He continued “But you seeirls and that’s it But I like you A lot”

I walked on in silence

“Are you going to say anything?” he asked

It took me a few seconds to admit it

“…I asked around about you,” I muttered

“Of course you did,” he said in mild amusement

Which infuriated me

“What’s that supposed to mean, ‘of course you did’?”

Such an arrogant ass, just assu him out before I slept with him –

“You’re a reporter You’re curious about shi– uh, stuff”

Oh

That was an interesting take on it

Good alibi, anyway

“So… what’d you find out?” he smiled

Best sex she’d ever had

I wasn’t about to repeat any of that, though

“You sleep with a lot of women”

“That’s true,” he admitted

“And you don’t date the”

“That’s true, too”

“Like, the average time seems to be about, oh, two or three hours”

“I see a lot of the girls I sleep with over and over again”

I glared at him “So they’re fuck buddies?”

He put his hands up like whoooaaa “Hey, you said it, not me”

“Is that supposed to make me feel better?”

“Did you actually talk to any women I’ve slept with?”

“…one,” I grumbled

“Did she say if we’ve slept together more than once?”

Your roommate missed out BIG time

“No,” I lied “But she and another girl said you never called theain”

“Well, for one thing, I don’t have a cell phone Actually, I don’t have a phone, period”

I stared at him “You don’t?”

“No”
