Do I really need to explain my sexual orientation to Jana Bagger? 

And if so, what would I say? Would I tell her I kissed a girl? And liked it? 

I could say that, because I did kiss a girl. 

My best friend, Sophie Alexander. In a limousine last month.

And I did like it. 

To be completely truthful, I kissed her a lot.

Yup, pressed the button on the arm rest and waited till the privacy panel was completely up. Then Sofe and I fooled around on the back seat for more than an hour.

What do I mean by “fooled around?”

We…you know. Did a few things. 

To each other.

You know, with clothes on. 

And without. 

It was all very experimental. 

I mean, I knew what I’d find under Sophie’s clothes, it’s just that I wasn’t sure what I’d do when I found it. 

When I found them, I mean. You know…the different things I uncovered.

Under her clothes.

Anyway, I wasn’t sure what to do, so I took a cue from Sophie, who seemed to know exactly what to do with what she found under my clothes.

And then I sort of—you know—did the same things to her. 

Which was pretty much…everything.

As far as I know.

…And I liked it.

But…we haven’t done those things since, even though we live together. 

Nor have we talked about it.

Maybe it’s a limo thing. 

Maybe it’s something else. 

In other words, I’m still confused. 

It’s…

It’s a long story. Even Jana doesn’t want to hear it. If she did, she wouldn’t be changing the subject. 

She says, “My husband Max owns another house?”

“Yes. A very nice one.”

“For how long?”

“According to the deed, three-and-a-half years.”

“That doesn’t make sense. Darcie’s only worked for him a few months.”

“Four months next week,” I say.

“Do you have proof he fucked her on Tuesday?”

“No.”

“Maybe he had another reason to meet her at the Colony Motel.”

“Maybe they were planning a surprise party for you!” 

She scowls. “Don’t be flippant. Although a surprise party makes more sense than your claim they were fucking in a motel room.”

“How so?” I ask, noting the frequency with which she drops the “F” bomb. 

“If he’s putting her up in a house, why not fuck her there?”

“Probably because of her mother.”
