She pointed at me. “You had sex today, you lying little whore!”
I laughed again. “What?”
“How did I not notice? Your lips are swollen!”
Touching my lips with my fingers, I let out a nervous laugh. “They are not!”
“Okay, they’re not, but they could be!”
Harper slowly shook her head. “Wait, I thought you said you didn’t sleep with Liam at his place last night.”
“I didn’t.”
Cadie leaned in and stared at me. “Oh my God. You had sex. When?”
Brystol dropped her pizza onto her plate. “You couldn’t have! When you talked to me, you were getting ready for work and…”
All three of them screamed.
“How could you not have told us you and Liam slept together?” Brystol shouted.
“When did you and Liam have sex?” Cadie practically screamed.
I hit both of them on the arm. “Would the two of you please be quiet!”
“Who is going to hear us?” Harper asked on a laugh.
Before my mind could catch up with my brain, I said, “Lou heard me and Liam this morning.”
Brystol gasped while Harper cried out, “What!”
I closed my eyes and shook my head before opening them to see all three of them sitting on the coffee table, looking at me with wide, toothy grins.
“This is huge!” Harper said as Brystol nodded her head.
Cadie giggled like a preteen learning about sex for the first time. “So huge! Give the details!”
Harper jumped up. “We need wine!”
“Wine? It’s only one in the afternoon!” I said as Brystol made her way over to the small cart where I had the hard liquor.
“Fuck wine, we need a few shots!”
Cadie laughed as she kicked her feet. She was too happy about this, and I couldn’t help but laugh.
“Who wants wine and who wants a shot?” Brystol asked.
“Why not have both?” Harper stated.
“Well, I can’t have too much because I’m breastfeeding, but I did pump in anticipation of what we might find out this afternoon.”
I stared at her as she poured each of us a glass of wine and one shot.
Smiling, Brystol held her glass up. “To Aurora and Liam finally admitting they like one another!”
We all clinked glasses, and I took a sip of my wine and set it down on the coffee table. Brystol reached for her shot and downed it.
Harper huffed. “Bry, the shot was for after Aurora told us about the sex!”
