“How was it?” I ask, immediately sitting back up. “How was my first take?”
“Stellar. Truly. Just about perfect, Cubby.”
“Oh wow, really?”
“Great choice of undies too.”
She listened to me debate my underwear selection for half the car ride, so that really means something. “Oh good. And I didn’t sound too melancholy?”
She fiddles with the camera. “Not at all. Perfect Cubby sweetness. I really think it was a home run.”
“Yay!” I jump up, bubbling with excitement. It’s still freaky to imagine putting a video like this online, but I know it’s what I want. Sex education has been my calling for a long time, and even though it took me a while to admit this is how I want to pursue it, now that I have, I really believe I can accomplish something meaningful through my vlog.
I wiggle my butt toward the mountains stretching in the distance, bouncing my hips at the view. “I’m going to put my butt online!” I yell with a laugh, then bend over, sticking it up and gyrating it as I place my hands on the ground. “My butt is going to be famous!”
Meg laughs, still messing with the camera. “Okay, Cubby.”
I give my soon-to-be-famous ass one more good bounce, then jump up and spin to face the lake. I’m laughing hard, but my heart stops.
A large man is standing there, slack-jawed.
No, not just any large man. It’s the lumberjack I’ve been obsessively thinking about since yesterday, the mountain man with the thick beard who filled my fantasies all night.
I just introduced Chase to my butt.
