FAE SMUT

“Can’t believe you went to that guy’s house without me,” Jess reprimanded, referring to Andras.

“In retrospect, I’d probably wait for you if I had to do it again so it doesn’t look like I’m fucking him.” I sighed.

“I hate Bethany,” Jess grumbled, taking a huge bite of her strawberry croissant, pausing for a heartbeat to scan the coffee shop from the table where we sat. “And I hate that she’s so awful that I have to hate her. Women supporting women, and all that, but it’s impossible with her. I didn’t think she was all that great back when we were kids, but I swear, puberty made her actually evil.”

“I blame her parents. Mom and Dad were bonkers, but they never tried to turn us against anyone.”

Jess raised an eyebrow, “Mom and Dad?”

“Okay, they did, but her parents must have held a brainwashing meeting that included a ten-year plan for all the ways she should terrorize us.”

I exhaled and rolled my shoulders back. The barista, a pretty blonde woman with a nose ring, set a latte down in front of me. I nodded a thank you.

“I feel like I’m being stalked,” I said, taking a drink from the blue mug, savoring the vanilla-flavored foam of the oat milk. “And actually, I keep getting this feeling that I’m being watched. Even before the break-in.”

“You are being stalked. These bitches have nothing better to do than meddle in everyone else’s lives. And the funniest part is that it’s not like Bethany’s life is picture perfect–fuck, we know that better than anyone growing up across the street from her,” Jess shook her head. “None of them have perfect lives, so they’ve got some nerve judging everyone else.” She pressed her lips together tightly for a beat. “Do you know who took the photo?”

“I mean, there’s only one person it could be. Kim is the only one who lives in our neighborhood–everyone else lives on the hill.”

“Kim, huh?”

“Kim,” I shrugged. “Such a bummer, too. She didn’t seem so bad.”

“People will do crazy shit to be accepted, Danny. I mean, not us–we seem to enjoy being outcasts. But everyone else likes to be liked.”

I huffed a laugh.

Jess cocked her head, her glossy bob glistening under the cafe lights, “It’s true, you know,” she added, adjusting her blazer.

“You look nice,” I complimented her. My sister was forever a beauty, timeless but modern and quirky all at the same time. She’d basically worn a uniform all her life, first in Catholic school, and then she created a sort of business casual uniform for the rest of her life: blouse, blazer, and slacks–what she had referred to as Queer Professional in high school. And damn, did she make it her brand and pull it off every day for a decade.

“Thank you. I like your outfit, too.” She said, eyeing my jeans and sweater, “especially the oxfords with the ankle socks.”

“Mersi,” I said, thanking her in Persian.

She winked, then asked, “What’s the plan for Bethany?”

“I don’t know. Hex her?”

“Hasn’t worked in the past,” Jess said casually.
