Both. But I’m not admitting that to him or he’ll never shut up about it.
“I didn’t know what I was sayin’, so you can’t hold that against me. I was ten sheets to the wind.”
He cackles. “The phrase isthreesheets, but I guess ten sounds more accurate for you.”
“And I’m back to hatin’ you.”
“Nice try, roomie. Admit it, youlikeme.”
“I donot! You’re a huge pain in my ass.”
“That’d be a lot more convincin’ if you didn’t spend the last twenty minutes starin’ at my arms and chest.”
“Out!” I point toward the door.
Damn him for noticing.
He laughs harder now. “You don’t want help gettin’ out?”
“No, I’m hopin’ I’ll slip and fall to my death so I won’t have to remember this conversation.”
“And you called me the dramatic one?”
“Go!”
He pushes off the counter, laughing as he leaves and winks before shutting the door behind him.
I’m still mortified by the time I drain the tub and walk out in only a towel. Silas sits on my bed, scrolling on his phone.
“Would you rather I hadn’t told you?” he asks.
“Yes. Ignorance is bliss and all that.” I walk to my dresser and dig out some comfy clothes.
“But if I didn’t tell you, I couldn’t help you with your little…problem.”
I scowl over my shoulder, motioning for him to turn around so I can get dressed. “How exactly do you think you canhelpme?”
“Well…I managed to do it once.”
“Yeah, about that…” I get my bra and panties on before sliding on a T-shirt. “How was it your virgin ass made me come my first time but no other guys seem to be able to?”
Or at least without a ton of effort and time.
“Uh…you don’t wanna know the answer to that.”
“Yes, I do. Tell me.”
Once my pants are on, I sit on my bed and he stands in front of me.
“Posey, I’m certain you don’t.”
“Was it porn? ’Cause that wouldn’t shock me. Most guys watch it.”
“No. Although, I did read a few of my sisters’ romance novels. Well, mostly the spicy parts.”
I tilt my head down and remove the towel. Though I didn’t wash my hair, I toss it up into a messy bun to brush through later.
“Okay, then what?”
