"She's not at the store"

"You're bothering her at home?"

"You want the bikini or not?"

"I' you my bra size," I say

"Fuck, Bri, I' to see your tits What's it ive you a measurement in inches if it makes you feel better"

"I couldn't trust a self-report"

"You want to be the one to measure?"

"Yes, of course, I've been drea about the chance to hold a ruler next to your dick It's reatest sexual fantasy" I roll my eyes

He smiles, charmed by my quip, desperate to reply with his own

He's hiding his exhaustion well, but it's there The heaviness in his shoulders The frustration in his eyes

Then he blinks and he almost fools ive a fuck about anything

"I can do it now," he says "Or wait until we're home"

I flip him off

Again, he smiles

Again, he doesn't quite sell it

He's upset He doesn't want to talk about it He wants easy

I guess that's fine We're not really engaged He's not really my life partner He can keep secrets if he wants

I don't like it But maybe it's better Maybe we need this line between real and pretend

"It's hot today," he says "You want to go for a swim?"

"Where?"

"I'll find a place Somewhere private"

"How?"

"Event planner friend She does corporate shit There's always so free on weekends"

"Just the two of us?"

He nods just the two of us

"Is this an elaborate scheet my bra size?"

"How'd you know?"

"Give her my number I'll tell her"

"I can guess"

"You cannot Cups are tied to band So you can't just say I look like a c-cup A 30c and a 36c are vastly different sizes"

"You're a c-cup"

"None of your business"

"I had a vision," he says "When Harrison said he wanted a stripper with purple hair"

"He really said that?"

"He was fucking withto make me jealous"

"Did it?"

He doesn't answer the question Describes his vision instead "He's sitting on his bed The lights are all red purple You coh the door in this black bra and panty set Some sheer mesh that makes him rock-hard in an instant"

"Where are you going with this?"

"Fuck, I'o somewhere?"

"You told the story for a reason, I assume"

"Your tits They were in my vision"

Honestly, his story is too absurd to annoy me Andabout how badly he wants me

He taps so into his phone Shows it to me

My bra size

He's close My sister's size

"One cup up One band down," I say
