Holden:

Actually, normally I’d get lobster. But then I’m afraid my kisses might kill you.

There was a pause and three dots above her name before finally:

Katherine:

Your kisses might kill me anyway. Especially if we’re still only kissing.

My smile grew. My girl was getting braver. And naughtier.

Holden:

We have done way more than just kiss and you know it.

More silence. Three dots appeared then disappeared multiple times before another text finally came through.

Katherine:

And yet, I’m still a virgin.

Then a picture of her torso to toes came through of her wearing the heels.

The heels…

and a pair of panties.

That was it.

My eyes drifted shut and I clunked my cell phone to my forehead. This girl was going to fucking kill me.

Holden:

What time is your audition? I asked, hoping for a change of subject.

Katherine:

2:30

I checked the time really quickly on my phone. She has an hour.

Holden:

I’ll pick you up at the New World Stages after. Birthday extravaganza starts soon!

Katherine:

=) Okay. Nice change of subject, btw.

I set my phone off to the side and eyed the mini fridge I kept in the corner of my room.

God I wanted a drink.

I wanted a drink more than I probably should for the middle of the afternoon on a weekday.

But what could it hurt? I was a fucking college senior and soon enough I’ll be in law school, stuck studying constantly for a career I don’t even want.

I pushed off my couch and grabbed a beer from inside and popping the cap off.
