Page 4 of Wait for Him

I look her over. “Where the hell have you been?”

Her smile turns filthy. “That man's tongue is going to be my favorite roller coaster tonight.”

“Jesus Christ.”

She holds up a hotel keycard between two fingers.

My eyebrows rise.

“He's staying here. Already gave me this.” She tucks the card into her bra with a satisfied little wiggle before reaching for what remains of her drink. “Which means you get the hotel room to yourself tonight.”

“How generous of you.”

“I know. I'm an excellent friend.” She drains the last of her glass and sets it down, then tilts her head when she notices my phone. “Make good use of it, okay?”

“I plan to sleep diagonally across both beds.”

“No.” She catches my wrist before I can put my phone away. “By good use, I mean find someone to fuck.”

“Subtle.”

“I've been subtle for fourteen months. Subtle clearly isn't working.”

“You have not been subtle a single day since I've known you.”

“Fine. Then I've been patient.”

I laugh and try to pull my hand back, but she catches sight of the profile still open on my screen.

Her entire expression changes.

“Well, hello.”

Jade takes the phone before I can stop her and holds it farther away when I reach for it.

“Give me my phone.”

“Who the fuck is that?”

“Nobody yet.”

“Twenty-four.” Her eyebrows shoot up. “Rosalie.”

“Don't.”

She swipes.

“Jade.”

Another swipe. Then she looks at me.

“Fuck sleeping diagonally.”

I snatch my phone back. “Thank you.”

“No, seriously. Find him.”

“I already liked his profile.”
