CHAPTER

27

Bryce, Derek, Will, Matt and Lucy played the remainder of their gig, and I watched the ease with which they all complemented each other. None of them were serious, die-hard musicians in the sense that they had to live and breathe performing; they just seemed to casually enjoy getting together and playing for a group of people. I wondered if, at any stage during the past, they’d wanted to become a professionally-signed band. My curiosity would have to be addressed later.

Now that the gig was coming to a close, I found myself starting to think about my impending conversation with Rick, the one I planned on having with him when we dropped Nate and Charli off at the house. A year of separation between the two of us was fast approaching, and I needed to discuss with him my wish to apply for a divorce. I didn’t really know how he would react to my request, and it worried me that it would ruin the good progress we had made with each other of late.

‘Ready to go?’ Bryce asked, as he slid his hand across my back, resting it on my hip.

‘No, Alexis and I need the ladies room,’ Carly insisted. Do I? I gave Carly an unsure glance, her expression enforcing that I did. Oh, okay … I do need the loo.

‘Be back in a minute. I’ll meet you at the car.’ I gave him a quick peck on the lips and followed Carly to the bathroom.

As we pushed through the door, I gave Carly my questioning stare. ‘So why the last minute toilet trip?’

‘Because I need to go,’ she answered flatly.

Okay, well I guess I’ll go too. I entered the cubicle next to her. ‘Why else?’ I probed further as I awkwardly relieved myself.

‘Because I’m still shitting bricks,’ she divulged. Not the best choice of words while in the toilet, Carls.

‘Literally or figuratively speaking, Carls? We are in the loo, remember?’

‘Figuratively, you idiot! I’m terrified of having sex with Derek, and clearly he wants it … tonight!’

‘Carls, for god’s sake just screw the man. What is wrong with you? I’ve never seen you this apprehensive about intimacy, ever!’ I flushed the toilet and made my way to the sink.

Carls followed shortly after. ‘I don’t fucking know. I hate this feeling. What … the … fuck is this feeling?’

‘I think it’s lurrrve,’ I purred, like an adolescent idiot.

She shrugged it off. ‘Pfft. It’s not love. I barely know him.’

I flicked water at her head, getting her attention. ‘You love him.’

She wiped her head and made a spitting noise at me. ‘You’re disgusting.’

‘Well, you are falling for him at least. That’s the only explanation.’

She looked at her reflection in the mirror as if she were trying to catch herself in a lie. ‘Urgh! You’re right. I think I’m falling in love with him, and I haven’t even had sex with him yet. This is insane.’

I moved to the hand dryer, raising my voice over the loud hum. ‘No, it’s not. It’s exciting and wonderful, and the first time you have sex with him is going to be great.
