"So what gives?"
"I might be more into him than he is into me. I mean today, for instance, he abandoned me." Katherine rolls her eyes at me.
Okay, he went to the city to handle a few things. He'd asked me to come, but I was booked up. I'm sure I could have gotten out of my plans, but I thought it might be a good thing to get some space. Some time for me to think clearly. Pierce and I have been connected at the hip for the last week. He was my shadow. It should have annoyed me, but it didn't.
"Try again." Katherine starts sealing the envelopes with stickers for the Valentines. I glance around again to make sure there aren't little ears close enough to hear me.
"We still haven't, you know." I wiggle my brows.
"I thought that was part of the plan, though? In case you want an annulment."
"It is, but he should be trying to get at it still."
Pierce has more than covered the orgasm count demanded, but I need more. I always think he's about to do it, but each time he only presses the tip of his cock into me. There have been a few times where he has thrusted his cock back and forth through the folds of my sex until we both came. But then he stops. He doesn’t try to take it any further than that.
"I'm not sure what to think of that one."
"Me neither." I might be jaded still from social media and how quickly men are willing to cheat. That sex is all they think about. Well, now it's all I think about.
I grab a couple of glitter pens to doodle on the outside of the envelope when Katherine is done sealing each one.
"It's sweet you're missing him. He'll be back soon, I'm sure."
My head snaps up. "Are you sure?" Why did she say it that way?
"He'll be back, dork." Katherine shakes her head at me like I'm the strange one out of the two of us that's being impractical. I reach over and grab my phone to text Pierce.
I have been texting him all day. I ask him random things so he'll have to answer me. I smile when I see his response to me asking him if he'd kiss a man to save me.
Pierce:Yes
My smile drops thinking about him kissing anyone. That backfired on me. I think of another question.
Me:Where does the wind go when it's not windy?
The bubbles letting me know he's responding pop up instantly.
Pierce:It just slows down or stops. It is air movement.
Smart too. I might have forgotten that one on my list, but as always, the man checks boxes I didn't know about.
Me:Do you think blind people see in their dreams?
Pierce: Nope. They can’t comprehend what it is to see.
I doodle a gold sparkly heart. I could start a fight? But we can't have make-up sex. Bullshit. Instead, I test his love for me.
Me:If I were bitten by a radioactive sloth, would you stay with me even if I moved in slow motion forever?
Pierce:Yes
"Maybe you're right," I tell Katherine, showing her my phone.
"I don't even think a radioactive sloth could slow you down." She takes my phone from me.
"What are you doing?" I ask when she starts clicking away at it.
"I'm going to ask stuff. There are a few things I'd like to know. He did marry my best friend." I kick her under the table. Only a handful of people know we're married. How we've kept it locked down, I'm not sure.
