"Hold on, Mal." She squeals, "Stop it," in that please go voice.
That's more than I need to know about their sex life. Not that I can talk. Joel has been using my taste for bondage as a way to torture Piper since she was old enough to care.
It's August.
Autumn is two months away.
"Sorry." She lets out another dreamy sigh. "You know what it's like when you just have to torture a woman. Oooh, that Lacey girl was cute. Do you know where she got that dress?"
"No."
"Yeah. It would be weird if I wore your girlfriend's dress."
"Really?"
Her voice is quiet. "It could have worked."
"We're having fun."
"But you do like her?"
"I do."
She squeals. "I knew it!"
I let her soak in the joy for a minute. It's sweet that Piper wants me to find someone. It's not going to happen, but it's sweet. "I have to tell you something that you're not going to like."
She groans. "Then don't tell me."
"Let's conference call Ethan."
"He's probably hungover after last night."
"He should know his limits."
"He just got engaged! But, okay, I'll conference him. Hold on." She puts me on hold. A few moments later, the line clicks. "He's cranky."
"Fuck off," Ethan groans.
"At least we can tease Mal now. Wasn't Lacey cute?" she asks.
"Too cute for him. What's your game with that?" Ethan asks.
"No, no, he likes the sweet ones. More fun to 'break them' or whatever," she says.
"Who told you that?" Ethan asks.
"Who do you think?" she asks.
"Joel doesn't know shit," I say. "I want to get to this."
"You're never in a rush. Unless…" Piper squeals. "Oh my God, is she there? Did she sleep over? Is it that serious?"
"She's here," I say.
Piper squeals again.
Ethan groans. "She was smart with the video shit. That's what, a month away?"
