His lips are pressed against mine and his tongue and my tongue are becoming best friends.

His hands are removing my cover up and brushing my breast.

...and this is really, really fun.

I know what your thinking, what self respecting teenage girl makes out with a guy and he didn't even ask her on a date or to be his girlfriend.

I don't feel bad about it, really, because in the end I'm using him as much as he's using me.

He pulls away slightly our lips still brushing together.

"Are you sure?"

"Just take off your pants!"

There's no more talking after that.

"Oh my god!"

"Calm down Nina."

She really is a drama queen.

"You just had sex with Mason behind that boulder!"

"Why don't you say that a little louder so my dead grandmother can hear you?"

Nina gives me an apologetic smile before grinning.

"Sooooo, are you guys, like, together now?"

"No."

"No?"

"Yes."

"You're together?"

"No!"

"Then why did you say yes!?"

She was really annoying.

"I was saying yes to no!"

"What?"

I shook my head.

"I'm going home."

*

"You're home early."

"Wasn't really my thing."

My Aunt snorted and turned the volume up.

Sex in the City.

I will admit, I have a weak spot for Sex in the City, and I can't begin to understand why.

"Even geniuses like pointless things."

Did I say that loud?

"Yes."

"Damn."

"You said that out loud, too."

"I meant to."

"Oh...well watch your fucking mouth."

Like I said, she was crazy, and I was stuck with her until I graduated.

I sit on the couch and dig my hand into her popcorn bowl.

"Your Mom called."

And I care because...

"That's fantastic. When I was in the looney bin I would have loved to talk to her."

My Aunt laughed and I crack a smile.

I like that she can laugh at that, my Mom never laughed at the things I said.

We were both silent before she spoke again.

"What the doctors told her really scared her, ya know?"

"I know."

Because it scared me, too.
