âchapter eighteen
TREVOR BALKS AT the mere suggestion, his laugh echoing into the cold night air in a plume of vapor. âI was just kidding about the breakfast metaphor.â
âNo. You make a good point.â I retrieve my towel with the renewed energy of a bad bitch on a mission. âI donât switch it up enough. Iâve never had a one-night stand before. Iâve never even touched the penis of a dude whose middle name I donât know. But I hear itâs liberating.â
He follows me out of the hot tub. âIt is . . . But you donât like new things. You said yourself you hate the idea of casual sex.â
âI mean, Iâve never actually tried it. How can I proclaim to dislike something Iâve never tried?â
âBut what about your exes? You still have Daniel. What if heâs the One?â
âDaniel is a long-term play. Iâm still trying to find a way to track him down,â I say with a dismissive eye roll. As of yet, Daniel is entirely unsearchable online (not even a deceased grandparentâs obituary to be found). Iâve actually contemplated draining my meager savings to hire a private investigator. âI need something more immediate.â
âI guessââ
âWeâre going on the prowl tonight. Youâre my wingman.â The badass, empowering beginning of âWAPâ plays in my mind as I toss my towel over my shoulders like a cape.
He groans, shivering as he pats himself dry with his own towel. âAs in going out? Why donât you just use a hookup app like a normal human?â
âBecause. I tried it and it wasnât for me.â
âDo I even get a say in this?â Trevor asks.
âNo,â I call over my shoulder as I head inside. âBut itâll be worth your while. Iâll do all the cleaning for the next two weeks.â
âIâve heard that before,â he groans.
Turns out, plotting your wardrobe and makeup choices is ten times harder when you plan to end the night getting hot and heavy with a stranger instead of a pint of Ben & Jerryâs. The half hour spent in the shower carefully shaving and exfoliating better be worth it.
By the time I finally emerge from my room, club-ready, Trevor is still lying on the couch where I left him, his eyes closed like heâs dreading impending doom but is willing to give in. At the creak of the floor under my footsteps, he cracks a lid.
Mouth agape, he gives me a judgy once-over, taking in my trusty little black dressâthe only college-era dress that still looks remotely flattering. Itâs short, many fingers above the knees, with a daringly low scoop back that prevents me from wearing a real bra. His eyes linger over my bare legs, to which I generously applied a vanilla shimmer cream.
âYou look . . . uh, nice,â he says, his tone obligatory as he fights to summon the words, like someone complimenting their grannyâs new living room lamp. This only serves to underscore the importance of this mission: to stop having errant sexual thoughts about Trevor. And, of course, sexual liberation and all that jazz.
