‘Not really.’
‘Do I need to hurt someone?’ The couch depressed as Lara sat next to me, helping herself to a slice of pizza.
‘No. I’m just such a stupid bitch.’
‘You fell for him, didn’t you?’
‘I don’t know. It was only a few days together, and a few weeks of camming before that. That’s not enough to fall for anyone.’
‘My dad told my mum he would marry her on their first date. They are still going strong. Hearts don’t come with minimum time limits. Come here.’
Lara slid an arm around my shoulder, pulling me into a cuddle before crossing her legs on the sofa and facing me. ‘So he rocked your world, then?’
‘Something like that.’ I sniffed as I topped my wine up. ‘It was the most intense few days of my life. He even let me sleep with his friend without being jealous. It was crazy.’
‘You lucky bitch,’ Lara said, taking a swing of wine from the few mouthfuls left in the bottle. ‘He must be good if he fucked you so hard you fell in love with him.’
‘It’s not love. At least I don’t think it is.’
‘Are you feeling sick at the idea of not seeing him again? Trying to invent ways in your head to bump into him? Does the idea of him marrying your cousin make you want to stab her?’
I nodded through a smile, knowing that she was exaggerating.
‘You’ve got it bad, kid. The good news is that there are a whole heap of guys out there who can rail you like a pro and not be involved with your family members.’
‘But I don’t want someone else.’
‘You’ve just been dicknotized, Valentina. The best remedy for that is to find a superior dick and ride the ever-loving shit out of it. What about the friend?’
‘He lives miles away. Having him involved was fun, but he doesn’t make me feel like Logan does. His dick was pierced all the way up, though. Like a whole ladder’s worth.’
‘No fucking way? You’re such a lucky bitch. Next time I should come with you.’
I didn’t mention Edwards, as I didn’t need her worrying about that.
‘Do you think he’ll go through with it? Marrying Nicole?’
‘Did he give you any sign he wouldn’t?’
‘No. He was pretty clear that us sleeping together was a one occasion thing. She doesn’t even want him. He could still come to me.’
‘You deserve better than your cousin’s seconds, babe. You’ll find a man who worships you the way you deserve. You’re beautiful, kind, sexy, and you bake like an absolute goddess. Any guy would be lucky to have you.’
‘Thanks Lara,’ I said as she grabbed another slice of pizza.
‘Do you want to watch a movie?’
‘I think I’m going to get some shuteye. I told mum I’d meet her early and I’m exhausted. It’s been a long week.’
‘No worries. Just let me know if you need anything.’
Curling up in my bed did little to bring on sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, I imagined being tangled up in Logan’s arms, his lips kissing sweet words into my neck.

‘I want to pay it,’ I said, putting a heaped spoon of sugar into my coffee as my mum shook her head.
‘You can’t afford to do that.’
