Too juicy to pass up. Also I’m having a lazy nothing day and haven’t gotten off the couch yet
Helped Luke S.-B. ask the girl YOU had a crush on to prom with One Direction lyrics, next question
Yael
Oh my God I’d actually almost forgotten about that
LOML <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
I am WAITING
Yael
It does. He came home with me after book club on Thursday and just left an hour ago
LOML <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
And????
Yael shivers with a memory: Ravi’s voice scraping against the shell of her ear as he shifted her from all fours onto his lap, still inside her.Remember when weed was legalized and we got super high over winter break and I was petting your furry blanket and I told you I thought feeling this good might be proof of God, she types.
LOML <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Also stop feeling guilty right this instant
Yael
I’m trying. I think I like him more than I should
LOML <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
How much more?
Yael
It’s manageable
I think
LOML <3 <3 <3 <3 <3
Okay well. I trust you’ll call me if it isn’t. I’m gonna force myself to leave the house now love youuuu
She writes backlove you tooand tosses her phone onto the couch cushion beside her before curling herself farther into her corner. Yael has plenty to do around the house and a podcast to record before she’ll next see Ravi. If it’s not manageable now, it will be by then.
RAVI MAKES IThome just long enough before Suresh and Mia to shower the sex off himself and start a load of laundry. Any more time alone and he’d probably have sent a text that just saidYael?for confirmation he doesn’t really need, even though that might be the worst possible way to do it.
He hears the car pull into the driveway and grabs the nearest thing he has to read, just so he has something to pretend to be doing. Of course, it’s a copy ofThe Tech Review, which Suresh always has lying around and Ravi has never once touched. He couldn’t look less casual if he tried.
The door unlocks, and Mia comes barreling through, Suresh behind her, draped in duffel bags. “Dada!” she shrieks, catapulting herself onto his lap.
“Hi, Mia,” he says. “I missed you.”
“I have to potty and I’m hungry,” she says.
“Why don’t you go to the bathroom, and I’ll get you a snack?”
