“Why does it matter to you?”
I’d known Tiff for a lifetime. Her mischievous grin showed we were thinking of the same person.
“Would you even be jealous of June?” she asked, biting her lip after.
“Why should I be?”
I used the remaining powder while she opened up my computer without asking me. “What’s the point of watching this shit and not masturbating to it?” she asked when an obscene video started up on the screen again.
“And who told you I haven’t already?”
“Jamie.” The brunet reprimanded me with a smile.
“Hey.”
“You haven’t. I can see it from here.”
“Don’t fuck with me,” I grumbled, nervously rubbing my neck.
“Ah, you finished all the candy. Is that why you’re so impaired?” She seductively played with a dark curl between her fingers.
“I finished all of it. I gotta go back to Austin, but after being seen with his son yesterday, I don’t think he wants to see me today.”
I drew nearer to her as she sat on the bed. Tiffany never seemed intimidated by me. She always looked at me brazenly, and even though she was uninhibited with what she told me, she knew me well.
“Look, between you and White—”
I would’ve wanted to ask her if she’d seen June naked, if Tiffany had seen signs on her body, but then she’d definitely start to screw with me.
“What do you want to know, James?”
“Is there something going on between you two?”
“No, what do you mean?”
“I don’t know, you seemed close at my house.” Tiffany bit her lip.
“Have you seen her naked?” I pressed.
There was a lascivious jolt in her dark-brown eyes.
“Jamie.”
“Answer me.”
“What do you care?”
“I don’t give a flying fuck about you or her.”
If Tiff didn’t want to talk about it, I’d find another way.
“You’re just afraid to let yourself go.”
“Don’t come to my house to act like my fucking shrink. You hear me?” And then, fear of letting myself go? Was she serious?
“For someone who slept with half the school, that doesn’t seem like the right description. Change jobs, psychology isn’t the right fit for you,” I added.
“This isn’t all you are, James.” She trolled my bare chest with her eyes.
