Chapter Sixteen
Blue
––––––––
“Wait, you slept withhim in the backseat of his car at a packed festival downtown?” Hannah looks at me like she has no idea who I am. “Withouta condom?”
“I know. I don’t know what came over me,” I admit, covering my face with one of my couch pillows.
When Hannah couldn’t get a hold of me Friday or Saturday, I guess she got a little worried and decided to come over and check on me this morning. I’m sure the last thing she expected was for Harris to answer the door in nothing but his boxers. Had I not been in the shower, I never would have allowed him to do such a thing, but alas, that’s Harris for you.
After our quick but incredibly hot encounter in the car, we headed back here. Harris wanted to go back to his place, but I insisted I needed a change of clothes. Once we got here, we never left. We stayed up into the wee hours of the night fucking like uncontrollable teenagers, eating peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, and laughing and talking about the most random things. It was honestly one of the best nights of my life.
But I’m glad Hannah showed up when she did because had she not, Harris would probably still be here. And after nearly two full days together, I think it’s good for us to have a little breathing room. As much fun as this weekend has been, that’s all it was. Fun.
“So what, are you guys like a thing now?” she asks after I’ve finished giving her the quick run through of the events that took place since I saw her Friday.
“Hell no.” I snort.
“Liar.” She crosses her arms over her chest. “You like him. Like,like himlike him.”
“I do not.” I shake my head. “Don’t get me wrong, he’s fun and clearly gorgeous, and incredible in bed, but this isn’t a thing. We’re just hanging out.”
“Hanging out,” she repeats slowly.
“Yeah. We do have a bet to finish, you know.” I try to play it off like this is no big deal, but I can tell by the way she’s looking at me that she isn’t buying it.
“A bet that entails you falling in love with him and the two of you ending up together.”
“Exactly. But that’s not going to happen because I’m going to win.”
“You sure about that?”
“Of course I’m sure. Why are you looking at me like that?” I gesture to her face.
“Like what?”
“Like that. Like you know something I don’t.”
“I’m just a little caught off guard is all. This is a lot to take in.”
“I know. God, it all happened so fast. I didn’t have any intentions of sleeping with him once, let alone multiple times.”
“Are you going to continue sleeping with him?”
“I don’t know.”Yes, I will.I’m going to ride this train for as long as I can. I might not be interested in a serious relationship, but I am more than happy to participate in a casual one. As long as Harris doesn’t push for more, I plan to see this thing through to the end.
“You’re a shit liar, you know that?” She laughs. “And for the record, I don’t object to this little union.”
“There is no union.”
“I’m just saying, I like the idea of you two together. Even if you’re not together, together.” She grins. “I always knew deep down you liked the guy.”
“But I didn’t. That’s just it. But the more time I spend with him the more I realize just how wrong I was about him.”
“I told you he’s a good guy.”
“Yeah. Yeah. Hasn’t anyone ever told you that no one likes anI told you so?”
