“Damn it, Rhino.” Nerd slapped his hand against the edge of the bench. “I’m getting fucking blue balls.”

“Is that a real thing?” I asked.

Afro chuckled. “No. It’s a ploy on a man’s part to get a woman to give it up.”

I’d heard the phrase every time I refused my boyfriend sex while we were in high school. I wasn’t surprised. “Really?”

He grabbed another beef stick and offered me one. “Yep.”

I took a jerky from the box. “Nice to know.”

“Looks like we’re wrapping this one up,” Nerd said.

My eyes shot to the monitor. “What?”

Ballerina legs was beside the bed getting dressed.

Now, I was frustrated. With my eyes glued to the monitor, I pushed myself away from the bench and stood. “Are you fucking kidding me?”

She put on her shorts and reached for her top. “Are you going to call me?”

“Uhhm. No,” I said. “He’s not.”

“Sure,” Eric said.

She put her top on. “I love the house.”

“Thanks. It’ll do for now, I guess.”

He got dressed and walked her to the front door. After a hug and a playful kiss on the lips, she got in her car and left.

“Un-fucking-believable,” I said.

Visions of Kelli waking me up again and then screaming at me for orchestrating a G-rated make out session filled my mind. My thoughts mirrored Nerd’s. To have Eric do what he did with Karen, and then exhibit the behavior of a prepubescent teen with Ballerina legs was ridiculous.

“Thanks for nothing,” Nerd said with a laugh.

I turned toward the door. “I’ll have a talk with him about it. It won’t happen again.”

“Let’s hope not. That was pretty disappointing.”

“Believe me,” I said. “No one is more disappointed than me.”

“I’d be willing to wipe the debt clean if you can talk her into coming back and showing some skin,” Nerd said.

“Yeah. Same here,” Afro said.

I needed money bad. My supply had dwindled, leaving me with little, if any, to survive for the rest of the show. “How about a hundred from each of you if I can get them to have sex?”

“If it’s on film,” Afro said. “I’m in.”

Nerd’s hand shot in the air. “Ditto.”

“I’ll see what I can do,” I said.

Kelli was going to kill me for the kissing scene, that much I was sure. I needed to find out what the hell Eric was thinking, and get his head back in the game.

I just hoped we could fix it before Kelli showed up.
