“Ithink that’s illegal, on like, high levels,” Kenzie said in all seriousness.
I lowered my glasses and gave her an ‘Are you serious?’ look. “How does me not having a mobile phone categorize as illegal? It could easily be a preference of mine.”
“But it’snot,” she countered. “And that’s the thing, Z; not having a phone on you isnota preference of yours. Also, seeing you without one is making me all nauseous and dizzy.”
We were at the studio getting things ready for a long-ass day shoot. Not exciting, but hey, good-paying jobs often aren’t, right?
“Are you sure you’re not pregnant? Because those symptoms point towards that, and not your concern over me not having a phone,” I said.
She rolled her eyes. “Don’t act sassy with me. Of course I’m not pregnant. Hayden used a condom –boththe times.”
My brows creased in confusion. “Who’s Hayden?”
Kenzie stared at me. “The guy I left the club with on Wednesday.” She could’ve just as easily yelled ‘DUH’ in my face.
“But you said you were leaving with a ‘Rob’,” I told her. “I remember you saying ittwice.”
“You were drunk when you got in the cab.”
“What?” I placed my hands on my hips. “No, I wasn’t. I don’t even touch alcohol! I wasn’tdrunk, Ken.”
She clicked her tongue. “I know for a fact it was a ‘Hayden’. He kept asking me to scream and yell and moan his name in bed, so I can’t be wrong by any means.”
I flinched. “TMI.”
She smirked. “He was so freaking hot. And his dick was slightly round in structure; you know, like a crescent or a thick arced banana, and–”
“Oh my God, STOP!” I covered my ears with my hands. “Just…ewww, Ken. Gross.” I then pulled my hands away when I was sure she wasn’t going to attack me with more of her sexual word-vomit. “You ruined the moon and bananas for me. I won’t look at them the same way anymore.”
She pouted. “But he just–”
“No.”
“But at least listen–”
“No!”
“Zaira, I–”
“Shh! No, no, no!”
She opened her mouth, but I made a ‘zip it’ gesture, to which she huffed and crossed her arms over her chest.
“You’re no fun,” she muttered.
My lips twitched at that, but I kept my expression neutral. “That’s what you get for comparing a random guy’s dick to a banana and the moon. Next time you wanna use euphemisms, go for things that are less likely to make a normal human being shudder and beg for a painful death.”
She looked at me like I was crazy, and then suddenly glanced behind me, right before…
“Uh…” He cleared his throat, and I closed my eyes in paint-white embarrassment. “Is this not a good time? I can come back later.”
I begged the Lord to strike me with lightning, but that didn’t happen.Obviously. After all, when has he listened to me?
“Hey, Gallan!” Kenzie chirped, and when I opened my eyes and glared at her, she flashed her teeth at me as if to say ‘Karma is a bitch, baby.’
