Maria was flipping pancakes when I got home. The early morning sun was gleaming through the windows, soft Christmas music was playing throughout the apartment, she turned around when she heard the door open. “Someone’s home a little late.”

“I—uh—just had to get some things at the store,” I said.

Bacon sizzled on the stove, and she waved the spatula at me. “Why don’t you have breakfast with me and you can tell me about the things you bought at the store.” She made two plates for us, and I sighed. “I made your favorite!”

My stomach growled, and I cursed at it. She placed our plates at the counter and hopped up onto a stool. “So, how was the date?”

“What date?”

“With Eros.” She playfully rolled her eyes at me. “I saw you come home with him this morning.”

I grabbed a piece of bacon and broke it in half, letting the grease glisten on my fingers. “It was good.”

“What’d you do?” She stuffed a forkful of pancakes in her mouth.

“Stuff.”

“Sexy stuff?” she asked. I pressed my lips together, cheeks flushing. “Oh, my gosh. You did, didn’t you?”

There was no point in even trying to lie to her anymore. She was going to find out one way or another. Zane would probably tell her that I was in his apartment—half-naked and banging on the bathroom door for Eros to come out.

“Kind of,” I said.

She banged her fist on the table, making the utensils jump. “Finally! The sexual tension between you two was killing me. Every time I was around, I thought I was going to go crazy for you.” She smirked, rested her forearms on the table, and leaned forward. “How good is he? Is he, you know, well-endowed?”

I shook my head at her and smiled softly. “I don’t know. We didn’t have sex.”

“Ugh,” she said, throwing her head back. “Why not?”

“I think he got sick.” I didn’t want her to pry anymore, so I leaned forward. “So… how are you and Zane?”

She took a long sip of her orange juice. “Thinking about it makes me want to day drink.” She stabbed her pancakes. “I was actually starting to like him, and I think he started to actually like me too. But…” She sighed. “Last night he asked me if I would consider an open relationship.”

“Oh.” An open relationship? That was like what Kasey had with Aarav and Mycah. “Would you consider it?”

She twirled her fork and gazed down. “I’m not sure. I’m not good at the whole relationship thing, I have trust issues and get jealous over the smallest things.”

“You don’t seem like a jealous person.”

“I hide it well.” She parted her lips and took a deep breath. “My dad cheated on my mom when I was little, and it screwed me up. I’m trying to work on it with my therapist though.” She gnawed on the inside of her cheek. “But I’m scared.”

I walked around the table and pulled her into a hug. “Take a leap of faith and let him know how you feel.
