“I don’t have to want them to think they are cute. Andthatwas cute. Next, you’re going to tell me he also does work with animal shelters and the cute puppies and kittens.”

She rolls her lips together.

“No! Stop it, he does not.”

“What do you want from me?” She throws her arms up. “He’s a good guy, that’s why I’ve wanted you guys together. You can’t get mad at me about that.”

I groan, throwing myself against the back of the couch. “I don’t want to have any more reason to want to jump him.”

“Then why haven’t you? Is it because of that bitch we saw at the game?”

“Partly, yeah.”

“Is he not over her?”

“Oh, he is. He very much is. It’s just…he….there’s…” I sigh. “He isn’t someone who flings his dick around, sticking it in everyone. He’s more of a commitment type guy but is also scared about that.”

“So, you both are a mess then?” she jokes.

“I’m a pretty mess, though,” I smile widely at her.

“What are you going to do? Do you think you’d do commitment for him if that’s what he wanted?”

My face scrunches, my gut reaction is to shoo away any thought of anything serious, but when I really take a second, I don’t immediately cower at the thought of it with him.

Huh. That’s new.

“I don’t know. Show me him with some cute puppies, then ask me.”

Chandler chuckles, shaking her head at me as the game starts. I can’t stop thinking about Charlie and my eyes follow him whenever he’s on the screen. I don’t like how he’s making my insides feel all gooey and shit. I don’t know what I want because I’ve never stuck around with a guy more than a couple nights because that’s all I’ve ever wanted. Just sex. Past that, the most interactions I have are with my cam regulars.

Like Charles.

Who turned out to beCharlie.

I really am a fucking mess.

My attention is drawn back to the game when one of the announcers says, “The puck is double teamed by Collee and McQuaid.”

Chandler giggles, “I want to be double teamed by Collee and McQuaid.”

I roll my eyes over to her, “You have. Probably pretty recently.”

She gives me a small smile that says it all. I groan, realizing how long it’s been since I’ve had real sex. Like full blown fucking and not the teasing that Charlie and I are doing. Not that I necessarily mind it, obviously it’s fun and we get off, but I would like more.

That gives me an idea for something to do with him. A game. He likes games with me. At least he has in the past withLacey.Maybe something like that could loosen him up and take him out of his head a bit. Even if it doesn’t work fully, I think it could get somewhere.

And I know just what to do.

“Frosting!” I yell at the TV when the puck slides down the rink and a whistle is blown.

“Oh my God, Audrey, it’sicing.”

“I know, I just like to call it frosting.”

The Dragons wontheir game last night so I’m hoping Charlie comes back in a good mood today. I spent my morning getting some special things to surprise him with for our game. If he wants to play, that is.

I’m dressed in the new lingerie set I was able to find in his favorite color. Which was not an easy task. Apparently yellow isn’t a popular sexy color. Which I understand, but when I slidon the lace bra, underwear, and garter, I had to appreciate how good it looked. Especially in contrast with my dark hair.
