CHAPTER 15

Brooke stood in front of the full-length mirror in their dressing room – no, she still wasn’t over the fact they had one – and smoothed down her navy jump suit.

She was going on a date with Noah’s mum, and Noah had arranged it. The world had gone mad. Official.

Was this outfit okay? Not over the top? She couldn’t ask Noah, even though she was pretty sure he didn’t suspect a thing. Besides, he was totally in a world of his own. In the bathroom, the speaker spat out classic Kylie, and when she walked over to her sink to finish her makeup, Noah was indeed spinning around.

When he saw her, his eyebrows went into what Brooke could only describe as a spasm. “Hello, Mrs Hotpatooties.”

When he was excited, Noah morphed into being half-London, half-Texan.

“You look drop-dead gorgeous. Wasted on my mother.”

Au contraire.

Brooke willed her face to stay neutral.

“But maybe you can scheme to break up one of the other couples on their romantic dinner. You could take the woman. My mum could take the man.”

Noah had shown her the dinner brochure. Five tables for five couples, all spaced out along the beach, with a violinist playing uplifting music and black-tie table service. Brooke would bet her life all the other couples would be straight: she couldn’t imagine any other queers voluntarily signing up to this show of heteronormativity. However, the more she thought about it, the more she was glad they were doing this. More queers should go on these dates. Show their presence. Disrupt the norm.

Just like she’d disrupted Jen’s norm, and vice versa.

Brooke leaned into the mirror, and ran her pinky finger over her eyebrow to straighten it out. She got them styled and tinted every two months. They were two of her most prized possessions. The one solid piece of advice Claudia had passed on to her: do not over-pluck your eyebrows. She applied a coat of dark red to her lips and covered it with a lip gloss. Would Jen be kissing it off later? Her clit throbbed at the thought. She could only hope.

“You don’t look so bad yourself,” she threw over her shoulder, just as there was a knock at the door.

Whose date was that? Suddenly, she felt 15 again.

This holiday was stressful, but also, crazy and thrilling. Jen was thrilling. Brooke pushed down her excitement with a wide grin as Noah got the door.

Jen stepped into the room, quickly followed by Chad. They’d both turned up at once, like they were all starring in some cheesy rom-com. Jen wore white trousers and a black-and-white halter-neck top that showed off her sculpted arms and tan. Brooke wanted to wrap herself around her and never leave the room.

Noah blushed the colour of an aubergine. “Mum, this is Chad. Chad, my mum.”

“We met on the doorstep,” Chad replied. “I should have known she’d be this beautiful. Look at her son.”

Brooke swallowed down a snort. She expected Noah to have a similar reaction. But instead, he beamed at Chad.
