“Her boobs are really big. And her extensions look great.” Mandy puckers her lips with a sigh, deep in thought.
“You’re crazy. I didn’t even notice her.”
It’s true—I didn’t. Cora is convinced I sleep around because I’m a ‘giant jerk face’, and I guess cheating goes along with being a giant jerk face, but the truth is, I’ve only ever been with Mandy. We were each other’s firsts when I was a sophomore and she was a junior, and we’ve been together ever since. We took a three month break in college, but I still never strayed. It didn’t feel right.
Honestly, the only other woman I’ve ever even thought about in that way is Cora… which is a secret I’ll take to my grave. Neither of them can ever know I had eyes for Cora Lawson first when she ambled into English class as a doe-eyed freshman, radiating innocence and lavender.
The Lawson sisters are still the two most beautiful women I’ve ever laid eyes on, and one of them is currently glaring at me from across the table.
“What?” I question, leaning back in my chair. “Is my breathing getting on your nerves?”
“That’s a given,” she shrugs. “And you’re such a liar. You obviously noticed the waitress.”
“I didn’t, and why would you assume that?”
“Because you’re a straight male.” Cora pauses, a wicked gleam settling in her green eyes. “Well… that’s up for debate, I suppose. We can’t forget that embarrassing incident with your college buddy last year.”
I can’t believe she went there. “You mean when you slipped me your dad’s Viagra after I mentioned I had a headache? Real cute, Corabelle. I thought it was Advil.”
She almost spits her drink out as she erupts with laughter. Damn her. That was the most humiliating night of my life, and I still have no idea how I’m going to get her back for it. Everything I think of falls short.
The waitress returns with our wings and cheese fries, and I keep my hard gaze on Cora, refusing to humor her with even the tiniest glance in the waitress’ direction. But I can see Brandon out of the corner of my eye practically drooling into his craft beer.
“Anything else I can get for you guys?”
“Nope,” I say, still staring at Cora.
She narrows her eyes at me.
The waitress walks away, and I reach for the wings, dipping one of them into the little cup of ranch dressing that was set in front of me. I take a big bite…
…and literally almost Exorcist-vomit all over the table.
“What the fuck? Is this mayonnaise?”
I hate mayonnaise. Despise it. Even the smell of it makes me want to puke.
Cora’s laughter reemerges, and I zero in on the culprit. She’s getting way too good at these pranks.
“Cor, you’re such a bitch,” Mandy says beside me, but her own laughter breaks through as she tries to hide it with her hand.
I fold my arms across my chest with payback in my eyes as Brandon leans into Cora, kissing her head and muttering, “That’s my girl.”
