Chapter 14 - Nice Guy
"Did you have fun last night?" Katherine asked, setting down the plate of breakfast beside her before leaning against the couch, waiting for the information.
"Yeah, he seed like a nice guy." Lily shrugged. Katherine scrunched her brows in confusion. It either ant that Lily had not had a good ti. She definitely didn't like to hold back details and this was a trial at evading her questions.
"How bad was it?" Katherine groaned, wondering what was coming her way.
"Do you really want to know?" Lily replied, pain evident in her voice. She received a nod in reply and took it as sign enough to bombard Katherine with the details of her wretched ti. "It was his first ti picking up a girl from a bar and he kept telling how he had never done it before and that everything was 'so hot.' I tell you, I have never looked for Shakespeare in my one-night-stands, but a little more command over language would have been nice. Never hitting that again."
Katherine found herself reclined on the couch, unable to control the fits of laughter that escaped her.
"Look for English Literature majors, next ti. Or supply your partner with a dictionary so that they can find subsidiary words for 'hot'." She guffawed. "Did you have fun, though? Was it any good?" The shake of Lily's head made her go back to rolling in laughter. "A night well spent, huh?"
"Don't laugh at my misfortunes. It was horrifying. His peen was not pretty." Her pout was cute, but the story made more hilarity ensure.
"Why didn't you just ditch him for soone else?" Katherine asked, interested now. Lily could be ruthless when she rejected soone or snipped their advances at the bud, but here she was putting up with so guy whom she didn't enjoy spending ti with. There must have been sothing more to the story.
"He was a genuinely nice person. I didn't want to hurt his feelings by telling him to get the fuck away from my vagina!" The strip of bacon Katherine had started chewing flew out of her mouth and spattered onto the ground in front of Lily. She recoiled in horror and gasped.
"So dirty!"
"You made splutter! It's your fault!"
The banter followed but it was all fun and gas.
"But you don't do nice guys, what made you change your mind?" Katherine asked, finally, once they were done spewing playful insults at one another.
"He told about how ruthlessly his ex-girlfriend broke his heart and he caught her cheating on him. I felt so sympathy because Jonathan did the sa to you. I didn't want to abandon a poor child who just wanted to forget his ex!"
"Please tell you didn't have a romp with a person who you thought was like ," Katherine groaned in frustration. "You clearly don't like being the rebound." The guilty look on Lily's face made horror seep into her bones. "Don't tell … you gave him your number!" Lily cringed. It was admission enough to her grave mistake!
"Lily!"
"What? He was a poor child!" She was giving a guilty smirk. "It's not like we are dating!"
"If you et him again or talk to him, that ans you are dating him, right? You don't date nice guys." If Lily's savior complex had led to her reeling in strays from all walks of life, Katherine would consider herself one of the strays.
Katherine was in kindergarten and deathly afraid of rabbits. Lily was a schoolmate who was chirpy and nice to everyone, nothing like the savage Lily of the present. Their friendship began when a rabbit in the kindergarten jumped all over the place behind Katherine and Lily had to jump in and protect her classmate. They had been best friends ever since, and you could see that Lily was a gentle soul with a rough exterior. And she particularly loved Katherine, so she empathised with anyone who was in a bad position like her.
"It's wrong to have sex with a person who resembles your friend." She faked a shudder to emphasize her point.
"It's not like I was thinking of you," she said saucily. She let out a small chuckle. "I am not marrying him and having his babies, okay? I am just going to fix his broken heart and then shatter it to pieces again." She stuck her tongue out to enforce a point.
"And what about your twelve-year-old Cage Cavanaugh who you are exchanging nudes with?" The sly smile on Katherine's face irked Lily. She flew at her friend, aning to tickle her out of her words, but fell prey to her friend's fiendish tickling hands.
"You dare!" They fought gleefully. The contest lasted for a little ti.
"But no, what about the twelve-year-old?"'
"He is not twelve. He is at least our age because he seems to be a struggling model in the city. I just lucked out." Lily shrugged her shoulders.
"And you are letting Cage Cavanaugh run away because you found a broken soul that you need to fix?" The words now turned serious. It was a matter of ti before their conversation returned to being serious.
"I know it's not Cage Cavanaugh. You know I added those people as a joke; you don't need to worry, Kitty. I don't want to be the wife of a star or sothing of that sort."
That was a relief. Katherine patted her friends head and gave her a small portion of her breakfast to munch on.
