“Yes, I’ve asked him direct questions, and he’s somewhat confirmed some of them.”
“The ‘blink once for yes’ game?”
“Something along those lines,” I smirk.
“Is there a little something more than becoming friends happening there? If I think about it, I do see you two together a lot,” she quirks an eyebrow in thought while looking at me.
I can’t lie to her, and I know that she wouldn’t forgive me if I continued to keep it from her.
“Blink once for yes, and twice for no,” she asks eliciting a laugh from me.
“We have been spending a lot of time together. I guess the forced proximity of all this has us getting to know one another in an unconventional way. But yeah, I blink once.”
“Shut the fuck up! What the hell? Has this been from the start? Why haven’t you said anything?”
“Well, considering that he’s working almost around the clock, I think that’s the number one reason. Plus, we don’t want to distract from the matter at hand here. Why prance around all happy and all, when people are in here freaking out.” I shrug.
“I think it would be a nice reprieve. I mean it’s a story to tell, ‘I fell in love while in quarantine,’ that is straight up something that is out of a damn romance novel. Somebody better get to writing that right away.”
“I’m not in love, I think that we’re just in heavy like.”
“And how far does heavy liking get you? You guys just swapping spit, or is there some under the shirt action happening?”
I don’t say anything and look anywhere but at her, which she catches right away.
“Oh my God, you’re a pandemic hussy!” She whisper shouts while pointing at me.
“I don’t think that’s a thing.” I shake my head.
“Oh, it’s totally a thing, and right now—you’re the president,” she says, then smirks and points at me again, “you hussy.”
I see Levi walk around the corner and he smiles as he sees me. I must have smiled right back at him or else Janelle wouldn’t have made some strange squeal before turning around.
“Ahh, I like how he makes you smile.” She says quickly before he approaches.
“Ladies,” Levi nods as he greets the both of us.
“Hey Mr. Hussy,” Janelle smirks.
He looks confused from her greeting and then quizzingly looks at me, I just shrug.
“She’s Ms. Hussy and you’re Mr. Hussy. We need to get you both sashes or something.”
“Hussy?” he questions.
“Oh, she knows about us,” I tell him, and I see the relaxation settle in his body.
“But how does that make us ‘hussies’?” Levi asks.
“Because you two are taking advantage of us all being here in quarantine. I mean, I get it, what else do we have to do other than hump like bunnies to keep sane.”
“I’m not sure that’s what this actually is, I like to think that it’s a little more than that,” he looks at me and says.
Janelle looks between us. “You both have that dopey look in your eyes, I believe it.”
I ignore her, and it looks like Levi does too. “Well, I’m glad that there’s someone that we don’t need to hide from.”
“Your secret is safe with me,” Janelle assures him. “But now that we are all in on that secret, how about you let me in on the other secrets happening around here?”
