“yup, Piper’s jelly AF”
“back off piper hes mine”
“look at big rig’s face LMAO”
“You really wanna do kill stories?” I asked, taunting her. “Because hey, two can play this game. We can trade kill stories all day long.”
She laughed. “Is that supposed to be a threat? You don’t have any kill stories about me. I don’t sleep around—you should know that better than anyone.”
“Hold up. You don’t do one night stands, no, but you still date guys. So don’t act like I’ve never heardyouhaving sex.”
She gasped indignantly. “Jax! You havenot!”
“Yes, I have. Remember what’s-his-name? The used car salesman?”
She chortled. “You must be thinking of some other girl because I’veneverdated a used car salesman.”
“Yeah, you did. That tall, nerdy, skinny guy that you dated for a minute back in Denver. What was his name? The hipster guy.”
“Wait, are you talking aboutRick?”
“Yeah, that’s it. Rick.”
“Rick didn’t sell used cars, he was a hedge fund manager. Bit of a difference there, big guy. And you didnothear us having sex, either.”
“Did too,” I insisted.
She folded her arms and turned up her nose. “No, you did not.”
“Did too.” I grinned. “To be fair, thatwasthe one and only time I heard bedroom activities from your side of the house. Luckily for me.”
“Luckily for you, huh? Is that why you scared awayallthe other guys I might’ve liked? So you wouldn’t have to hear us having sex?”
“Pft.I’m a nice guy. If someone’s scared of me, he’s not worth your time.”
“Whywouldn’tthey be scared of you? You’re six-foot-five and a pro athlete. And if they search your name, they’ll see video after video of you crushing and fighting guys on the ice. And let’s face it, you weren’t exactly the world’s most polite and welcoming host to the few guys I’ve brought over.”
“I’m six-foot-six, actually.”
“Even more intimidating, then! Thanks for proving my point.”
“Mypoint is, those guys were lame if I scared them off that easily. You can do better. You need a real man. One who can actually please you. AKA, not Rick, who couldn’t please you.”
“Yeah, whatever,” she grumbled. “You still didn’t hear us. So that’s not a nice thing to say about somebody you don’t know.”
“Okay, Pipes,” I said with a sigh. “I didn’t wanna do this, but you’ve left me no other choice.”
To prove I’d heard them having sex, I imitated Rick’s ape-like grunting.
She guiltily hid her face in her hands. “Oh my God.”
The chat rolled faster than ever:
“WTF lol he’s just as jealous as she is!”
“damn y’all need to bone already”
“THIS HAS TO BE A JOKE”
