Pres
Why in the world would I tell our big brother anything about your sex life?
A thrill goes through me. I have a sex life now!
Me
I don’t know. What if Hollis told him?
Pres
Guys do not talk about that kind of stuff, Merc.
Me
But, apparently, sisters do?
Pres
Yes. Especially when it involves a rock star. Now spill.
Me
We’ve fooled around a bit. Nothing serious.
Pres
The fooling around isn’t serious? Or you two aren’t serious?
Me
Both?
It takes her a moment to respond.
Pres
You don’t sound so sure.
Me
It’s new. But it’s definitely a no-strings sort of thing.
Pres
Are you sure?
Am I sure? I hesitate before answering.
Does it matter?
Me
Yeah. This was always meant to be temporary.
Pres
Take it from someone who’s been in your shoes. Sometimes the things you never planned for in life turn out to be exactly what you need.
