Page 138 of Need You to Choose Me

We all laugh.

“At least you’ll have DJ’s inheritance to help fund your family,” she reasons. “I need a sugar daddy with deep pockets. Especially a young one. Is that asking for too much?”

Both Skylar and I say, “Yes” at the same time.

Berlin abandons her cards again. “If now is the time we all make sappy confessions, I’d like Olive to go next since she’s with a famous hockey player. And because my vagina is full of cobwebs from the lack of sex I’m getting, I require vivid details and descriptions.”

I throw an empty candy wrapper at her head and watch it smack her temple. “You’re such a freak.”

“No,” she corrects, “I’m single and horny. Get it right.”

I grin. “You need a vibrator then. They get the job done well.”

She thinks about it. “That would do. You’ll have to give me some recommendations.”

Skylar cuts in, turning the conversation away from battery-operated boyfriends. “Are you going to Alex’s game this weekend? They’re playing at their stadium, right?”

I nod, unable to stop smiling. “He got me a jersey with his name and number on it.”

Both of their eyes soften.

Berlin sighs lightly. “He got you a jersey. That man is basically peeing on you, and I think that’s hot.”

Skylar and I stare at her.

“Not golden showers,” she says quickly. “I mean, to each their own. But the claiming his territory thing. It’s hot.”

We still stare.

She frowns, picking up her study cards and staring at them. “Shut up,” she mumbles. “I told you I’m single and horny.”

This time, Skylar and I share a look and giggle at her disgruntlement.

Skylar leans her elbow on the coffee table we’re surrounding and sighs. “Look at us. We’re moving on with our lives.”

“Someof you are,” Berlin chirps in feign irritation. “You bitches are ditching me. Rude.”

“Aww, we’ll miss you too,” I coo at her, playfully poking her cheek.

She swats my hand away, but I can see she’s fighting her own smile. “Stop. I need to be mad at you for at least another two minutes.”

I snort. “Okay, you do that.”

Skylar shakes her head from across the table and goes back to studying.

But she’s right.

Life is about to change, and change is scary.

Pulling my phone out of my pocket, I send off another text to my brother. He’s been avoiding me ever since finding out about Alex and it’s starting to get on my nerves.

Me:Even though you are being a giant butt to me right now, I still want to wish you good luck at your game tomorrow. Kick Toronto’s ass like I know you can

I know he won’t reply, but I don’t care. If life is going to change, it’s not going to be for the worse. Which meansSebastian will forgive me and I can be with Alex without feeling guilty.

Me:And tell Tori I said hi

Me:And when you’re done being mad at me for no reason, consider Olive as a girl’s name. She’ll be graced with good conversation starters then
