“But what if he pulls me back in? Says just the right things to convince me to give him another chance.”
Erica shakes her head. “Hell, no. I can go with you if you want, but that won’t be happening. You’re reclaiming yourself and he gets no part of that.”
“I mean, that’s kind of why I’m doing this whole list thing. Because of him.”
“Wait, what list? Why don’t I know about this list?”
“My anti-boring list. Things that I wanted to do but Duncan never approved of them.”
“What kind of things?” Erica asks.
“New things,” I say. “Zip-lining. Pole dancing. Opening my own jewelry business. Going to a sex club.”
Erica’s jaw drops. Clearly me telling everyone I want to go to a sex club elicits the same response. “A sex club, babe? Fill me in.”
I drop my head into my hands. “Ugh. Duncan always shot down anything I wanted to do and then he has the gall to callmeboring. So I want to do all the things that I never got to do with him.”
“And a sex club was on that list?”
“What’s wrong with wanting to go to a sex club?” I peek at her between my fingers.
“Nothing. It’s just not something I thought you would want to do.”
“Well, I do. Because I am not the boring, Goody Two-shoes that Duncan thinks I am.”
She throws her hands up in defense. “I didn’t say you were. But if you want to go, I know a place.”
Now I’m shocked. “Wait, really?”
She nods. “Yeah. Devon wanted to spice things up a few months ago so we tried it out. We had a good time.”
“Why didn’t I know about this?”
“Not something that I bring up in normal conversation.” Erica eyes me. “But if you want to go, I’ll take you.”
“Yes. I do.”
A sly grin slides across her face. “Then you meet with Duncan and hash it out with him and I’ll take you to the sex club after.”
“You’re getting off easy.”
Erica grins at me. “Wait until we hit the club.”
