“Yes. A hundred times, yes. Thank you.” I say, releasing him. He smiles at me and sits on his bunk.

“I think we should write a song together. I think our voices would sound great together.” He suggests.

“Yes!” I beam. “I think so, too.”

“You light up when it comes to music.”

“It’s the only thing I know I’m good at.”

“I bet you are good at other things too.”

“Like?”

“Sex.” His lips tug up into a smirk. “I bet, given the right tools, you are a fucking goddess in the sack.”

“Doubtful.” I shrug. “I don’t think I’ve ever had a boyfriend who didn’t cheat on me.”

“That’s because they are assholes, not because you’re bad in bed.”

“Who knows.” I raise my palms to the ceiling and shrug.

“I’m not bad in bed, and I’ve been cheated on.”

“Some girls are just bitches.”

“And some guys are just assholes.”

He wasn’t wrong. I have been with some real assholes throughout my life. I remember this one guy who got mad because I wouldn’t let him stick it in my ass.

“You ever done anal?”

He coughs. “What?”

“Have you ever fucked a girl in the ass?” I repeat, trying not to blush but failing.

“Um. Where did that come from?”

“A guy once punched a hole in my dressing room wall because I wouldn’t let him stick it in my ass.”

“Jesus, Abbey.” He rubs the bridge of his nose. “You really need to find better guys to be with.”

“So, have you?”

“Yes, but it was consensual.”

“I’ve only ever taken the tip.”

“Okay.” He says. “Let’s change subjects.”

“He was mad because I wouldn’t take it.”

“He wouldn’t go down on you, so fuck him.”

“I did, just not anally.” I laugh.

He laughs, too. “Has any guy ever gotten you close?”

“Honestly? Yeah, but they normally don’t last long, and I guess I take a while to get off.”
