I park the car in front of the restaurant and unbuckle my seatbelt, tugging the zipper back up. Lola reapplies her lipstick and straightens her dress, shooting me a smirk when I run my hand through my hair to sort it back as it was—before, I had pulled it in frustration as she teased me with her mouth. I climbed out and rounded the car to open her door, helping her out with a hand around her wrist. She stands on her tiptoes and bites my earlobe, pulling back quickly before it fully registers on my mind.

"Come on, devil child." I admonish and set my hand on her lower back, grinning when she elbows me as my hand drifts a little lower.

The restaurant is almost empty and we take a bench in the far corner. I wave for the waiter as Lola settles in her seat and crosses her legs, eyeing the menu with an eager expression.

"I'll take the prawns." She hands him the menu.

"Me too," I sit down and unbutton my jacket. "But I want something to wash it down."

The waiter nods and heads off, and I turn my head to watch Lola closely, trying to figure out how things changed so suddenly. We were almost lovers now more than just sex buddies, and I wondered whether she took notice or she was just oblivious.

"When was your first time?" I blurted and her eyes widen, her smile astonished.

"First time...having sex, you mean?" When I nod, she shakes her head with an amused-horrified expression. "It was my eighteenth birthday and he was a school jock. We hooked up in the middle of my party and I was slightly drunk. It hurt like a bitch but I had come twice before he came inside me. I was paranoid about protection—since we didn't use anything—and he had the courtesy of taking me to the hospital afterwards. And that's when I took my first birth control shot."

I winced sympathetically and laughed despite myself. "It hurt because he was big or because it was your first time nevertheless?"

She wrinkled her nose, shrugging her shoulders. "He was thick I suppose, and somewhat long. The discomfort was devastating. What about you?"

I laughed at the memory and leaned across the table to speak without raising my voice. "We were in her parents' house. They were right downstairs and we were in the hallway. She was squeaky and wild, and I was horrified as much as I was excited. She was crazy—literally—and I had to keep my hand over her mouth or otherwise we would've been caught. I ended up jumping from her window when her dad started yelling downstairs."

"Did he see anything?" she asks, oblivious to the waiter as he placed our food on the table. He shot us a bland smile and left.

"She was half naked if I remember correctly, clad only in her shorts. She had an impressive pair of tits actually. Her dad had to be livid."

Lola narrowed her eyes at me and shook her head, muttering a pig under her breath before she started eating. I eyed her with amusement for a moment before I dug in myself, humming in appreciation. The prawns were delicious.

"Did you come?" she asks out of nowhere and I almost choke.

"Of course I did," I wipe my mouth and sip from my drink. "We both did. It was an ego-boost when she came under ten minutes."

"I bet she was desperate." Lola snickered and I grinned, shaking my head.

"She was horny."

I was surprised when I couldn't find Charlotte in the flat, and was more surprised and concerned when she wasn't answering her phone. I called Lola and asked her if she were at her flat, but she said she hadn't seen her since she came back from work.
