One of the Guys. [ON HOLD]

I've Never Dated a Girl...

Olivia.

Olivia exited the bathroom forty minutes later after having taken a shower and blow drying her hair before shoving it into her wig. She looked at herself in the mirror once just to make sure that nothing was off about her guy apparel.

When she walked into the room she was pleasantly surprised to see that Cash was gone. Landyn didn’t look at her any differently which mean that Cash hadn’t told. She pulled open a drawer to her dresser and pulled out a pair of white socks. Landyn sat up in his bed as he eyed Olivia. She felt self-conscious as she slipped on her socks.

“What?” She nearly snapped.

Landyn’s head tilted to the side as he peered at Olivia’s feet. “Your feet are incredibly small dude.”

“Yeah and?”

“You must have an equally small penis.” He stated bluntly.

Olivia felt a rush of heat in cheeks at his words. How crass. She thought.

“Sh-Shut up! It’s a very sensitive subject man!”

She knew better than to deny his accusation; Tanner had prepped her for it. He had warned her that if a guy questioned her penis size that she should never ever, ever deny it’s smallness (or in her case, her nonexistent one) because some guys are ballsy enough (no pun intended) to ask a guy to prove them wrong. Clearly proving such things would be impossible for her.

Landyn walked over to her and clapped her on the back with a wide grin. “It’s okay man, your secret’s safe with me.”

Olivia looked at him warily. “Somehow I highly doubt that.”

Landyn’s jaw dropped as he placed a hand over his heart. “Wow, have you no faith in me Oli? I mean we’re roommates after all there has to be some kind of trust between us.”

“Um not to be rude or anything, but I’ve known you for less than seven hours so…”

“Ah I see how it is.”

Olivia sat on her bed and pulled out a pair of Vans from underneath. “How what is?”

Landyn gave Olivia puppy-dog eyes as he jutted his bottom lip out into a sad pout. It was by far the cutest thing she had ever seen. “Someone bwoke wittle Owi’s heawt and das why he can’t twust no one.”

Olivia bit back a smile and tried her best to look perturbed as she slipped her sneakers on. “Uh no; I don’t date girls.” She said without thinking. By the time she realized what she had said it was already too late.

Landyn’s face totally transformed. Gone was the pout and puppy-dog eyes, and there in its place was a look of utter astonishment. “Whoa, I definitely didn’t expect that, but you know what?—I’m totally cool with it bro,” He got into a fighting stance. “But you put the moves on me and I’ll have no problem kicking your ass.”

Olivia blushed a bright red again. “I didn’t mean it like that.  All I meant was that I—I—” What was the best way to explain this without everything coming out wrong? She hung her head in mock shame. “I’ve never been on a date with a girl.”

It wasn’t a lie, but somehow it felt like it was. She had been on dates before with guys, but all they wanted was to cop a feel, not have an actual intellectual conversation with her. She’d never dated a girl, although she and Josie considered it once since guys were such douches. Essie had made some comments during the discussion, but none of them had anything to do with what they were talking about since she was too immersed in reading her copy of Star.
