I already had my swoon-worthy muscle muffin, and that was Shadow. I kept that thought to myself though, knowing how touchy the subject of Shadow and I shacking up could potentially be with Calisto. After all he was her twin brother.

“So you fuck Shadow yet?” Calisto asked.

“What?” Well that caught me off guard.

“Never mind, it’s your private affairs,” Calisto said. “I just want the man to be happy, that’s all, and if your pussy is what puts a smile on his face, then I hope you throw that kitty at him any chance you have.”

I guess that was her strange way of giving me her blessing? “I want Shadow to be happy as well,” I replied.

“Great, we’re both on the same page. Let’s celebrate then. We’re going out.”

I pressed one of the keys gently on the piano and the note echoed through the condo. “I really had my heart set on staying in and practicing this piece,” I replied. “Maybe I’ll go out with you next time?”

“Look, it’s been an extremely long day in the boardroom handling the family business. Did Shadow tell you that we are in the midst of launching the Inferno, a casino and hotel chain inspired by Dante’s works? It’ll be a revolutionary experience for all its patrons, and it will be one of the crown jewels of the Tremaine business empire; but before the grand opening, it’s been a giant pain in my ass trying to get everything in order. I’m burnt out, I’m stressed, and I need to go out and drink, but most of all, I need some fun people to come with me and you’re one of those people.”

“Uh…” I began.

“Amazing, we’ll be over in an hour for the pre-drinking party,” Calisto said. “And don’t worry about doing your makeup. I have a specialist that will do it for us while we get some drinks in us.”

Before I could protest, I heard a click on her end of the phone, ending our conversation abruptly.

I could see Calisto as being the type of person who didn’t hear the word ‘No’.

I sighed. I still had a good hour before Calisto arrived and I decided to attempt one more run throughGaspard de La Nuit.

About half an hour later and yet another failed attempt, which left me banging my head against the keys, I heard a knocking on my door.

Calisto must have been early.

I rose from the piano bench and headed towards the foyer entrance.

“You’re early Calisto,” I said as I unlocked and opened the door.

Instead of Calisto standing before me, it was Bitchy Barbie from the gym who had given me attitude the other day.

“You’rethe girl Calisto wanted to invite out tonight?” she said with disdain.

Fuck.

“Well, who am I to judge who Calisto decides to waste her time with,” she sighed as she tossed her jacket into my arms and entered my condo like she owned the place.

With her back turned to me, I tossed her jacket outside my door and closed it behind us.

She could pick it up on her way out.

“Nice place you have here,” she said as she entered into my living room and plopped down on my couch, making herself right at home. “What sugar daddy paid for this one?”

“No sugar daddy paid for it,” I said with half-truths. “I’m earning it.”

“I’m sure you are,” she made a gesture with her fist and tongue pressed against her cheek, strongly hinting towards the act of fellatio.

However, I could see the lack of common sense in this girl already, seeing as how she raised her right fist and pushed out the right side of her cheek with her tongue.

“Wow, your boyfriend has a right angled penis?” I asked.

“What are you talking about? I don’t have a boyfriend,” Bitchy Barbie girl said, obviously clueless.

“Never mind,” I sighed.
