Excerpt
Lauren
I walk through the wide-open space that
Honey uses to shoot her Desert Babies portraits. Families come from all over
Texas for her distinctive photos that feature babies in the desert environment
that surrounds Marfa. In the office, I find Honey seated at her desk, feet up
and keyboard on her lap. “Thank goodness it’s just you. I’m so comfortable, and
that’s a rare thing these days.”
Honey’s pregnant belly seems to get bigger
every day. “How is my nephew doing?” I drop into one of her visitor chairs.
She lays her hand over the baby bump. “I
think he’s playing rugby today.”
“Ouch.”
“You said it. The feet to the ribs are my
favorite.”
“Won’t be long now, Mama.”
“I can’t wait. Blake is so excited. He
talks to him every night and tells him all the things he’s going to teach him.”
“It’s great to see him so happy.” During
our senior year of high school, Blake was devastated by the loss of his
girlfriend, Jordan, in a car that he was driving when a truck broadsided it.
He’s never been the same, and only after he fell in love with Honey last year
did he seem to recover somewhat. “Both of you deserve everything you’ve got
now.”
Honey gives me an odd look. “What’s the
matter?”
“Why would you ask me what’s wrong when I’m
saying you and Blake deserve to be happy?”
“Because I know you, and as much as I
appreciate that, I can tell when you’re upset about something.”
That’s the thing about meeting your best
friends in kindergarten. No one knows you like they do. “I’m not upset… I’m
anxious.”
“About?”
“I have a date with Garrett tonight. A real
date, not the usual beer and wings.”
Honey lets out a giddy squeal and claps her
hands. “It’s about freaking time!” She puts the keyboard on her desk and drops
her feet to the floor so she can lean in for closer scrutiny. “What brought
this on? We all assumed you guys decided to just stay friends.”
“We did. We had. We… Well, it’s complicated.”
“How so?”
I bite my lip while trying to decide how
much to tell my best friend, who is also Garrett’s good friend. “We sort of had
sex six months ago.”
Honey stares at me, eyes agog. “How can you
sort of have sex?”
“We did it, but it was weird and awkward
and well… not good.”
“Ohhhh.” Honey taps her bottom lip. “This
is extremely surprising in light of his… well…”
“Reputation?”
Nodding, Honey says, “Supposedly, he’s
somewhat of a… um…”
“God in bed?” Girls we knew growing up used
to wax poetic about his skills even when we were still in high school. Garrett
thinks we don’t know this, but Honey and I are well aware that more than one
tourist has come to town for a roll in the sack with the guy known as the Sex
God.
“Yes! So, what the hell went so wrong?”
“I have no idea. I’ve gone over it and over
it in my mind a million times, but it never makes sense. I adore him, and vice
versa. We’ve been hot for each other for ages. It should’ve been off the
charts. Instead, it barely made the chart, and it brought back a lot of crap
from when I was with Wayne and he would tell me I suck in bed.”
“Wayne is an asshole, and you do not suck in bed.”
“How do you know that?” I ask with a laugh.
“Because you’re gorgeous and sexy and any
man would be lucky to have you in his bed.”
The fear that Wayne is right about me has
been keeping me awake at night since the disaster with Garrett. Though I’m
touched by Honey’s unwavering love for me, I go with sarcasm to hide my
emotional response. “And you’re not even slightly impartial.”
“Not at all. It’s a well-known fact that
men who suck in bed frequently make their partners feel responsible for their
inadequacies. Clearly, Wayne passed off his own failings onto you, and you
can’t let him get away with that.”
“Where did you hear this well-known fact?”
“Cosmo.
Where else?”
Snorting with laughter, I say, “Of course.
Where else, indeed.” I run my hands over the skirt of my dress as another
thought occurs to me. “But what if Wayne was right and I do suck in bed? What if it was my fault that it went so badly with
Garrett?”
“Lauren! Stop this! It wasn’t you. It was
an off night. I can’t stand to see you doing this to yourself. If you believe
that crap, then Wayne wins, and he can’t ever win. I won’t allow it.”
Honey’s fierce defense goes a long way
toward making me feel better, but I won’t truly believe it wasn’t me until
Garrett and I successfully close the deal.
