Eating breakfast with Carey and Logan was almost as awkward as them discussing their sex lives in front of me. Maybe awkward is the wrong word, though it definitely fit last night. Simply put, I felt like a third wheel at times. I need to talk about Carey with Suzanne to see if I’m crazy or if I have a reason to feel uneasy.

“You never want to go shopping with me,” Suzanne says as we walk into the mall. That’s because she can literally spend all day long shopping and at some point, I get tired of it. “What’s the occasion?”

“I met one of Logan’s best friend’s last night.”

“So?”

“She spent the night.”

“Oh, so it’s a girl. Is Kayla jealous?” She raises an eyebrow at me.

“No, not really. She slept on the couch, but that was, in Logan’s words, ‘because Kayla is sleeping over.’ She normally sleeps in his bed with him, Suzanne. That’s weird, right? And he’s seen her naked. And they talk about sex with one another. They did it right in front of me. I mean, I’m no prude, but if Logan’s going to talk about sex like that, or sex with girls from his past, he could at least do it when I’m not around. I don’t know. I just felt out of place and uncomfortable around those two. Am I overreacting?”

Suzanne seems to think about it. “Yeah, I think so. Logan acted fine, right?” I nod. “Then he obviously has nothing to hide and you should trust him.”

I guess she has a point. Logan seemed at complete ease with her around.

Suzanne tugs on my arm. “Come on. Let’s shop and forget all about boy-men!”

That’s exactly what we do, too. We stuff our faces at the food court, buy things we really don’t need, but will sure look good in, and I snag some chocolate for Logan for Valentine’s Day.

“Hey, whatever happened at that party? I called you, but you didn’t answer and I’m tired of you avoiding the topic.” I’ve asked and asked and she does what she’s about to do now.

Suzanne shrugs. “Oh, it was nothing. The usual one-night stand.”

“With who?”

“A guy.”

“Suzanne! You know you’re only making something out of nothing by avoiding it. You never avoid it.”

“Maybe it’s because I want to forget about it.”

“Why?” I ask. She normally shares these things with me and she isn’t, which is why I want her to tell me more than what she is.

“Because,” she groans. “It’s nothing. It’s not like I’ve heard from him or that I plan to hear from him or that I want to hear from Axel.”

My eyes widen. “Axel? It was Axel!”

“You know him?”

“Yes! That’s who the party was for! Dax is his little brother.”

“Yeah, Dax was nice.”

Wow. How did she go from talking to some guys to sleeping with Axel and then poor Dax had to be the one to take her home?

“He’s just another boy-man, Kayla. It’s nothing and let’s forget it happened.”

“Okay.”

I still find it odd that she wants to forget it all.
