Page 35 of That First Night
“I’m serious, Pey. He’s paying you an ungodly amount to watch his son and isn’t charging you to live like a fucking queen.” She throws her hands in the air. “It doesn’t matter what you do, he’s not going to let you go or fire you if you decide to ride his dick like a porn star.”
I can’t help but shake my head at the shit that comes out of her mouth.
“What?!” She throws her hands in the air. “From what you said, it sounds like he’s trying to have some restraint. I think it’s your job to try and break that restraint. He fucking wants you, Pey. Make Mr. Daddy work for it a little bit.”
“I don’t know, Ave.”
“I’m not fucking saying commit to a relationship with the guy, but a woman has needs, Peyton. You literally live with a man who has the tools below the belt to fuck you six ways to Tuesday.”
“Do you only ever think about sex, Avery?” I laugh.
“Just on every day that ends in Y,” she says with a shrug.
“Anyway,” I draw out. “What do you guys think I should do?”
“Break him,” Avery says at the same time Kali says, “talk to him.”
“I think you need to talk to him and just see where it goes,” Kali says, “and if he makes a move, let it happen, Pey.”
“And if he fucking tells you to walk away again, you stay planted right where you are like you have cement blocks tied around your ankles.” Avery laughs.
“And then,” Kali adds. “You fuck him six ways to Sunday.”
I sigh and run my hands down my face, staying silent because I have nothing to say to that. I want to feel him close to me again and have his hands all over me. The way my body reacts to him when he’s around feels like nothing I have ever felt around anyone else.
I push the thought out of my head and glance down at my phone to look at the time and see a text message from Thomas.
Hey, Peyton. I just wanted to let you know I won’t be home until late tonight.
This is weird. Why is he texting me when I’m off to tell me when he’s going to be home? Instantly I feel nerves swarm my belly and the worst thought crosses my mind,is he going out with a lady friend tonight? It is Saturday night after all.
“What is it?” Kali says, as she notices my reaction as I stare at my phone.
“Thomas just texted me he won’t be home until late tonight…” I pause. “He’s never done that before.”
“Oh OH!” Avery beams. “This is your chance to really break that tension between you.”
“What do I say back? What if he’s telling me this because he’s going out with a woman tonight?”
“Tell him you’re having a girls' night at the penthouse,” Kali insists.
“But I’m not having a girls' night.”
“You are now,” Avery chuckles. “Guys get so hot when they think about girls’ nights and what we do.”
I give her a side eye because I don’t understand that.
“Listen, I don’t understand it either,” Avery says. “I think they think we get naked, talk about sex and have pillow fights or some shit.”
The three of us burst out laughing because that is exactly what Avery does. I swear she would be a nudist if it was socially acceptable.
Picking up my phone, I decide to write him back instead of avoiding him. I am done with this awkward bullshit between us.
Okay, no problem.
Do you mind if Kali and Avery come over for a girls’ night?
Ok.
