What will it be today?
My stomach twisted, but this time no bile rose.
You can do it.
I switched into a sprinting mode and traveled up the hill faster than I’d ever done before. Conversation ceased between Vivian and I as we both mentally pushed ourselves to make it to the top without stopping. A rush of wind smashed against my skin. Pain ripped through my thighs. I tightened my hands into fists and concentrated on just the steps ahead of me.
Fuck me! Fuck me!
If I looked at the top I would collapse in defeat, so I focused on the ground in front of me.
You can do it!
Once I approached the top of the hill, I screamed like a mad woman. Onlookers tossed me awkward stares. A few of them laughed. It was only a hill, after all, and not some huge hiking mountain. Panting, I placed my hands on my hips and marched around so my legs wouldn’t cramp. Vivian arrived minutes later and offered a weak hoot.
“It’s about time. I thought I was going to have to come down there and carry you up.” I bent over and stretched my legs. “You ran at the speed of a turtle.”
“It must have been all that huge cock last night.”
“Oh god. Stop!” I gripped my stomach. “You’re so cruel. I wish you had a brother so I could sleep with him and take out my revenge on you. I’ll have to find a hot cousin of yours.”
“Fat chance. All of my cousins are ugly.”
“We’ll see about that.” I lowered myself to the ground. The grass tickled my legs. “I’m going to your next family reunion.”
Bob Marley’s tune “Three Little Birds” filled the air.
Vivian’s phone.
She wrenched it out of her bra. Like me, she kept her belongings in a Ziploc bag and had stuffed it in her sports bra.
“Damn it. That’s Noc.” She stuffed the bag back into her bra. “Did he ask about me last night when you went to Drunken Lyrics?”
“Umm . . . no. I didn’t see him.” I avoided her weird expression and scooted away. Suddenly, I really needed to stretch my legs some more.
“Did he perform?” she asked.
“I don’t know. I went there, but I ended up leaving.”
She furrowed her eyebrows. “You’re acting real weird right now. What happened?”
“You wouldn’t believe me if I told you.” I touched my toes and looked at my knees.
“Try me.”
“I went to the Lan–”
Vivian shrieked. “No way! That place is like a hundred dollars each dish. You can totally have a five hundred dollar bill at the end of the night. Was your sexy cooking hottie Gabe there?”
“Yes.” I sighed. “He cooked for us.”
“Us?” She raised her arms over her head.
“Chase was with me.”
She ended her stretching as her mouth dropped open. “You’re right. I don’t believe you. Chase fucking Stone? No way.”
“That’s not even the craziest part of last night.”
