SOS!If you’re not working or shagging, please call!
I tossed my phone on the bed and crossed my fingers that Vanessa was able to reply.It was just after 7 p.m.here so it’d be after ten in New York.And although it was a Friday night, Vanessa could still be at the office or hooking up.
Although I didn’t want to interrupt her night, I really needed to talk to her.
Ever since Jake had left my room an hour ago, my head had been spinning faster than a washing machine.
My phone screen lit up and I quickly accepted the call.
‘Thank God!’ I answered.
‘What’s up, babe?’
‘I almost had sex with Jake,’ I blurted out.
Really, I should’ve started with the bombshell he’d dropped about not being at the hotel for love, but I was still trying to get my head around that part.
Baby steps.
‘To quote Lizzo: It’s About Damn Time!’ she shouted.‘Wait.Did you sayalmost?’
‘Yeah.’ I filled Vanessa in on our almost kiss on the beach, the first kiss on the Pacific Wheel and what happened when we got to my room.‘And then I told him about what Brett gave me…’
‘Wanker.I would’ve chopped his dick off.What did Jake say?’
I still couldn’t believe I’d told him everything.It’d brought back all of the painful memories and shame, but Jake’s reaction reminded me that I had no reason to feel embarrassed.
‘He was really kind.He said it didn’t change anything.’
‘Too right.It’d only be relevant if you were still infected.’
‘I know.I just… it’s more the worry that it’ll happen again.But I’m so tempted.He’s an amazing kisser and his dick is fucking huge.’
‘I knew it!’ she shouted.‘You can just tell by looking at him.’
‘What?How?’ I scoffed.‘It’s not like he walks around with a permanent boner or a metre stick with an arrow that says “this is how long my cock is”!’
‘He just gives off that big dick energy, y’know?Whenever I’ve seen him in interviews or performing, everything about him screams,I’ve got a whopper in my pants and I know exactly how to use it!’ Vanessa laughed.
‘Heisvery confident and I get the feeling he’d know what he was doing.The things he said to me were downright filthy!’
‘Spill!’ she said excitedly.
‘After we’d finished talking, I’d asked if he wanted to try again, and he said that if he had the chance, he’d spread me out on the bed not just to fuck me with his dick.He said he’d eat my pussy like it was his first meal in weeks!’
‘No!If a guy like him said that to me, I’d spread my legs wider than a gymnast doing the splits.He wouldn’t need to tell me twice!Why the hell didn’t you jump on that shit?’
‘He said now wasn’t the time.That I should think about whether I really wanted to do it: especially because…’ I paused.I still couldn’t believe what he’d told me.‘Because he’s not looking for a relationship.’
‘Wait,what?’ Vanessa shouted, echoing the words that had flown out of my mouth when I heard his revelation.‘Why the hell’s he at a matchmaking hotel if he doesn’t want one?That makes no sense.’
‘Exactly,’ I sighed.
‘And it’s not as if he would’ve come there for a hook-up.All he’d need to do is click his fingers and a swarm of women would come running.I don’t get it.’
