pattern doesn’t lessen the gross factor. In fact, it makes it worse. It’s like a paisley covered crime scene.,” Maddie bitched.
“That is disgusting,” Paige scowled.
“Yes totally disgusting… Speaking of crime scenes, my lower back probably looked like one last night,” Izzie said, furrowing her brows. They laughed at the segue.
“What?” Jane asked.
“The guy I hooked up with on my business trip pulled out, ripped off his condom, and came all over my back. I didn’t even know it was coming, no pun intended.”
“That is grotesque! A guy should always clear it with the participant before he gives a sperm spackling. That’s just disrespectful,” Charlie said seriously. Jane narrowly avoided spraying the table with the margarita in her mouth.
“Can we talk about something less depraved while we eat, please? I’m starting to lose my appetite,” Paige complained, even though she was the one that brought up pads int he first place.
Their dinner hit the table and Katrine couldn’t wait to dig into the ceviche she had ordered. She speared a huge slice of avocado and savored the creamy texture and the acidity from the fresh lime. Whatever the conversation, she hadn’t lost her appetite. She dove into the fish and scallops with enthusiasm.
“Okay, I have some topics I would like to discuss…One, Maddie had a date with Shawn, and two, Ian’s new girlfriend.,” Charlie said. Everyone seemed very interested in these items as well. Katrine quietly chewed her food and stayed silent. Should she let them in on what happened? She wasn’t sure, she kind of wanted to keep it to herself for now.
But these are my best friends.
They told each other everything. They might have some good advice, but did she want all of those opinions? Maddie took the cue and started to tell them a little about her date.
Thank you, Maddie! I owe ya one.
“So is he as sexy as he seems? That voice and those lips. Holy shit. I almost started dry humping his leg at the party,” Izzie said. Everyone else nodded. Shawn seemed to have acquired a little fan club.
“Yes, he is very sexy,” Maddie said, taking a bite of her dinner. Usually she spilt the beans about the guys she dated. Katrine knew this newfound stoicism meant her feelings for Shawn were different, or had the potential to be. Of course she told Katrine every detail, but with the girls she was keeping it close to the vest. Maddie had a little crew of her own, but she wasn’t sure that they knew, either. Maybe she didn’t want to jinx it.
“Is that all we get? What the hell, Maddie? I’ve been waiting all week for the deets!” Charlie yelled.
“Sorry, guys, not this time. Just know we had a great time and I’m going to see him again, okay?”
“Okay, sweetie. We get it,” Jane said, patting her hand.
“Okay? That was lame as fuck. Maybe we’ll get further with Ian’s new little girlfriend,” Charlie said, looking at Katrine.
“What?” Katrine asked obtusely.
“Don’t what me. You know what,” Charlie said, pointing at her with her fork. “You know him best and he must have confided in you. Come on, don’t leave us hanging like Mads did.”
“Well, he only told me that she’s an interior designer and her uncle is Ian’s boss. She seemed really nice and he seemed to like her.”
Crap, why did I use past tense?
“Seemed to like her as in no longer does, or you’re not sure?” Paige inquired.
Katrine sat quietly, not sure how to answer.
“Trine, spill it. You know something, it’s written all over your face,” Izzie pushed. Katrine looked at Maddie, who just shrugged her shoulders. She was getting no help from that corner.
“Seemed as in they’re no longer dating.,” Katrine said.
Okay, that should do it…
“Aaaaaaand?… If it was just that, you wouldn’t be acting so cryptic. Oh MY GOD, did you two finally get together?” Charlie gasped. The rest of the girls were wide-eyed and expectant.
Damn
