dating?”
“Dating?” I ask. “Wait, so it’s official?”
Bridgett gives me a duh look. “Two weeks now. I thought you knew…”
“I so didn’t. I mean, I did notice you two were fighting less and making out… a lot…” This makes me smile. “But I’m so happy! Finally. And I totally approve .”
“I need a boyfriend,” Stacy says. “How is it that both of my little sisters are going to be married before me?”
“Whoa,” Bridgett says. “Who said anything about marriage? Alec and I are just dating.”
Alec puts his arm around Bridgett. “I don’t know… I think we’d be good married.”
“After a few years, I’ll think about it. And don’t even think about asking me before I’m twenty-one,” she says sternly.
“How long has it been since you’ve had a boyfriend?” I ask Stacy.
She coughs. “Umm… Like… Five years…”
“Five years? Why so long?”
“Anna didn’t like him…”
I did the math in my head. Anna was four year old then. I look at her.
“Fine, I didn’t like him with Anna. He just wasn’t good with kids.”
“Wait, wait, wait…” Alec holds up his hand. “You’re telling me you haven’t had sex in five years?”
Stacy’s cheeks turn pink. “Actually, we didn’t date long enough to get to that point. It’s been about ten years now.”
“I would die,” Alec says dramatically. “Bridgett is making me wait, and it’s killing me.”
“You’ll live.” Bridgett rolls her eyes at Alec.
“We have to get you a boyfriend,” I say. I too can’t believe she’s gone ten years. I can’t even go a whole day without sex with Stephan.
“Is Chris Hemsworth single?” Bridgett asks dreamily.
“Seriously? Again with Thor?” Stephan shakes his head. “What is it with your family’s unhealthy obsession Thor?”
“He’s married,” Stacy says, almost sadly. “If he wasn’t, I would have already asked you to introduce me.”
I can’t help but laugh at Stephan’s expression. “You’re a boy. You can’t possibly understand.”
“What about Channing Tatum?” Bridgett asks.
“Married,” Stacy answers.
Alec rolls his eyes. “Seriously, I am out of here if you guys keep talking about hot guys .”
“I’m with you.” Stephan gets up from the table, and he and Alec go into the living room where Mona, Ethan, and Anna are playing X-Box.
“Have you used online dating sites?” Bridgett asks.
“No way. No telling what kind of creeper I would meet online.”
“You don’t need an online dating site,” I say. “You’re twenty-six. You are still young and hot… You know, California guys are hotter. I just lucked out with Stephan. You should totally move to Cali.”
“It’s so expensive,” she answers. “Besides, I’m in the middle of a school year. I can’t just quit my job, and pack up Anna…”
“Wait until the summer,” I say. “You can get a job teaching out there, and you can live in my pool house.”
“Her pool house is bigger than this house,” Bridgett tells her.
Stacy considers my words. “I’ll think about it. But I thought you were coming back here after your tour…”
“I’ll probably be in LA for a while. I really enjoy my job a lot more now that I’m not being bossed around,” I say. “I’ll probably slow down a bit so I can enjoy some time with Stephan, and you two. But I am not sure I was to live next door to the devil… Sarah would become a problem if we lived here.”
“So what’s the deal with you and Alec?” Stacy asks Bridgett. “From the commercials of the documentary, I was under the impression that you two hated each other. I guess things have changed.”
Bridgett grins at the mention of Alec. “He is different than what I thought. And I don’t know if he’s the one , but I do know that I never felt this way about Martin. I really think I’m starting to fall in love with him.”
“Is it sad that I am jealous of two nineteen year olds?”
Bridgett and I laugh.
