“We haven’t. Any chance you can keep Nolan while I go back to his place to help him put everything away?”
Her squeal makes me laugh out loud.
“So, that’s a yes?”
“That’s ago get you somehell yes!”
“Sasha!” I admonish. “I’m going to help him put things away, not sleep with the guy.”
“Not sleep with himyet. I just want to be clear, if things happen to go that way, I will not slut-shame you, and I will high-five you all the way.”
I shake my head, not surprised she’d say that. “Well, I’m glad I have your approval, but I’d like to get to know the guy a little more before I hop in bed with him.”
“Hey, to each their own. It’s been … what, seven years since?—”
“You can stop right there. I know where you’re going with this.”
“Just sayin’ …”
“Okay, well, I’m hanging up now before we talk about my nonexistent sex life anymore.”
“Go have fun,” she singsongs.
“I will, but not in that way …” I mimic her tone, then hang up and turn on the music to get the ideas she’s put in my head to go away.
Yes, it’s been years since I’ve been with someone.
But, no, I won’t let that sway my judgment as to whether I sleep with this guy on the first date.
CHAPTER SEVEN
Evan
My sister texted a few times today, so I take this opportunity to call her while I drive back to my place.
“Did you kiss her?” she asks as her hello.
“Is that all you care about?”
“Um … yeah, pretty much,” she jokes. “So, did you?”
“Did I kiss her in the middle of Target while we picked out garbage cans? No.”
“Ugh. Why not?”
I laugh out loud. “Because we were choosing garbage cans. Not really a romantic place for a first kiss.”
“But what about when you said goodbye? How come you didn’t kiss her then?”
“One, why are you so curious about who I kiss? And, two, we haven’t said goodbye. She’s driving behind me right now to come back to my place to help me put all this stuff away.”
“Let’s go!” she screams out in joy.
“Do you actually hear yourself right now? You’re acting like I hit a home run, not spent the day with a girl.”
“No, I’m saying if you land this girl, it will be like you hit a home run.”
“You’ve never met her!”
