I lift my glass of water to my lips. “You would be right.”
“Do you prefer it that way? Keeping it at the club?”
I shake my head. “I have no preference as long as I have a good time and so does my partner.”
She nods. “Well, if you ever need someone to go to one with you, I can go.”
“Yeah. Maybe have a little company party?” I wiggle my brows. “Help your boss pick someone up?”
“I don’t think you need help.”
“Very true, but I’d love to see what your thoughts are on who you think I should be with.”
She pauses for a moment and glances around the room. “You know, I think Jessica on the airplane was a very good option for you.”
“Like I said, she’s not my type.”
“Then why did you take her number?” she asks, crossing her arms over her chest.
“It’s called being polite,” I answer. “I’m not about to be a dick to her and say no thanks.”
“Instead, you’re going to get her hopes up and make her wait by the phone?”
I shake my head. “No. I already texted her.”
Wylie sits taller as her expression changes to surprise. “Wait, really?”
“Yup.”
“So . . . uh . . . that means that you’re going to meet up with her?”
“What makes you think that?” I ask.
“Well, you texted her. I’m assuming that means you plan to meet up with her.”
I shake my head. “No, I texted her to tell her I was flattered, but I’m into someone else at the moment.”
Her mouth slightly falls open, but then she masks her reaction and glances down at her silverware, quickly moving to look busy.
“That was, uh . . . that was nice of you to let her down like that.”
“Yeah, thought it was the decent thing to do.”
Her eyes meet mine again when she asks, “So if you’re into someone else, then why do you want me to help you find someone at a club to fuck?”
“Because the person I’m into can’t offer me what I want. What I need, therefore, I need to expel this energy somehow.”
“Oh . . . makes sense.”
“Don’t you ever get so incredibly horny that you just need someone, anyone to fuck?”
She wets her lips softly. “I usually resort to my vibrator.”
“A viable option, but sometimes, Wylie, that just isn’t enough,” I say just as our food arrives at our table.
Perfect timing.
Levi:Reporting in. I’m going full force. I jacked up the AC in the hotel room to force her into my bed.
