Page 16 of The Moment We Know

“Hmm,” she murmured against his mouth, as one of her nipples was lightly pinched, sending a current of Yes, please! down south to her clit. “This is definitely something ‘good’. And worth all the aggravation you gave me.”

“Yeah. About that …”

“What?”

“I’ve actually heard “Pac-Man Fever”.”

It took a second for his words to sink in. When they did, she pulled his head back so she could glare at him. “What did you just say?”

He cleared his throat. “The song “Pac-Man Fever”. I’ve heard it. Many times.”

When he tried to kiss her again like nothing was wrong, Paige stopped him, even though it was a difficult decision. “You’ve heard it? Many times?”

“Yes.”

“So when you said you’d never heard of it, you were lying?”

It seemed like a rhetorical question, but he answered anyway. “Yep. Sorry.”

“You lied to my face?”

“Like I said … sorry.”

“Crappy apology not accepted.” She glared at him again, this time with more ferocity, and wondered what else he hadn’t been truthful about. “So, what about “Lady In Red”, and the girl with the big boobs at the dance?”

David’s head was still in a death grip, which meant he couldn’t kiss her, but his hands were still very active with her breasts. “Oh, that was real and so was the boner—you were right about that. Although, I got it after we danced, when she and I spent a little time under the gym bleachers making out, while she let me feel her up. God, that was amazing.”

When he realized he was essentially feeling Paige up while telling her how amazing it’d been to feel up another girl, he quickly said, “Feeling you up is even more amazing, though. Way more amazing.”

She tilted her head at how ridiculous he sounded. “Congratulations. You really know how to spread the bullshit around. And speaking of bullshit … were you really torn about “I’m Too Sexy”?”

“I actually was. But … I would’ve given you “Abra Cadabra” if you’d pushed back on my ‘It’s so bad it’s good’ whopper, but you didn’t, so that’s on you.”

“You jerk. What about “Ice Ice Baby”?”

“I could’ve given you that one, too. I’m actually disappointed you let me get away with that. Stolen bass line? Not okay.”

“I let you get away with it because I believed you were being honest and telling the truth when you said the bass line was still cool, so the song didn’t count. My bad.”

“Yeah,” he agreed.

“You’re. The. Worst.” She tried to sound stern, but even to her own ears, she just sounded breathless.

He was lightly rubbing both of her nipples. “What? I was trying to win.”

“So was I.”

“Well, you did win, so I don’t see what the problem is.”

“The problem is that you straight-up lied to me. Which makes you a liar and a cheater.”

“I know.” Her grip on his head had loosened, so he was able to lean forward and nip at her bottom lip. “And I was feeling kind of bad about that, because of our honesty pact, so that’s why I’m coming clean, now.”

“Is there anything else you need to come clean about? “MMMBop”? “I Touch Myself”?”

“No. Those two were legit. But …” There was a long pause as he peppered quick kisses along her jaw. “Weezer’s cover of “Africa” cover isn’t that great. I did screw you on that.”

“David!” Her outrage was ruined when she laughed.
