junior high.”
The grin on his face was contagious.
“Really?”
“Yes really.”
“You know you are free to have as much sex as you want,” I told him.
“Is that an offer? Because I’m sure my dick would love to find its way to your pussy.”
I slapped his arm. “You know what I mean. With other … people.”
“Are you telling me you want to have a threesome with me?” he said smiling.
“You’re terrible,” I said, but he had me smiling with him. “Just watch the movie.”
We watched for a little while when I remembered my manners.
“My Nana would have my head for not asking sooner, but can I get you anything?”
“Well, you already gave me your pussy, so I think I’m good.”
“Major!” I said, trying to sound outraged.
He chuckled at me. “Okay, fine. Do you have any coffee or popcorn?”
“Popcorn I can do, but no on the coffee.”
“I’ll take the popcorn and some water,” he told me.
I went over to the space we called the kitchen. It was basically a mini fridge, a sink, and a counter. I opened a cabinet and found the popcorn. I tried not to eat a lot of junk, but popcorn was a weakness of mine. I popped a bag and got a bottle of water for Major.
“Here you go,” I said, handing him his snack.
“Thanks.”
I made myself some and got comfy to watch the rest of the movie. When it was almost over, Karma came home. I could tell she was surprised to see Major sitting on the couch with me.
“Oh, hey Major, didn’t expect to see you here.”
There was nothing subtle about Karma.
“Just keeping our little mermaid company for a while,” he said, like this happened every day.
“Uh huh,” she said. I could tell she knew something was up. “I’m just going to change and I’ll be right back.
“Major,” I whispered, when Karma was in her room. “She knows.”
“Knows what?”
“That something happened.”
“So.”
“So, she’s going to want to know what it was.”
“Tell her if you want. It’s not going to bother me. I won’t share what happens between us, but I don’t care if you talk to Karma. You probably need to tell someone about all this greatness,” he said gesturing to himself.
I just shook my head and tried not to smile. I failed. “You’re too much sometimes, you know that right.”
“Yep, it’s hard to contain all this awesomeness.”
“Whatever,” I said. “Could you have a bigger ego?”
“Probably.”
I had to laugh at that. Karma came out of her room and sat on the other side of Major. We watched the end of the movie and he got up to leave.
“I had fun tonight, Kayleigh. We should watch another movie soon.”
I knew by the look on his face that he wasn’t talking about the movie and honestly, I thought that we should try that again, too.
“Yeah,” I said. “The movie was great. Thanks for everything. Good night Major.”
“Good night Kayleigh.”
I closed the door wondering how long it would take Karma to ask me. I didn’t have to wait long. As soon as I turned around she was on me.
“Okay, missy, did you have sex with him? Because if you did, that would be awesome.”
“We didn’t have sex.”
“But something happened.”
“Yes. Something happened.”
“Tell me, I want to know everything.”
I started to tell her what happened when I remembered that I hadn’t told her about what had taken place in the bathroom at the last party we went to. So, I backtracked and started there. By the time I was done, Karma was speechless. But that only lasted a few seconds.
“Oh my God, Kayleigh, I’m so proud of you,” she squealed. “My little girl is growing up.”
“Shut up, Karma. You’re making it weird.”
She laughed at me but let it drop.
“So, do you like him?” she asked.
“Of course, I like him or I wouldn’t have let that happen.”
“I mean, like him, like him. You know, would you date him?”
“I hadn’t really thought about it. I don’t think it matters because I’m pretty sure he doesn’t date.”
“And you’re okay with that?”
“Sure. I mean, what he’s doing is actually helping me and we’re having fun.”
“So, if you saw him with another woman you wouldn’t be jealous?”
I started to say no, but stopped myself because I knew that would be a lie. “Fine, I wouldn’t like it, but that doesn’t mean anything. I’m the one who started this knowing full well what he was like. If I get hurt, I have no one but myself to blame.”
“You know he hasn’t had sex in over two weeks right?” Karma
