Lauren
I walk through the wide-open
space that Honey uses to shoot her Desert Babies portraits. Families come from
all over Texas for her distinctive photos that feature babies in the desert
environment that surrounds Marfa. In the office, I find Honey seated at her
desk, feet up and keyboard on her lap. “Thank goodness it’s just you. I’m so
comfortable, and that’s a rare thing these days.”
Honey’s pregnant belly seems to
get bigger every day. “How is my nephew doing?” I drop into one of her visitor
chairs.
She lays her hand over the baby
bump. “I think he’s playing rugby today.”
“Ouch.”
“You said it. The feet to the
ribs are my favorite.”
“Won’t be long now, Mama.”
“I can’t wait. Blake is so
excited. He talks to him every night and tells him all the things he’s going to
teach him.”
“It’s great to see him so
happy.” During our senior year of high school, Blake was devastated by the loss
of his girlfriend, Jordan, in a car that he was driving when a truck broadsided
it. He’s never been the same, and only after he fell in love with Honey last
year did he seem to recover somewhat. “Both of you deserve everything you’ve
got now.”
Honey gives me an odd look.
“What’s the matter?”
“Why would you ask me what’s
wrong when I’m saying you and Blake deserve to be happy?”
“Because I know you, and as much
as I appreciate that, I can tell when you’re upset about something.”
That’s the thing about meeting
your best friends in kindergarten. No one knows you like they do. “I’m not
upset… I’m anxious.”
“About?”
“I have a date with Garrett
tonight. A real date, not the usual beer and wings.”
Honey lets out a giddy squeal
and claps her hands. “It’s about freaking time!” She puts the keyboard on her
desk and drops her feet to the floor so she can lean in for closer scrutiny.
“What brought this on? We all assumed you guys decided to just stay friends.”
“We did. We had. We… Well, it’s complicated.”
“How so?”
I bite my lip while trying to
decide how much to tell my best friend, who is also Garrett’s good friend. “We
sort of had sex six months ago.”
Honey stares at me, eyes agog.
“How can you sort of have sex?”
“We did it, but it was weird and
awkward and well… not good.”
“Ohhhh.” Honey taps her bottom
lip. “This is extremely surprising in light of his… well…”
“Reputation?”
Nodding, Honey says,
“Supposedly, he’s somewhat of a… um…”
“God in bed?” Girls we knew
growing up used to wax poetic about his skills even when we were still in high
school. Garrett thinks we don’t know this, but Honey and I are well aware that
more than one tourist has come to town for a roll in the sack with the guy
known as the Sex God.
“Yes! So, what the hell went so
wrong?”
“I have no idea. I’ve gone over
it and over it in my mind a million times, but it never makes sense. I adore
him, and vice versa. We’ve been hot for each other for ages. It should’ve been
off the charts. Instead, it barely made the chart, and it brought back a lot of
crap from when I was with Wayne and he would tell me I suck in bed.”
“Wayne is an asshole, and you do
not suck in bed.”
“How do you know that?” I ask
with a laugh.
“Because you’re gorgeous and
sexy and any man would be lucky to have you in his bed.”
The fear that Wayne is right
about me has been keeping me awake at night since the disaster with Garrett.
Though I’m touched by Honey’s unwavering love for me, I go with sarcasm to hide
my emotional response. “And you’re not even slightly impartial.”
“Not at all. It’s a well-known
fact that men who suck in bed frequently make their partners feel responsible
for their inadequacies. Clearly, Wayne passed off his own failings onto you,
and you can’t let him get away with that.”
“Where did you hear this
well-known fact?”
“Cosmo. Where else?”
Snorting with laughter, I say,
“Of course. Where else, indeed.” I run my hands over the skirt of my dress as
another thought occurs to me. “But what if Wayne was right and I do suck in bed? What if it was my fault
that it went so badly with Garrett?”
“Lauren! Stop this! It wasn’t
you. It was an off night. I can’t stand to see you doing this to yourself. If
you believe that crap, then Wayne wins, and he can’t ever win. I won’t allow
it.”
Honey’s fierce defense goes a
long way toward making me feel better, but I won’t truly believe it wasn’t me
until Garrett and I successfully close the deal.
