Remi nodded and looked at me.
“Don’t do it,” I said. “You have no idea…”
“Sent,” he said.
Riff jumped up and grabbed his phone.
“Shit,” he said. “I have to make a phone call. My agent. I forgot.”
Riff stormed off just in time I guess.
I wasn’t sure it mattered if his phone vibrated or not.
After all, Riff and I had been texting for a little while now.
But he wanted to be extra safe.
“Feel good about yourself?” I asked my brother.
He shrugged his shoulders. “It was fun for a second. You’re really into that stuff though? Those kinds of texts?”
“My body, my life, my choice, Remi,” I said. “I’m not in any kind of trouble, okay? I’m just having fun.”
“Sneaking around down here,” he said.
“Maybe I’m just taking a break.”
Remi shook his head. “Whatever, Fiona.”
“Yeah. Whatever.” I stood up. I showed my hands. “Do I have your permission to go pee, Remi? Or should you follow me and guard the door?”
He curled his lip and looked at the hockey game.
I walked toward the bathrooms.
As I reached for the women’s door, the men’s room door opened and Riff appeared.
“What the hell was that?” Riff asked.
I walked toward him and grabbed his shirt.
I pulled him toward me.
Just like I said I would do.
Our faces didn’t smash together this time.
This time… we kissed.
A real kiss too.
None of that lip-pecking-goodbye stuff.
Our tongues touched and played for a second.
Then I pulled away and smiled.
“Well, Riff, that was fun.”
