Chapter Twenty

After standing in hot water for a few minutes, Finn turned the knob to cool. She was completely off balance and needed something to jolt her back to normal. The cold water was a welcomed shock. She took two, three deep breaths and then switched the warm water back on.

Wasn’t she the player in this scenario? How had she let Iris turn the tables on her so quickly? She hadn’t even seen it coming. She was going to have to up her game or be on her guard or some other sports metaphor she couldn’t think of at the moment. She was tired and practically in a pizza coma. Yeah, that’s it. She blamed the extra cheese for slowing down her brain.

She pulled on a T-shirt and boxers and was still towel drying her hair when she leaned around the doorframe to see what Iris was doing. Only one lamp in the room was on and it was low-wattage, which made the glow from the TV seem bright. It cast a blue highlight along the curve of Iris’s shapely legs as she casually lounged on the bed. Iris was completely engrossed in a rerun of Friends and twirling her hair around her finger.

Was the laugh track mocking Finn? Go ahead, laugh. The joke’s on me.

Finn covered her face with the towel and took a deep breath. This was either going to end up being the greatest week of her life or the worst. It was too soon to tell.

She hung the towel on the back of the door, giving herself a pep talk.

You’ve got this. There’s a totally hot woman sleeping in the same room with you. And she just told you she’s into women. So what? You’ve been with beautiful women before. You know what women like. Be cool. Ice cool.

Finn shuffled out of the bathroom, raking her fingers through her damp hair. She concentrated on looking at the TV rather than Iris. She wants you to notice her legs. Don’t.

Finn didn’t want to be such an easy mark. If something did happen between them and it was all on Iris’s terms, then Finn would be in serious trouble. She needed to adjust the balance of power back in her favor.

Iris laughed and Finn glanced over, but not fast enough for Iris not to make eye contact. Busted.

They watched back-to-back episodes of Friends and then the beginning of some other nineties movie that Finn had seen part of before. She was bored and despite concerted effort not to be, was completely distracted by the curvaceous body lounging on the neighboring bed. Finn calculated that there was probably three feet of open air between them, maybe four, and still, the proximity of Iris made her skin warm.

At some point, they agreed to turn the TV off and go to sleep. But Finn wasn’t really sleepy, her entire system was idling fast. She lay on her back staring up at the ceiling. Every rustling sound from the other side of the room caught her attention.
