“What’s the big deal?” I heard Noc and her all the time.
Usually, pathetic groans from Noc drifted out of her room. Then the bed squeaked at a quick rhythm, and finally Noc’s snoring filled the apartment soon after.
Last night, they had been adventurous. I didn’t know what got into Noc, but he was tearing it up and taking no prisoners. It was so noisy I finally resorted to plugging my ears with my headphones and listening to classical music until I fell asleep.
Suddenly, Vivian’s bedroom door opened.
My brother stepped out in only his boxer briefs. “Morning, Sis.”
“Oh. My. God!” I buried my face in my pillow. “You both had sex? That was you and Vivian last night? Not Noc?”
Now I understood Vivian’s crazy reaction.
I’m traumatized.
I’d heard it all, the entire procession of passion—her screams, his grunting, the bed’s head board slamming into the wall, and moaning from them both.
Eww.
And they never stopped.
All night long it went on, over and over.
I’m going to throw up.
I’d been shocked because usually Vivian and Noc humped for a few minutes and then they both fell asleep.
The ridiculousness of this month will never cease.
“We didn’t know you were here,” Vivian called from the kitchen.
“Wait a minute, what about Noc?” I sat up on the couch.
The sound of the blender’s buzzing returned.
“What about Noc? Who even cares?” Troy slumped down next to me on the couch. “Why are you hung over, Jazz?”
“How did you know I was hung over?”
Troy pointed to everything on the coffee table—potato chips, Advil, Diet Sprite, boxes of tissue, and a just-in-case-I-throw-up bucket. I punched Troy on the chest. “Why would you have sex with Vivian? It makes everything difficult.”
“She’s sexy and I hadn’t been with a woman in four years.” He rubbed his bald head. “What did you expect?”
“I figured you would find someone else to do that with.” I dove my hand into the bag of chips, grabbed a handful, and stuffed myself. My mouth loaded with crispy and salty potato heaven.
What is it about potato chips that makes everything okay?
I looked down at the bag.
Troy leaned my way. “You think sleeping with Viv was a bad idea?”
“Of course. Do you know how awkward it’s going to be around the house now?” I placed my bag of chips on the side opposite him so he wouldn’t take them from me. “Not to mention she’s with somebody. A guy who visits our place all the freaking time.”
“It’ll be no big deal.” Troy shrugged.
“Sure it won’t,” I muttered.
“What’s wrong with you? It’s not the end of the world.” Troy took the remote off my lap. “And what in god’s name are you watching, Sis? This movie looks stupid.”
