"Hello ladies, how did you all sleep?" Connor asked while passing Mark the syrup.

We were all out at our normal Saturday morning breakfast at iHop.

Mark smirked at me for a second and then proceeded to eat his eggs.

"I slept fine." I replied with a tired smile.

"I don't see how, you kept us up all night with your weird noises." Callie stated while pouring creamer into her small cup of coffee.

Connor looked at me funny and I froze. Leave it to my friends to not keep their mouths shut. Mark spared me a worried glance and I didn't know what to say. Was this it? Is this the day that all of my dirty laundry will finally be aired out?

"Oh my gosh, Callie! Way to put Naveah's nighttime hobby's out in the open. I, for one, am all for masturbation. It's perfectly normal and healthy." Lucy smiled followed by a wink in my direction.

"Wait, but I..." I stuttered.

Lucy covered my own lie and she didn't even realize it. Man, I love her, which also makes me feel that much more horrible about the entire situation.

My best friend was lying for me and she didn't even know what she was lying for me about. If she knew it was to cover up phone sex with Mark, there was no way in hell she would have spoken up.

Before I knew it, the entire table erupted in a chain of laughter and my face turned beet red. I quickly held my head down and placed my cold hands around my warm cup of coffee. Even Mark was laughing, but I knew the real reason behind his smug face. He knows I wasn't masturbating last night. He knows the truth, which makes me want to leap across this table and smack him across the face.

However, I can't. It would cause suspicion. Why is my life like a soap opera?

"Babe... it's alright. No one is judging you." Connor smirked while reaching across the table to hold my hand. "I actually think that's really hot... though I wish you would've called me." He winked.

Mark laughed even harder and the entire table was staring at him.

"What's so funny?" Lucy asked.

"She's so pathetic that she has to masturbate when she's got a perfectly good boyfriend right here willing to do whatever she wants him to. Connor, bro, what does that say about you?" He laughed some more.

I could not believe he would be so mean to Connor. His smug face said it all, though no one knew the meaning behind it except for me. Connor's face hardened as he clenched his jaw.

"Mark, for once in your life can you shut the fuck up?" Connor warned.

"Alright fine. Damn why is everyone so caught up in their feelings today?" He sighed, taking another bite of his eggs.

"As I said, masturbation is perfectly healthy and normal and to answer your question Mark, Naveah couldn't have had Connor over because A. her parents would have killed her if they found out, and B. she had us sleeping over and that would be rude." Lucy stated proudly while giving Mark an icy stare.

"Yeah. Sure." Mark waved off.

When did breakfast turn into a heated discussion about masturbation? About my possible masturbation? I think this happened the moment I decided to fool around with the most vile and inconsiderate male in the entire universe.
