull and bland compared to the exquisite moments I spend with him.

“Oh?” K. raises her brow. “With the guy again?” I feel like there’s a little tone of something in her voice.

I ignore the vibe. “Yes, with the guy. Alain.” Just saying his name makes me smile, a little sly grin. “Friday is kind of our night.” It’s been three Fridays so far, each one better than the last.

“When are we going to meet him?” K. puts the Gucci back and turns to look at me.

“Well.” But I don’t answer.

“And why doesn’t he have social media? You know what I think of people who have zero digital footprint.”

She steps closer to me to allow egress for the girl on rollerskates and bright pink hair, who zooms into the propped-open door in shorts so tight they could be paint. A photographer follows close behind, snapping shots as she poses. The worker behind the counter, who gives off random whiffs of faded 420, does not seem bothered in the slightest—apparently this place is cool with pics.

“You think they’re psycho weirdos. I know.” I make a face.

“Why don’t you have even one picture?”

I laugh a little. “He’s really rich, I think. Into finance. Likes his privacy. Kind of old school. Does it matter?”

“Yeah, because I need to see if he’s cute enough for you, duh.” She rolls her eyes. “Seriously, though. Who under the age of eighty-two isn’t online? I mean, my grandma’s got Facebook, and she’s 90.”

I shrug. “Well, he’s about ten years older. And he told me he’s just not into social media. Some people aren’t.”

The truth is, I find it a little odd, too. But when I’m with him, I’m so caught up in the sex and the attraction, the magic of it all, that I don’t care.
