“You’ll be getting it on with him as much as I will, and he’ll be a lot to take.”
Tiff looks right at him, eyes digging.
“And how will you feel watching Ella getting fucked by another guy?”
He pauses for just a moment. “We’ll know soon enough, won’t we?”
We’re a few days away from the proposal, but I’m already feeling it. Josh is smiling, but there’s a little something under the surface. A bizarre electric undercurrent about this proposal I can’t fathom.
Something intense looming.
Really fucking intense.
I just wish things would go back to normal. Hopefully they will after Josh and I have had a crazy good night and he sees I’m a hundred times more into him than I will ever be with a stranger, and as for Tiff… I ask Josh about her when we’re done with breakfast and back up to our place.
“Do you think she’ll meet anyone soon?”
He puts the coffee machine on. “She meets people all the time. Plenty of opportunities, not just at work, either. In general.”
“I mean, do you think she’ll fall for anyone? Properly fall for them.”
“That’s an entirely different question.” He makes us a drink and hands mine over. “Like you said at hers, we all have our issues.”
“Did something happen to her? She’s never got over her ex, I know that, and I’ve heard the passing statements, but there was more to it, wasn’t there? There’s more going on.”
He takes a sip of his coffee before he answers.
“Tiff’s secrets are hers to tell, not mine.”
I admire his loyalty. I reach out to take his hand.
“I hope that one day she trusts me enough to tell me herself.”
“I would say that’s likely. Just don’t expect to work magic when she does. You can only help people when they want to be helped. That’s what I’ve found, anyway.”
“She’s an amazing person. Such a superstar.”
“Yes, she is. In the areas she’s comfortable in.”
“At work.”
“When she’s Creamgirl, yes.”
I knew as much. I’m learning so much lately, like I’m on a weird college course of life, love, and being a hooker. I’m learning how thrilling sex can be and so easy to sink into the zone when it means nothing outside of the senses. When it’s a fantasy and you’re playing a character, with no emotional crossover.
Loving someone is a totally different thing, and for me the gulf is widening day by day, I can feel it, so for her… doing it for so long…
I know I must be doing the lip thing. I can see it in how Josh smirks.
“That’s all I’m going to say on it.” He squeezes my hand. “As I said, Tiff’s secrets are hers to tell.” He looks off to the side. “I have to call myself out on double standards, though. That’s not what I was saying last night about Carly, and I was wrong. It was absolutely her choice to keep things from me, I just wish she hadn’t.”
“I’m sure she wouldn’t have, if it wasn’t for me. She’d have probably been sending up the Josh symbol into the sky and screaming for help.”
He laughs and pulls me in for a hug. “I always fancied a Batman costume.”
“You’re built for it,” I tell him and drop a kiss on his solid jaw. “Maybe I could be Cat Woman.”
“Here kitty kitty,” he says and I’m suddenly back in the ghostly old house from my proposal.
