In the bathroom, looking in the mirror at my “Slightly Larger than Lena Dunham on a Good Day” figure: Rolly stomach when I sit. Dimply hips when I stand. Muffin-top. Nice “tits.” Yep. Not bad. A little droopy, but fleshy. A good asset, I decide. So now I have a sexy voice and sexy tits.

OK.

Thighs? They’re OK, I guess. They’re large, yeah, but shapely. I can see that now. I see the muscles in them when I flex. Uh-huh. I can see how a dude might like those.

Confidence shot. I’d been missing my confidence shot for the year... No, the decade.

Ass, view from the side. Hmmm. Not a good asset. Moving on.

Suck the tummy in. Looks good, but I can’t breathe. Forget that. Just put the lights off.

Calves, upper arms, forearms. I stretch my arms out. Not cool. A little droopy at the bottom. Layna says they’re not. But Layna’s biased. All best friends are biased. It’s what makes them best friends.

“Gin?” Ace’s voice from outside the door.

“Gimme a minute. A girl has to get herself ready!”

My hair, not bad.

My mind drifts... Hell, that was hot at the observation point. How he just came for me. Out of nowhere. Damn! I hadn’t been expecting it. And when he did, when he slid up behind me. I was his. Completely his.

I’m glad I met him. I’d really like to stay in touch with him. He’s basically the first guy I’ve done anything beyond second base with since high school. That’s gotta check off Friend Forever right there, right? I hate it that people who hook up never stay friends. I don’t want to lose Ace as a friend, so I need to play this cool. I need to not let it go too far.

“Gin?”

“Damn it, boy, put a leash on it!”

“OK.” A weak sound.

And I trust him. Maybe this is good for me. I can tell he cares, as best as he can. I understand his whole commitment thing. What he doesn’t know is that I’m worse than him. I can’t commit. Not to him. Not to anyone. Too much pressure. What if I gain ten pounds next month? Maybe I’m OK-looking now. Maybe. But ten more pounds? I can’t do that to him. And I can’t guarantee I won’t put it on. Even if I stop drinking Frappuccinos for the rest of my life.

I think this is good for me. A little fun. A little confidence booster with a dude I like hanging out with. Yeah, you go girl.

I can do this.

I put on my sweaty dress again. Going out naked in that well-lit room is out of the question.

When I get in the room I see Ace lying on the bed, arm behind his head. Sexy.

I gulp.

He gets up, goes to the shower, but on his way he slows down when he reaches me. Looks down at me with greedy eyes.

And then his fingers just graze past me. There.

I think I make a yelp of a sound, or a whimper.
