Geez, I'm a situation."So something simpler?" I bit my lip. "Oh, what about a bar?"
"Yeah. Much better. And be cool about it, Keira. Don't do that thing you always do."
"What thing?"
"That thing where you don't stop talking. And you keep saying weirder and weirder stuff until someone stops you. Like what you literally just did a second ago with that awful plan."
Right. That thing.Why did everyone always bring that up to me all the time? Was I really that awkward? I rolled my eyes at myself.Of course I am."I don't do that."
"I'm not even going to try to argue with you about it...because it'll make you do it again."
I laughed. "Fine, maybe I talk too much sometimes."
He laughed. "Only sometimes."
"Thanks for your help, Jim."
"Should I tell Emily you called?"
"Don't bother. Have a good night!"
"You too, Keira."
I hung up the phone. That was what had been bothering me all afternoon. I was just acting super cool. And wearing sweatpants. I needed to step it up. I quickly stripped and wrapped a towel around myself. It was a little shorter than I had expected, but the more skin I showed, the better. Before I could chicken out, I went out of my room and knocked on Rory's door.
"Hey, Keira," he said and put his hand on the doorframe.
How did he always look so sexy? It took me a second to remember what I wanted to say. "Do you have my stuff from the other night?"
"Your stuff?" He raised his left eyebrow.
"My bra and thong."
"I'm sure I do somewhere."
I followed him into his room and sat down on his bed. The sheets smelled like him. I took a deep breath of the alluring smell.
"Are these yours?" he asked and held up a pair of panties I had never seen in my life.
Asshole."Nope, try again."
"I'm just messing with you." He grabbed something off the counter. "I was gonna give them back to you, I just wanted to do it when you weren't around." He handed me my underwear.
"Why?"
"It's a little awkward." He sat down next to me on his bed.
"Not really."
He scratched the back of his neck.
"We're both adults, Rory. It was just sex, after all."
"Right. What are you doing tonight?"
I held up the bra. "I'm going out, and I needed this because it's my nicest bra."
He laughed. "It is really nice."
