Heidi makes eye contact with me and I realize that I’ve roamed away from my spot on the wall again. She slowly raises her charcoal pencil and points it at her ear, her way of silently asking me if I can hear every word they’re saying.
I look at my spot again.
Oh, yes.
I can.
CHAPTER 15
HEIDI
I put my blue flannel shirt on over the white bikini top and instantly feel better. Sure, Jenna said I had to wear a two-piece, but she said nothing about me not being able to cover up. She said nothing about the bottom portion not being a pair of denim shorts, either.
Relationships are all about compromise and not accidentally flashing my big brother and all of his friends is a hill I’ll gladly die on.
And let’s not forget Drew. As if we ever could.
My bedroom door bursts open, and Jenna presents herself in her new swimwear.
“What do you think?” she asks, striking a pose.
I look down her body, nodding at the hot pink bikini that covers... just about all it legally has to.
“Nailed it,” I say.
“Oh, relax,” she says. “I’m bringing a cover-up. This is just for the possibility of taking a swim with one of your brother’s hot friends.”
“Hey, you do you.”
“And you...” She looks me up and down as she lounges on the edge of my bed. “You are definitely pulling it off.”
“Pulling what off?”
She snorts. “Oh, puh-leaze.”
I glance at my outfit. “What?”
“That oh-so-innocent, charmingly coy, girl-next-door thing radiating from your lady parts right now.”
“What are you talking about?”
She pouts her bottom lip and bats her thick eyelashes. “Oh, no, Drew,” she mocks. “We can’t! I’d never, ever, ever do anything to upset my big brother.”
I roll my eyes. “Okay.”
“I’m just a pretty, little virgin.” She sticks a finger in her mouth. “I don’t know nothing about men!”
“Jenna.”
She giggles. “You want to put it where?”
“Are you finished?”
Jenna drops the act and laughs. “By tomorrow morning, you’ll have him eating out of your palm like a loyal puppy. I’m not judging. In fact, I respect you more for it.”
“That’s not what I’m doing,” I say. “I’m only going to this party because Seth and I want to start fresh. I probably won’t even say a word to Drew.”
“Heidi, a woman can look at a man, ask him upstairs, and have his pants off without ever muttering a single word. At that point, it’s recommended to provide some instruction. A clit doesn’t find itself, unfortunately.”
