Phone sex.

First masturbating while two people got each other off, and then phone sex.

Who was I?

When did Eli and Joystick’s roles in my life trade places? Eli was the one I was having the filthy fantasies about, and I wanted to spend time seeing what was going on in Joystick’s brain.

But saying they’d traded places wasn’t a fair way to put it. I’d spent just enough time with each of them to admit neither was a two-dimensional outlet for my years of pent-up frustration. Neither was a fling or a wild way for me to forget for a few hours at a time that I was a responsible adult.

That presented a new problem because wild-Kandace and boring-normal-plain-Kandace both wanted both men. What was I supposed to do with that?

The conundrum taunted me for days, mingling with me thinking about Joystick’s restaurant plans of all things. If he were anyone else, if he came to me with an idea like the one I’d seen spread out on his desk, I’d want to help him grow it.

It wasn’t the kind of project I invested in. Raul and Diego were as much diversification for me as anything, and their chain would hit a wider audience. But what Joystick was doing… It was still unique. Fascinating. The kind of thing I’d love to be involved in.

The thing was, he hadn’t come to me. He hadn’t asked me for help. Offering felt like overstepping.

And I wanted to go out with him again. Without having to give up Eli.

Thursday morning, I wrapped up a small team call, and Carly stayed on the phone to chat. It was a shame I hadn’t realized I could be friends with her until right before she moved to Italy.

I was glad she’d taken the job to manage our European office, though—she was top notch at the job. And I was happy for her and the love she’d found.

“Did Joystick ever find you?” Her question came out of left field.

“What?”

“I know, I’m a horrible friend. I should’ve told you the minute he left here, and I meant to, but it’s not the kind of thing one drops in a text, and we haven’t had a chance to talk until now.”

No. Really. “What?”

“Are you going deaf in your old age?” She teased.

Smart ass. I wasn’t even five years older than she was. “I’ve seen him. He wasn’t looking for me.”

“I assure you, he was.” Most of the time when Carly spoke, it was with confidence, and this didn’t seem like the kind of thing she would joke about.

I’d known Joystick was spending a lot of time with Diego and Raul in Italy. Supposedly he clicked with them immediately when he met them. After the time I’d spent with Joystick, it was easy to believe he made most of his friends by sheer force of will and existence.

Curiosity won out and I had to know, “why do you think he was looking for me?”

“Because of the way he talked about you while he was here.
