Page 82 of Love on the Waiver Wire

“So did he just like, grab your hair? Or did he like,grab your hair?” Mila grabs Amara’s hair and gives it a good yank, causing Amara to slap her hand away.

“Grabbed,”I confirm, making a fist and dragging it downward.

Mila’s mouth hangs open as her eyes go wide, looking to the side.

“What?”

“I don’t know how you didn’t fuck him right then and there, if I’m honest.”

“We were in public!”

“After hours!”

“There’s still cameras everywhere, Heidi.”

“Then you should have asked them for a copy to keep for your records!” Amara chimes in. “I don’t watch porn but I would have paid to watch that.”

I shoot her a questioning look.

She puts her hands up in front of her. “Look. I’d never hook up with you, you know that. But you’re hot. He’s hot. It’s just a fact. Two hot people getting freaky in an aquarium in front of the sharks?” she shrugs.

“Honestly I probably would too,” Heidi nods, and Mila hums as if confirming she would also buy my sex tape.

“Well I’ll keep that in mind. Thank you for the support,” I say with a chuckle.

“You’re fucking welcome,” Mila smacks the table, her plate rattling against it. A few people turn to stare, and I become all too aware that I’ve been talking about the possibility of me having a sex tape in the middle of our favorite brunch spot.

“And then,” I say, getting them back on topic. “we go down into this underwater viewing area and you know what he had set up?”

They shake their heads.

“He had them playing some of Taylor Swift’s most romantic songs.”

“I think you need to marry this man,” Heidi says, and I know coming from her she means it.

“I don’t know about marry but fuck definitely,” Amara nods.

“Guys I’m not having sex with him yet.”

“Why? It’s been what? Two months?” Mila asks.

“Like two and a half I think?”

“The man rented out an aquarium for you.”

I sigh. “I mean, there was one night it could have happened.”

Heidi finishes her iced coffee, swirling the ice around the bottom. “That night?”

“No, before that. He made me dinner and I just remember his knife skills were just—” My eyes roll back in my head at the memory.

“And you didn’t have sex with him right then and there?” Amara gapes.

Mila nods. “Knife skills are one of the sexiest things on a man, let me tell you.”

“I didn’t think it was that hot until I saw him cutting that onion.”

“Then why didn’t you make a move?” Heidi asks.
