Page 38 of Love Unavoidable
“Well, I think not,” he retorts. “Even if I were, which I am not, you didn’t seem to mind a couple hours ago when you were begging me to finger fuck you by the barbeque.”
He’s right.
“That’s not the point,” I say.
“What is the point?” he asks.
I think about it for a moment. “Well, I can’t rightly say that I remember. But I’m sure it was important.”
He laughs at me. A full-blown, bent over at the waist laugh. Which pisses me off.
“I have aconcussion,” I remind him.
“Yeah? And that has what to do with not remembering your point?”
“You don’t know.”
He laughs harder. So hard that he coughs. But he just keeps laughing. So I laugh too. Because it’s damn hard to stay mad at someone you like when they are laughing. It’s contagious.
His amusement subsides, and he tells me he likes my smile.
“Don’t go trying to get all on my good side now,” I tell him.
“Why not? We’re both laughing, nothing wrong with a little compliment here and there.”
“I’m only laughing because you were laughing.”
“Oh, really?”
“Yes, laughter is contagious. It’s a scientific fact.”
“From what scientist?”
“I don’t know, science scientists.”
He nods, but it’s sarcastic. In fact, his entire being oozes mockery and sarcasm. And he can barely contain further laughter.
“I don’t have time for this,” I say. “I have to go in the house now. In fact, I’m going to bed. Alone.”
“Of course, you’ll be alone,” he calls after me. “’Your remaining forty-two hours aren’t up yet.”
Ohmigod! What an ass!
I video call Tenley as soon as I’m in my room behind closed doors.
“Hey bitch,” she answers. “How was the wedding?”
“For starters, I want to kill the super hot asshole I’m staying with.”
“Whoa, back up. You’re staying with a super hot asshole? How’d that happen? Wasn’t the wedding yesterday?”
“Yes! And I met this guy, Ethan, and I was going to go home with him—”
“I’m so proud of you!”
“Thank you. But Aaron was there and he made me get a concussion and I had to go to the hospital and Mama was there and she was going to lock me up with Aaron and so Ethan offered to let me stay with him. And he just gave me the most fantastic orgasm of my life—”
“Okay, I feel like I am missinga lotof the story here.”
