Chapter Thirty

Emmy waved herself with a magazine.

“You had movie sex with Felix Hunter,” she said breathlessly.

I laughed and nudged her. “Stop saying that. It wasn’t sex. There wasn’t any penetration or oral activity.”

“But you were pelvis to pelvis in a bed half naked with his hands on you and his tongue in your mouth. That’s pretty damn close if you ask me. Just let me have the illusion in my head.”

“The fact that you want to imagine me banging Felix is a little disturbing.”

“I don’t care,” she said dreamily. “I can’t wait for you to move in with him.”

“I’m not moving in with him,” I said. “We’ll be like neighbors.”

“Whatever. The chances of ‘accidentally’ finding him naked are high.”

I laughed. “Please, when you visit me, don’t stalk my landlord.”

“I make you no promises,” she grinned.

We had been lying in her bed, reading magazines, eating junk food, and chatting for hours. I was going to have to work my ass off to lose all of the calories I was ingesting with Emmy, but it would be worth it. She was worth the calories and the days of starvation that would most likely follow.

“How did Emmet end up in California?” she asked a little while later.

“I asked him to join us,” I said with disinterest. I pretended an article in Elle was beyond interesting, but truly I had no idea what I was reading.

“Why? When you could have asked me? The better, hotter sibling.”

“You had school and he didn’t,” I told her, though that wasn’t really an explanation at all.

Emmet had said that eventually Emmy and the rest of the family would have to deal with our relationship, but I honestly didn’t want to have to deal with them trying to deal with our relationship with everything I had lying before me. In addition to moving forward with my career, my mother’s death was inevitable, and I wasn’t sure where my life would go after that, if I would have to fight for my independence or if I would be allowed to stand on my own.

As if to solidify my decision to remain quiet about it, Emmy followed up with “Whatever. As long as you’re not screwing our brother like the tabloids think.” She shuddered in disgust.

“Wouldn’t be the worst choice,” I heard myself mutter and then bit the inside of my cheek to shut myself up.

“No,” she said and then paused thoughtfully. “It wouldn’t be the worst choice, but ew.”

“How are Mayson and Tack?” I asked, ready to shut that subject down.

Emmy sat up and I sat up with her. I crossed my legs and dropped the magazine on the bed between us and looked at Em. The topic clearly pained her, but she was trying to play it cool.

“Mayson walked out of rehab. She’s dodging her parents and the police, on the run with that stupid asshole,” she said, staring down at her hands. Right before Felix’s party, Emmy had called me, crying and terribly upset. Mayson had gone into a drug fueled rage and beat the crap out of her own mother.
