“I have a teenager now. She’s caused me to revert back to her level of maturity.” April shrugged. “Now, stop avoiding my questions and tell me what the hell happened. You know I’m going to get it out of you eventually, so you might as well just tell me now.”

Erin knew that was true. April had a way of always getting her to open up. It must have been included in the big sister handbook or something. “Fine. We had sex. You happy?”

April smiled in satisfaction. “Very. How was it?”

Erin groaned. Was April really going to make her go into excruciating detail about what happened? “It was seriously perfect.” Erin couldn’t help but get an extra skip to her step just from the thought of how gentle and caring Blair had been with her. In all the years she and Bianca were together, she had never felt that cared for. “Blair is… god, she’s seriously indescribable. But,” Erin felt like she was crashing back down to earth as she thought about the conversation that followed the most amazing sex of her life. “that’s exactly why it can’t happen again.”

“Okay. I’m confused. You look like you’re floating up into the clouds just from thinking about it, yet you’re saying it’s not going to happen again? Why not? Shit, Blair isn’t a fuck boy, is she? Did she have sex with you then blow it off as if it was nothing? Because, if that’s the case, I need to stop being so nice to her.”

Okay. Erin needed to just tell her sister the whole story, because this was getting out of control. “No, no. It’s not like that at all. Blair is perfect. She wasn’t trying to just have sex with me. If it was up to her, we would be dating.”

April stared at her, wide-eyed. “So, you’re the fuck boy?”

“No!” Erin practically shouted, gaining the attention of a few other people in the parking lot. “I’m just… I’m not ready to date yet. It’s barely over a year since Bianca left. I can’t do it.”

“Exactly,” her sister said as if she hadn’t listened to a word Erin just said. “Bianca left over a year ago after barely being present from the time Nolan was born. If you’re not ready now, when a young, sexy, cool woman is interested in you, when are you going to be ready?”

“That’s just the thing. I don’t think I ever will be.”

April stopped to lean against the side of her car and sighed. “Well, you better figure that out because a girl like Blair isn’t going to wait around forever.”

“You’re right. And she shouldn’t. I’m not worth it.”

“You’re more than worth it, but until you realize that, nothing is ever going to work.”
