The Devil in Me

The Devil in Me Ch. 17

Chapter Seventeen:

Noah:

She is warm. Too warm.

My head rested on her shoulder, and I didn't want to move.

"What?" Jody asked, "I don't think any of us are virgins, right?"

Shay shifted under me. Was she nervous about me knowing if she was a virgin or not?

Wait, Jody wouldn't have said that if she didn't already know she wasn't one.

Why did I feel nauseous?

"No," I said, "I guess not."

I couldn't hide it in my voice.

I didn't want to know about guys she had been with before.

"You look like you get around," Jody said, "Both of you do, actually."

I looked like I got around?

"I'll take that as a compliment," Delaney said.

"Well, you are both good looking guys," Shay said, "It's hard not to wonder."

She wondered if I slept around a lot?

"Do you?" Jody asked, "Do you get around?"

"Surprisingly, no," Delaney said, "I haven't been with very many people at all."

"People?" Jody asked.

She was quick to pick up on his use of the word people, instead of girls.

"You've been with boys and girls?" Shay asked.

This was not a subject I wanted to discuss. We were heading towards a topic we weren't supposed to talk about yet.

"I have," Delaney said slowly.

"What about you, Noah?" Jody asked.

Shay straightened her back, and it forced me to adjust how I was leaning on her.

I sat back a little, and my eyes went to Jody.

"Have I been with men?" I asked.

She nodded. I could feel Shay's full attention on me.

"No," I said.

"Do you get a lot of female attention?" Jody asked.

"I do," I said.

I only knew that because of what everyone else tells me. Sometimes if it's really obvious, I'll notice.

"Do they get your attention?" Shay asked.

Delaney laughed, "He doesn't pay attention to anybody."

This unpleasant feeling settled in my stomach.

"Really?" Jody asked.

"Really," Delaney said, "I mean, he has friends and stuff, but I haven't seen him interested in anybody before."

Jody's eyes went to Shay.

Shay brought her legs closer to her middle.

I wasn't sure why I felt like I needed to wrap my arms around her, but I did.

My body moved forward, and I wrapped both of my arms around her stomach.

She let out a small sound, before leaning back into me.

"Already so adorable," Jody smiled lightly at Shay.

"Shut up," Shay mumbled.

"So, wait," Jody said, "You are, or you aren't a virgin, Noah?"
