Sincerely, Vantae

"Hello?" wooshik waved his hand in front of my face. "Hello?"

"What?"

"Are you going to be my wingman tonight or what?" He sipped his drink. "I get the blonde and you get the brunette." He pointed his head toward the girls in the booth across from us.

"Not interested," I said. "But I'll stick around for another hour or so."

"Not interested?" He looked dumbfounded. "Do you see the brunette? Do you see her body?"

I looked over again and she waved at me, blushing.

"I do see her," I said.

"So, what's the problem? Has your mission to get laid as much as possible this summer changed between last week and now?"

An image from last night, one of lili straddling me in my car, crossed my mind. "Not really..."

"Good." He finished his beer and slammed the empty bottle onto the table. "Then be my wingman." He stood up and I followed suit, walking over to the other booth.

"Good evening, ladies." wooshik signaled to the waiter as he sat down. "I'm wooshik, and this is my good friend, vantae. Do you mind if we join you?"

They both agreed and I smiled my way through the first round of drinks and pointless topics, not paying any of them much attention. My mind was elsewhere, mainly on lili.

Ever since that day at the marina, We'd spent the last few nights at my place—watching her cooking shows and discussing random things like normal, but slipping in a brand new abnormal state of sex at the end of the night. Each and every time with her was more memorable than the last, and I'd never yearned to have someone so many times in a single night before.

Besides a few random messages she'd sent me this morning, we hadn't spoken much at all. She had an all-day cooking exam at the culinary school, and they'd told her that they wouldn't kick her out for a change.

Looking at my watch, I figured she should be home by now, so in the middle of the brunette telling me that she'd have her apartment all to herself tonight, I texted lili.

How did your test go?

I think I aced it.

Her response was instant.

Really f-ing aced it.

Good for you. Did you celebrate with your classmates yet?

Ha! You know everyone in the class hates me. LOL (I'm a "thief," remember?) I just came home and decided to bake myself an éclair.

You only baked one?

Yes. Only ONE. :) What are you up to?

Out with wooshik, role-playing wingman.

Okay.

Okay, what?

Nothing. How is it going?

You know you don't really care how it's going.

If I didn't, I wouldn't have asked... How. Is. It. Going?

It's going so well that I'd rather leave and come to your house to celebrate your exam with you.

Well, you can't.

And why is that?

Because I don't want company right now, especially not from some guy I slept with last night, some guy who is now being a wingman so he can sleep with someone else!
