The Cheer

Brian had blond hair, but it wasn’t soft and shiny like Tin’s—it was kind of wiry and dull—and his brown eyes were swimming with amusement. He tucked his hands into the pockets of his wool peacoat, which he had on over an expensive suit—he always wore an expensive suit. Even when we were together and I was into him, for some reason, I’d never gotten to tear the suave outfits off him. He always insisted on undressing and neatly draping the expensive fabric over a chair before we had sex. What the hell did I ever see in this douche?

“I thought it was you.” He smiled, as if he hadn’t “popped in” to the store and “bumped into me” at least once a week since we broke up. “I was hoping to bump into you.”

“Hey, Brian.” I sighed and shifted all the stuff in my arms. “Actually, I’m—”

“Did they change the uniforms or something?” he interrupted. He pointed to the guys coats behind me, then gestured up and down my body at El’s matching coat. “Christmas all the way?”

“No, they didn’t. I’m actually not working tonight.”

“Oh? Then what are you doing here? And what’s with the matching outfits?” He frowned at the guys again, looking them up and down in that way men do when sizing each other up.

I decided not to get into it. I just wanted to be as far away from him as possible. “Look, I really need to get moving and—”

“Yeah, yeah, I’m in a hurry too,” he interrupted me again. “Listen, I just need your help real quick. Can you tell me which bra and panties are a good brand or whatever?” He rolled his eyes with a smile.

“Excuse me?”

“Like, what’s a good one? Nice lingerie.” He leaned over with his hand next to his mouth, as if he were telling me a secret. “I left Tania’s gift to the last second.”

Tania was the woman he was currently seeing. He’d mentioned her the last three times we’d “bumped into each other” . . . at my work . . . while I was working.

“You want me to help you pick out panties for your girlfriend?” I raised my eyebrows.

He just shrugged as if it was no big deal. “Yeah. I mean, you know your shit, right? This is your thing.”

“You didn’t seem to think I ‘knew my shit’ when we were dating,” I half mumbled, unable to keep the comment in.

“What? I thought we were cool, Sadie.”

“Wait a minute.” El handed the few gifts he was carrying to Tin and stepped forward. “You’re asking your ex to help you pick out lingerie for your current girlfriend? Dude . . .” He just shook his head.

“What?” Brian frowned. “What’s the big deal? Who are you?”

“Bro, that’s pretty disrespectful to both women.” Tin stepped forward, then deftly caught a box of perfume that slipped off the pile of my shit he was holding.

“And who are you? And who’s that guy?” Brian pointed to Max, who was standing back but frowning at the whole exchange.
