“That’s why you love me.”
“What brings you over here?” I ask nonchalantly.
“Are you going to pretend that you aren’t dating the Hornets’ Catcher? The very fine, Gunnar Reynolds? The man who has been rumored to be a playboy, but until recently has been spending spend several nights with just one woman, who also looks like you and has your exact name? I mean the ladies’ man, the guy who would be linked to many chicks in one week alone, is now off the market.”
“Gee, Kim. You’re sure painting him as a harlot.”
“Well, he was until you came along. I looked him up; he was never photographed on dates with actual women-.”
“So has he been photographed with fake women?” I cut her off from her train of thought and keep a straight face.
“You know what I mean. You suck, you know that?” Kim leans back against the counter and quirks her eyebrow. “You are dating The Gun, the one and only Gunnar Reynolds.”
“You already said that.”
“I haven’t heard you confirm or deny these accusations.”
“I broke things off. We’re nothing anymore.”
“What?” Her jaw drops.
My phone buzzes on the coffee table in the other room. Kim and I eye each other as the buzzing stops. A moment later, it began again, and in slow motion, the both of us darted into the living room and dived over the couch, each landing on the cushions with our hands reached out. Kim has her hand on my phone and she slides her finger on the screen, leans forward out of my grasp and answers my phone.
“‘Ello?”
I do not hear the other side of the conversation; however, from the look on Kim’s face, I know the caller is Gunnar.
I have stopped fighting and lean back on the couch, curious. Kim looks at me, her lips parted and her eyebrow raised.
“Gunnar, I assume?”
Kim pauses.
“This is Sawyer’s friend, Kim. I think everything you just said was really good, and I’m glad that you ran it by me first.” Pause.
“Yeah, she’s sitting next to me. No, she’s not mad at you.”
Pause.
“No, she definitely likes you.”
Pause.
“I’m sure that she would love it if you came over.”
Pause.
I’m waving my hands frantically to get her attention as I shake my head.
“Okay, yeah. Nice talking to you, too.”
Pause.
“I will. Kay. Bye.” Kim hangs up, puts my phone back down on the table, and turns to smiles and me.
“What the hell just happened, Kim?”
“I can’t believe that I just talked to The Gun. I cannot believe that I am going to meet him! Eek!”
