Me: Let’s just say you have my blessing to go after Austin. Turns out, older men do it better.

I figure she won’t respond until morning, but I get a ping back right away.

Dolly: Where are you?

Me: A girl doesn’t kiss and tell.

Dolly: You’re with Clive, aren’t you? You dirty, filthy girl! I love it! I expect every detail come morning.

Me: Are you going to call Austin now?

Dolly: I ran into him at the market this afternoon. He was fixing the bakery with your boy. I don’t think he knows my name so… probably not. I need a date to this wedding though or I’ll never hear the end of it. We’ll see. Tonight isn’t about me, though. You’re living for all of us right now.

Me: I kind of am.

Dolly: Kind of… you’re totally living for all of us. I’m jealous!

Me: Truthfully, I’d be jealous of me too. He’s incredible.

Dolly: I love you. I’m so happy for you. When you get home tomorrow, we need to search for my date! Maybe Clive has a hot friend.

Me: I think he does. His name is Austin.

Dolly: In my dreams. Night, girl!

Me: Night. XoXo.

My pussy is still dripping with come, and I know I’ve made a sopping mess out of the sheets, but I don’t move. I stay still, scrolling through the messages on my phone. Some from my mom, a few from my dad, a dozen more from my mom, another from Dolly, one from Cody.

Cody?

What the hell? My heart stills, sinks, and demands life support.

I click the message.

Cody: You have something going on with my dad? If you do that’s fucking desperate.

Cody: You do, don’t you? You two are shacked up right now.

My heart won’t beat. I keep reading.

Cody: The least you two could do is keep it a secret, right? Not do it right in front of me.

There’s a space in time where he stops texting for a few hours, then starts back up again.

Cody: I’m taking off, anyway. You two do you.

I’m not sure if I should respond or not, but I opt for not. Unfortunately, he must be watching the phone for the read message because three dots light up the screen right away.

Shit!

I should say something.

Me: Where are you going? We should all talk.

Cody: I guess you two have made it official now?

Me: I don’t want to come between you and your father.
