“A very generous and valiant service on your behalf.”
“Thank you, I agree,” she says. “So, what are you going to do?”
“I don’t know, between him and Trevor, I’m kind of onshtupableguy overload right now.”
“That’s right, what happened whenDoctor Vaughnsaw you today?”
“Ohmigod! I can’t believe I forgot that part. Kat! We totally made out, he finger-fucked me, we both came in our pants, then he told me he loved me, and that he’d never stopped.”
“Whoa, okay, hang on. He finger-fucked you and thenhecame inhispants?”
“I knew you’d get stuck on that part, but yes, I gave him a partial handie through his scrubs, but nothing exciting.”
“Where were you?”
“In the exam room.”
“Naughty girl.”
“It’s not my fault. I was feeling sad and vulnerable. Plus, he can be so, I don’t know, like magnetic?”
“To you, maybe.”
“Given that I was the one there, I’m gonna say yes to that.” A slight chill runs through me, the sun having since gone down. I grab a throw off one of the chairs and wrap it around my shoulders. Then offer one to Kat so she can do the same.
“We should sit in front of the fireplace, anyway,” Kat says. “I don’t think you’ve been over since Brad and E finished it.” E being Ethan, Brad’s best friend and fire fighter partner. A guy who liked me once upon a time, but who I turned down when Trevor came back to town. The first time.
“I haven’t,” I confirm. We move over to the far corner of her yard. Her balcony is more like a combination yard and deck. The house is set back a bit from the edge of the cliff, and so in addition to her front yard, she has some yard to the west and on the north and south sides of the house. Then the deck expands into the balcony overhang on stilts. There are public stairs a few houses to the north that give her neighborhood access to the beach below, otherwise the area is really private. And, because her plot jets out a bit, her house feels like its floating on air.
“What do you think about it? Wait, finish telling me about Trevor first.”
“Oh yeah, okay. Well, he came into the room, told me about Sasha’s x-rays, and then he moved in to hug me. Next thing I know I’m kissing him, and then his fingers are inside me.”
“And they say romance is dead.”
This time I shrug my shoulders.
“You okay?” she asks. I nod, giving her a half smile.
“Orgasms make most things okay.”
“How’d you leave things?”
“We were originally supposed to have lunch. Then Sasha happened, and the finger fucking, and after that he got called away to an emergency. Hadn’t even changed his pants,” I snicker.
“I wish I could have seen that,” she says.
“I know, you don’t like him,” I say.
“It’s not that I don’t like him, it’s just that I don’t like him.”
“Thanks for clearing that up.”
“I don’t know. I guess, I just don’t like him for you, Lex. He’s not your guy.”
“How do you know?”
She thinks for a minute. “You know how we both knew that Bauer is Remi’s guy?” I nod. “Well,” she continues, “that’s how I know Trevor isn’t your guy.”
