time for a relationship because I was concentrating on my career. I see how it is,” Sienna said.
“It's not like that, you know what I mean. It's different for us females. Speaking of which, how's Jesse?”
“He's great. Everything's going really well. He and a couple of his mates have gone to Boston for the weekend, some motorbike show or something.”
“Don't you get scared riding on the back of that thing?” Ivy asked.
“Well, first I was afraid, I was petrified ...” Sienna said, singing the lyrics to Gloria Gaynor's I Will Survive.
“Hun, I wouldn't hold my breath on winning a Grammy based on that performance,” Ivy laughed.
“You're such a bitch!”
“Yeah, but what are friends for, right?” Ivy teased.
“In all honesty, it's actually not that bad. Yeah, at first it was terrifying, I would scream at the top of my lungs, and wrap my hands around Jesse's waist and squeeze him tight. I would swear and curse Jesse for making me get on. But then after a while I got used to it. Now, each time we ride down the highway I just sit back, relax and enjoy the thrill of it all.”
“God, I hate when these things are so hard,” Ivy said, carving into her steak.
“Excuse me? Hun, keep your sex life in the bedroom, please. I’m wearing my good top and I don’t want to get it dirty.” Sienna said, looking at Ivy mortified.
“Huh? Oh, and I’m meant to be the perverted one? I was referring to the steak, Sienna.”
“Of course you were,” Sienna replied, still looking at the menu.
By the time Ivy had finished her steak, she had no room for desert, so she ordered a coffee instead.
“You said things were going great with you and Dick?”
“Yeah…they are.”
Sienna looked at Ivy, she knew that tone, Ivy was keeping something from her.
“Ivy?”
“What?”
“What aren’t you telling me?”
“Huh? Nothing,” she replied, distracted.
“Ivy. This is me you're talking to. I know when something’s up.”
“It’s nothing, I’m okay.”
“No you're not, something’s up.”
Ivy took a deep breath, she was really nervous, but she knew that Sienna wouldn’t shut up unless she told her what was on her mind.
“It’s Dick.”
“What about him? Oh no, don’t tell me the two of you have broken up?”
“No, it’s nothing like that. It’s just…” she struggled to finish the sentence, she turned away, avoiding eye contact with Sienna.
“Ivy!”
“The thing is, like I said, things are good between us, great even.”
“So then, what’s the problem?”
“I’m really nervous, Sienna.”
“About what?”
Ivy looked at Sienna, her eyes were serious.
“Sex.”
“What? Wait…Ivy are you telling me that you're still-”
“Oh god no! That’s not what I meant.”
“Phew!” Sienna said, relieved. “Then what’s the problem?”
“The thing is, it’s been so long since I’ve had sex. I mean, the last time I was with a guy I was a lot thinner. I’m a lot more conscious about my body now, I don’t look how I used to, and I’ve put on a few pounds since then.”
Sienna giggled, a little too loudly and Ivy stared at her.
“See, I knew you would laugh, this is the exact reason why I didn’t want to tell you,” Ivy was annoyed.
“Oh, Hun, Shut up! I’m not laughing at you. Is that the only thing that you're worried about?”
“What do you mean, the only thing? It’s a pretty big deal if you ask me. Dick’s going to take one look at my body and be completely turned off.”
“If he loves you, then no he won’t. Babe, looks aren’t everything.”
“Sure, that’s easy for you to say, you’ve been gorgeous your whole life. You’ve never had to worry about your image or getting a man. Dick is the best thing that has happened to me in a very long time and I don’t want to lose him.”
Sienna pulled her chair closer to Ivy and looked up at her; “Ivy, listen to me, Dick likes you, he really likes you. If he doesn’t like you for the beautiful woman
