Chapters (30)
“More like what he didn’t say.” Andrea cut a slice of bread and dropped it on my plate, but the balls of nerves were taking up too much room for me to even think of eating. “He called to ask me if I knew what happened between you and Kyler in Snowshoe. I assumed he meant the psycho redneck, but when I said that, he was like, ‘oh, hell no.’ He said he knew something went down between you two.”
My mouth opened, but I didn’t have a clue what to say. Heat swept across my cheeks, which was a dead giveaway.
Andrea’s eyes narrowed. “Oh, you dirty hussy, something did go down and you’ve kept quiet. I should disown you!”
The older couple across the way looked over at our table, and I wanted to hide under it. “Andrea, come on.”
“I’m your best friend foreva,” she said without a trace of shame. “You’re required by the laws of feminism to tell me these things.”
I snapped out of my inability to speak. “Whoa. I think you have the idea of feminism wrong.”
“Whatever.” Her eyes rolled. “You need to tell me what happened, because Tanner said Kyler looks like he’s done died and went to hell and hung out there for a while.”
My heart spasmed. “Really?”
She nodded. “Supposedly has been on a two-day bender, and today is the first day the guy has been sober. So whatever went down obviously didn’t end with a Disney happily-ever-after. All I have to say is that you need to tell me what is up, and it better include some rated-R stuff.”
My brows knitted.
“What?” She raised her hands. “A girl can live vicariously, right? I mean, every chick out there wants to star in a porn video with Kyler, so I’m dying to know if he’s that good.”
“He’s that good,” the words were out of my mouth before I could stop them.
Andrea smacked her hands down on the table. “Oh, my God, you slept with Kyler?”
I looked around, cheeks burning. “Okay. Can we keep the sound volume down?”
“Sorry, but I’m just excited to hear about this. Not that I’m excited that he obviously fucked up, because I know it wasn’t you that screwed this up. It was him—it’s always the guy’s fault.”
