Evelina

He’s HOT. Like, seriously hot. What the hell, Naomi???

I scramble out of bed, throwing on shorts and a hoodie as my phone continues to blow up. This time, it’s a non-group text from Vaughn.

Vaughn

You know, your problems in rehearsal makes sense now. I’m surprised you can even walk after getting dicked-down by THAT dude.

Vaughn

My opinion stands that he’s a psycho prick. But that motherfucker’s got big dick energy for daaaays.

Vaughn

Do you need ice packs? A chiropractor? A priest?

Me

WTF dude

Me

Why is everyone texting me about this?!?

Vaughn

Fuck. Sorry, baby girl. Tabloids caught you outside the club last night and it started making the rounds this morning.

He sends me a link to theNew York Globe, and when the headline fills my screen, my hand clamps over my mouth and my stomach drops.

Holy fucking shit.
