Chapter Five

When I closed the door behind Wanda and walked back into the living room, Marty watched me like a hawk. I kicked off my shoes, my socks, and then sat down next to him.

“How do you feel?” he asked.

I looked at him and laughed. “Like a person cursed?”

“Well, I think you should get some sleep.”

He stood up and motioned for me to get up, extending out both his arms. I took them and then followed him into my room, where Marty dropped himself into the armchair beside my bed as I turned to face him.

“You aren’t going to sit there all night, are you?”

“Just long enough for you to fall asleep,” he answered. “I can’t imagine the curse can get you when you’re asleep.”

“Why can’t you imagine that?”

He shrugged. “Actually, I’m not really sure.”

I didn’t respond, but grabbed my jammies from the bottom drawer and walked into the bathroom to put them on before brushing my teeth. All the while, I kept thinking about how odd it felt to have Marty in my room while I was getting undressed in the bathroom. I mean, if someone had asked us, I imagined we both would’ve said we were dating but, here I was getting undressed in privacy. Yet, at the thought of undressing in front of Marty—I just felt all kinds of strange and weird. Had it been Roy here when we were still an item, I would’ve undressed in front of him without a second thought. But, maybe that was just owing to the fact that I’d had sex with Roy, but not Marty? At the very thought of having sex with Marty, I started to laugh.

“What’s so funny?” he asked as I walked back into my room, now dressed in my jammies. At his question, I immediately thought of a white lie so I wouldn’t hurt his feelings, but then a funny thing happened—I actually just decided to tell him the truth.

“I was thinking about you and me having sex, and the thought made me laugh.”

“Um,” he started, and then frowned at me as I stood at the head of the bed and reached down to pull back the blankets.

“I’m not sure how to take that,” he continued as he rolled his eyes to the ceiling. “On the one hand, I’m happy, though surprised, to know you think about us having sex.” He took a breath as I laughed again. “But, on the other hand, I’m not sure you laughing at us having sex is a good thing.”

“I think it’s a good thing.”

He frowned at me even more. “Why’s that?”

“Because it means I’m comfortable with you,” I shrugged. “I mean, I was comfortable enough with you to tell you I laughed at the thought of us having sex, so that’s got to mean something.”

“Was it like you were laughing at me or laughing with me?”

“Well, you weren’t laughing.”

“So it was at me.”

I bit my lower lip to keep from giggling at the highly concerned expression on his face. “Well, not really.
