Deirl? Need to chat?

I quickly type my response

No Need a male stripper and a lifetime supply of Tequila

Two seconds later she replies

I’ll be there in thirty minutes With alcohol I’ll be your stripper

Her quirky response h But I still want to cry

"He did WHAT?" De on my couch with her feet tucked under her butt and soe in her hand Her eyes are completely popped out of their sockets as she staresmiserably to hide the blush that skims across my face and settles onher about everything that happened at ht I knew Grayson and his parents would be there However, judging by the look on Graysons’ face when he opened the door, he was more than surprised to seewith the movement "Are you kiddin’ me? He kissed you?" She looks at me incredulously and I nod She sounds as surprised as I felt I think back to the ame over When he walked away I kneould never be the saain All because of a stupid kiss

"Yeah, but it doesn’t uise my disappointment

"Why the hell not?"

"You sahat happened in the cafeteria Demi What else am I supposed to think?" I don’tabout hi about that Rebecca bitch?"

I nod but I don’t look up I’m afraid of ill De irl," she takes a sip of her fruity alcoholic beverage and then continues "Psycho Barbie all butlunch He didn’t stand a chance when she pounced on hi his face" She shivers at the recollection and the sightanother sip of her beverage, "What was it like?"

I frown "What hat like?"

She rolls her eyes atshe wouldn’t ask h to describe how it felt the moment Graysons’ lips touched ht could’ve been an eternity and if the Earth set fire and exploded, I wouldn’t have noticed

"It was, ulish vocabulary for one word suitable enough to describe the most explosive moment to ever collide with both my body and led fingers and feel the heat crawl over ain I have revealedis oddly liberating, being able to say how I feel without reservation She doesn’t judge me

"It’s ok to admit that you like him," she says "Grayson just needs a little time to pull his head out of his ass" She s complete rubbish after all But this only leavesto De to do with Grayson or his ga just that is far less appealing
