【ＪＯＳＥＰＨＩＮＥ】
For the tenth time, Katherine checks her reflection in the mirror. She presses her lips together, assessing her red lipstick.
Then it's the black cat eye.
The big fake lashes.
The just heavy enough contouring.
With her hair in neat waves, she's every bit the pinup sex goddess.
It suits her.
Gives me mental images of her in a cone bra and Jer in a sailor uniform.
God, that's way too vivid.
I try to think of something, anything, to distract me.
Go right to Hero.
The feeling of his hands on my back.
The taste of ChapStick on his lips.
The sound of his low, heavy groan.
My eyelids flutter closed and he's there. All long limbs and hard lines.
Intense dark eyes.
Soft sweet lips.
That—
"You're spacey today." Katherine pushes the door open.
"I'm always spacey."
"Yeah. But more today." She slides her purse onto her shoulder.
I step out of the car, push the passenger side door closed, hug my purse to my chest.
"Did you finally seal the deal?" Her eyes flit from me to the bar to our left. It's a hipster place in Fullerton. Divey on purpose. Big neon sign.
Complete lack of windows.
"The what?"
"You know what I'm asking."
"When would I have fucked Hero?"
"Only takes five minutes."
"I'm gonna do it right."
"Are you kidding? The way that boy is hung up on you. I'd be surprised if he lasted thirty seconds."
A laugh spills form my lips. My sister is certainly honest. She's wrong, but it's not like I really want to share those details.
"You're not objecting." She shakes her head. "Sad."
"Why do you want to know?"
"Curious."
"It was never a problem."
"So you're good with thirty seconds of jack rabbit?"
"Oh my God, Katherine. You're gross."
"I'm gross?"
I nod.
"Yeah. I kinda am."
Seriously. I try to feign irritation, but I can't. The question is weird. But it's almost sweet. "It would be flattering."
She scrunches her nose in distaste. "But unsatisfying."
"He'd get the job done after."
"Oh?"
"Yeah." My cheeks flush. "Can we not?"
"You have condoms?"
"Oh my God."
"I don't carry them anymore. But Matt does."
"No. I'm good." Really. I'm super good. I'm beyond good.
