Proactively waiting isn’t
my thing. I can admit that. So when Farrow unwraps a piece of gum and tugs open
the fridge, I ask him, “Need help?”
He chews his gum slowly and glances at me in a way that
reminds me he’s twenty-seven. I’m twenty-two, and he’s more than capable to do
shit himself.
Farrow starts to smile. “It’s cute that you think I need
help getting eggs.” He grabs a carton and kicks the fridge closed.
“You could’ve dropped the fucking eggs.” I’m fighting a
stupid battle. And I grimace-smile which makes me want to poke my own eyes out.
Farrow pops his gum. “You mean you would’ve dropped the eggs.”
“Did I? Pretty sure I meant you could’ve.”
Farrow sets the carton by the sink. “I have steadier hands
than you.” He leans close and whispers huskily, “You’re not beating me at
this.”
I shake my head on instinct. When it comes to Farrow,
boyfriend or not, I don’t want to concede that fast. “It’s not proven yet.”
He rolls his eyes into a smile. “Hold out your hand.”
I extend my hand, palm-down. Wondering how he can discern
any shake just by sight.
Farrow rotates my wrist. “Like this.” And then he smashes an
egg right in my palm.
Don’t smile at him.
Don’t smile at him. “Thanks for that,” I say sarcastically, hand dripping
in broken eggshell and yolk.
“Anytime.” He laughs, and I act quickly and wipe the runny
egg onto his black V-neck, feeling the ridges of his six-pack beneath.
Farrow props his elbows on the sink and actually lets me use
his shirt as a towel, even while he’s wearing the thing. Christ.
He’s a Grade A sexy asshole.
