Nina starts laughing. “Did she just get her ass slapped?”

Josh moves her out of the way and beams at me through the camera. “Is your mom fucking again?”

I hold my phone up close to the wall.

Bonk, bonk, bonk.

“Harder!”

Smack!

“Aaah, you’re so bad!”

Josh is smiling when I look back at the screen.

“Mind if I fuck your mom?”

Nina pushes him off the couch, and he falls dramatically on his side. “Friend code, dude. We don’t fuck each other’s parents.”

“But she’s hot!”

I roll my eyes. She used to be beautiful, but the alcohol and the drugs show their toll these days.

“Fuck her if you want, but I’ll fuck your dad if you do!”

Nina’s face lights up. “Yes! For a beat-up old dad, he’s not bad looking.”

“He’s a drunk!” Josh points out.

“Fuck! Fuck! That’s it. Right there!”

“So is my mom.”

Amused, Nina shakes her head. “This conversation is weird.”

“Can I please go now so I can drown out my mom’s impending orgasm with heavy metal or something equally trashy?”

“You like that?” A male voice grunts before a series of slaps ring out.

“Jesus fuck!” I whisper, mortified.

“Are you coming to the warehouse?” Nina asks.

“Not tonight. I’m beat!”

Josh gives me a look. “You would rather stay in the house and listen to your mom get her pussy pounded than hang out with us?”

“Josh!” Nina laughs.

“What?” He looks confused. “It’s the truth, isn’t it?”

I collect my bag off the floor. “Fine. I’m on my way.”

“What are you doing?” I ask Mom the following morning when I find her digging through my bag in the kitchen. She must have been in my bedroom while I was asleep.

Her hands shake. “I need a hit, sweetie. I know you have more money.”
