“Why would it matter that I am doing my absolute most to help a company that doesn’t even know I work for them?”
“Well, they do know you work for them,” Isabel says. “They’re paying you a paycheck, right?”
“Barely,” Sarah says, and we all start giggling.
“I know how you feel. I haven’t even seen Colton since that first day,” I say, wanting to choke myself but having brought him up already.
“What, you guys haven’t banged already in his office?” Isabel says, her eyes glittering and I glare at her. “What? Don’t tell me it’s never crossed your mind,” she says accusingly, and I blush.
“Okay, fine. I will admit it to you two because you’re my girls. Yes, I did think that perhaps we would have a hate fuck in his office, but we didn’t.”
“But you wanted to,” Isabel says, and I just glare at her again.
“Okay. It’s true. The thought has crossed my mind several times, and when I go to bed at night, I think about how hot it could be, how I’d be bent over his desk and I’d push all of the folders onto the ground and I wouldn’t have to be the one picking them up either, and then he’d lift my skirt up and pull my panties down and take me hard and fast, and I’d look over my shoulder and glare at him and tell him he was a pig and he’d fuck me even faster. It was slightly weird to me that that turned me on, but it did. It hadn’t happened though, so my fantasies were not coming true.”
“Okay, guys, do not do anything right now,” Isabel says, leaning forward, whispering.
“What,” I say loudly. “I can’t even hear you.”
“Ella,” she whispers, glaring at me. “Keep your voice down.”
“Why,” I say, whispering, leaning forward. “What’s going on? Don’t tell me Brad Pitt’s here and he wants me.”
“You wish,” Sarah says. “If Brad Pitt is here, I am taking him.”
“Hey, I want him too,” Isabel says. “We’ll fight for him.”
“I’m not fighting for Brad Pitt,” I say, giggling.
“Why? Because you know you’ll lose,” Isabel says, as if this were a matter of grave importance. I shake my head because this conversation is ridiculous. If a fly on the wall were listening, he would tell us that none of us even stood a chance.
“Anyway,” she says, “Stop distracting me thinking of things that will never happen.” As if I were the one prolonging the conversation.
“Fine by me.”
“What’s going on with the empty glasses?” Sarah says, holding up her glass and looking dismayed. “I need another drink. Does anyone else need another drink?”
“I do,” I say, drinking the last of my lemon drop. It’s sweet and sour, and I need another one immediately. “Next round on you?”
“Yep,” she says, pulling out her credit card and tapping it against the table. “Do we want some pretzels with beer cheese as well?”
“Guys, Colton is here.” Isabel interrupts us, and my eyes widen as my heart pounds. Why is Colton always around? I wonder if he’s stalking me and immediately dismiss the thought. Colton Hart doesn’t need to stalk anyone.
“What?” I feel my body stiffen. “I haven’t seen him in a while and I don’t know that I want to see him right now.” Which is only partially the truth.
“He’s with someone,” Isabel says, and she looks at them admiringly.“A really hot someone.”
“What?” I say, feeling annoyed. I look around quickly, even though I know I shouldn’t.
“You have no chill,” Isabel whispers, but I don’t care. I look into the corner and I see Colton sitting in a booth with a beautiful blonde. She looks stunning, and I can feel my heart dropping. I wonder if she’s the same girl he had a date with the other night when he asked me to get the condoms. Jealousy tears through me. I don’t know why I care. I don’t care. I remind myself he can go on as many dates with as many beautiful women as he wants. It doesn’t matter to me.
“Who do you think she is?” Isabel asks and I shake my head.
“I don’t know. Don’t care. Are you going to get the drinks, Sarah?”
“Sure,” she says. “Are you upset?”
“No, I’m not upset,” I snap and then sit back. “I just don’t understand how a man can sleep with me and do other things with me and just ignore me.”
