“Holly, please get off your damn phone and help me clean up this classroom. I have a bottle of wine waiting for me at home,” I say tossing a block at her.
She looks up at me smiling. “Sorry, I was just sexting.”
“Who? And seriously, in the classroom?” I chide her, picking up the kids’ chairs.
Putting the phone down, she comes to help me. “It’s some guy I started talking with through my sister. He seems cool.”
I laugh and let her finish that while I get my desk in order. “So, you’ve never met him, but you’re sexting him?”
“Yep, that’s how I roll.” She picks up the rest of the mess these little terrors left and stands in front of my desk. “Hey, you have a date this weekend with Peter, don’t you?”
“I guess.” I shrug, erasing the chalk board.
I don’t even want to think about it. My track record so far is less than stellar, sex man, lemon teeth, and no show. If I told my mother this she’d think I was lying, it sounds that ridiculous. I canceled twice on Peter after the no show, but Holly and Jennifer convinced me to give it a shot. So even though I’m completely reluctant, I am going to do it.
“Come on. Just go into it not expecting anything,” she says, looking down at her phone again. I wish I could be like her with the sexting and sleeping around, but I’m not. I talk a big game, but that’s about it.
Grabbing my purse, I clear my throat. “I hate to interrupt you getting off, but are you ready to get out of here?”
We decided that I’d have her and Jennifer over tonight. We are going to order pizza, get drunk, and talk shit. Three of my favorite things. So, once I’m home I take a shower, put on sweats, then pull my hair on top of my head. I clean up the mess that Tenn and I always seem to leave, and after about an hour I finally sit down.
I let out a loud moan when I’m finally off my feet and Tenn walks through the door at that exact time, casting me a sneaky grin. “You moaning because you’re getting off thinking about me?”
I laugh and flip him off. “You wish.”
He walks into the living room covered in dirt, oil, and grease from work. His shirt is nearly black, and he has small holes in his knees from kneeling. I’ll admit it’s sexy to me, especially when he gets a small dirt smudge on his face pushing his hair back.
“I obviously need to shower. What are your plans tonight? You look like you’re ready for a date,” he says, laughing.
“If I could go on a date like this maybe it would happen more often.” I pull my bun tighter.
“I’d take you out like that. It’s sexy,” he says, shoving his dirty hands in his pockets.
“Yeah, right. Well I do have a date, but it’s with Holly and Jennifer. Pizza, wine, and gossip.”
“Super, I’m getting out of here before Holly gets here. She looks at me weird.” He shudders as he walks to his room.
I laugh and turn on the TV, waiting for them to get here. Tenn rushes out just in time because five minutes later the girls get there. We order the pizza, each have a glass of wine, and sit on the couch.
“So how did the sexting go?” I ask Holly.
“Who were you sexting?” Jennifer asks.
Holly gets a sly grin on her face and pulls her legs under her. “His name is Roy, and he’s packing.”
I fall into a fit of laugher, while Jennifer’s mouth drops open.
“He sent you a dick pic?” I ask, wiping my tears.
She pulls her phone out of her bra and pulls up the text. He did indeed send a dick pic and if that is him, he definitely has a meaty cock. Christ, thanks to my mother, now I keep referring to big cocks as meaty. Just another thing that I’ll have to complain about in therapy one day.
“Oh my God, why would he send that!?” Jennifer shrieks and turns her head.
I grab the phone from her and study it. “It’s a big cock. Are you sure it’s his?”
“You think I’m stupid? Of course it’s his, I made him take a picture of his comforter after he sent it,” she says, smiling wide.
“Kudos, my friend. I hope you get rammed with it soon.” I hand her the phone back.
