"Trust me. I sleep with lots of random women." She waved her hand at my phone. "Let's go."
"You're really pushy tonight," I said, leaning away from her and curling up in the pillows. "Quit smothering me."
Alex laughed and patted my knee. "Never."
Maybe when you're moved out here officially, we can grab a coffee or something. I sent my message off to Samirah, and held my breath while awaiting her reply.
How does Thursday work for you?
This Thursday?
Yes. Starbucks by UW 6pm?
Okay.
See you then.
"What'd you say?" asked Alex when I set my phone down.
"We're meeting for coffee on Thursday."
"Good for you, Rosie." Alex yawned and stretched out on the sofa. "You deserve to be happy."
"I'm not sure what happy means. Are you?" I folded my hands over my stomach while I watched her stare at the next episode when it began playing.
"Sometimes I think I do. Not always. Happiness is like a mood. It changes."
"I get that. I'm gonna go to bed. Wake me if you make breakfast?" I stood up and tossed my blanket on top of her head.
"You know I will. Night."
"Don't masturbate on my sofa. Night."
I closed the door to my room while Alex's laughter echoed behind me.
