Reagan made a ta-da gesture and Darcy chucked a napkin at her.
“Don’t be mad at me because you’re all in your feelings after what Cruz said to you about moving too fast.Trust me, I know all about moving too fast, and you and Ford arefine.”
Darcy stared at Reagan, whose cheeks were suddenly pink like she was embarrassed.
“Okay, okay.I can admit that Cruz got to me, and then having Ford feel distant has made me question everything.I’m an over-thinker.I can’t help it.”
“You could help it if you weren’t such a loon.”
“Takes one to know one.”
“Yeah, yeah.”Reagan shook her head and launched a napkin at Darcy that hit her in the nose.
“So,” Darcy said, taking a sip of her favorite apple-strawberry blend juice.“Where did you go on Saturday?”
“What now?”Reagan asked, her cheeks turning red.
“You heard me, weirdo.You disappeared for ages.What’s the deal?”
“Oh gosh,” Reagan said.“Promise you won’t think less of me?”
“I held your hair back when you barfed after drinking peach schnapps that one night.There isn’t anything you could do that would make me think less of you.You’re my best friend.”
“Ugh, don’t remind me of peach schnapps, I might barf again.”
“Ew, please don’t.So… what happened?”
“I met a guy.”Reagan’s voice was low and she wouldn’t look at Darcy.
“At the park?”
“Yeah.His name is Indio.”
“Is he cute?’
“Gorgeous.”Reagan sighed.“I just felt like I needed to leave the party, so I ducked out of the garden and found him in a shed.He…oh man, he’s so freaking sexy I thought I was going to melt.Anyway, one thing very quickly led to another and… you know.”
Darcy’s brows lifted.“You guys… got together?”
“Yep.”Reagan dropped her head to the table and Darcy giggled.
She patted her on the head.“Honey!That’s really great news, though.Have you seen him since?Talked to him?Asked for a repeatboning?”
Reagan’s head shot up, her face screwed up in a mask of disbelief.“Hell no!”
“What?I’m confused.You find a sexy guy and have what I assume was awesome sex?”She paused, waiting for Reagan to confirm if said sex was awesome, and when she nodded vigorously, Darcy said, “Why wouldn’t you talk to him or see him?”
“Because I literally had sex with a stranger!”Reagan whispered loudly.“I never do that kind of thing.I was caught up in the moment, and then when it was over and I couldn’t feel my toes because of how awesome it was, I dressed and ran off!Rhomi has been asking me to call him because he wants to see me again, but how can I face him when I showed him my O face before we even knew each other’s last names?”
Darcy stared at her best friend.
She looked distraught.Miserable.Maybe a little horny for Indio.
“I’m sorry, Reagan,” she said.“That’s rough.But he wants to talk to you.Doesn’t that count for anything?”
“Yeah, that he thinks I’m an easy lay.Oh gosh, I should have kept my freaking legs closed, but he kissed me like he was going off to war and I couldnothelp myself.”
Darcy smiled.“I felt the same way with Ford.”
