“Okay, no judgment then. Tell me, please!” she begs, gripping onto my arm and shaking it dramatically.
“It’s… Elliot.”
She stares at me wide eyed for far too long. So long that I start to panic. My chest gets all tight and my mouth goes dry. I shouldn’t have told her. Shit, I shouldn’t have said anything! But then she grins and lets out a squeal so loud I’m sure they heard it in the parking lot.
“Shush!” I hiss at her, covering her mouth.
“You’re banging Harrison’s father!” she mumbles behind my hand.
“It’s more than that,” I say quietly, pulling my hand away.
“You’redatinghim?”
“I don’t know. I guess. It’s exclusive, that’s all I know.”
“Oh my god, Sera. This is the best news I’ve ever heard in my life.” She stomps her feet excitedly. “Please tell me which one has a bigger dick.”
I gasp, slapping her arm. “You’re so crass.”
“Just tell me. Please, I need to know. It’s Elliot, isn’t it? Harrison gives off small dick energy.”
“He does not,” I defend, though I don’t know why. It’s not that Harrison has a small dick, but he is kind of a jerk.
“Oh, honey, he totally does.” She pats my shoulder condescendingly.
“It’s Elliot.”
“I knew it! The man looks like he has a big dick.”
“How do you even know what he looks like?”
“Obviously I looked him up when you told me that’s who you were working for. He’s hot as fuck, Sera. Totally hotter than Harrison. He’s got the brooding rich man thing going for him. Not like Harrison who always looked like a spoiled brat with a stick up his ass.”
I can’t help but laugh at that.
My phone dings and I look at it. When Gia looks at my phone this time, I don’t pull it away.
Elliot: Are you having fun?
Me: Yes.
Elliot: Will I be lucky enough to see you tonight?
“Oh my God, he’s sweet too,” she says in disbelief. “Have you found anything wrong with him yet?”
“Wrong?” I ask. “I wouldn’t say wrong.”
“What does that mean?”
“Well, there’s things that are… weird?”
“Like?”
“The fact he’s been married twice and has a kid older than me.”
“Oh, right. Yeah, I can see that. But he doesn’t have, like, a weird collection of bugs or likes to wear diapers, right?”
Oh my God, this girl!
