Hard Fucking Death Core

TWENTY-FOUR (Ruby POV)

"Tania, that's so wrong at so many levels that I don't know how I should explain it to you." I shake my head before looking for my lighter in my jeans pockets while my friends and our publicist chuckle staring at her assistant in disbelief. Suddenly, Iselen's hand appears in my field of vision holding my packet of cigarettes and shakes it in front of my face to remind me that I put the lighter inside. "Thank you, baby girl, and thank you for the great lunch. It was delicious."

"It's true," Madison leans back on her chair raising her glass of wine at my girl. "I don't know why we've been meeting in my house to eat pizza when Ruby's girlfriend is the best chef of this family. We'll come more often from now on."

"We needed some good home-cooked food to regain strength after our amazing, wonderful, epic first concert of the new tour in LA..." Zu raises her glass too and Lzzy and Taylor clap while Iselen gets up smiling, taking the dirty dessert plates helped by a maid.

"It's coffee and tiles time..." We all turn our heads to stare at her frowning, totally confused, while she laughs and hands out the cups. "It's a pastry that we use to eat after a festive meal, along with coffee and fruit liquor Italian limocello style, it's a very thin and crunchy butter cookie covered with sliced almonds and it looks like a roof tile."

"It smells heavenly," Lzzy whispers staring at the tray with lust. I light a cigarette and wait for Iselen to pour my coffee patiently while our publicist's assistant looks at me with a furrowed brow.

"I don't understand what's wrong, I think it was a generous gesture..." Zu snorts and bites her tile, Mads rolls her eyes hard before choosing a glass of pear liquor and I shake my head, dismayed.

"Seriously, what's wrong with straight girls? Do they brainwash you or something? Listen, Tania... Your husband loves to get oral sex, actually, all men love to get a good blowjob, but he doesn't like to reciprocate... It's okay, I guess, not everybody gets horny with the same things and it's pretty obvious he doesn't like to eat out a delicious, sweet, spicy, soft, juicy and hot as hell pussy..."

"Yummy..." Mads licks her lips and sighs dreamily.

"The lesbian in me doesn't understand it but I guess it's possible... So he's bought you one of those clit stimulators that are a trend right now. And that's okay too but it depends on how you propose it... If he had given you the gift explaining that, since he doesn't like to give you head, he's bought you a toy so you can have fun together, get kinky and horny together, taking things to another level together... TO GE THER, Tania." I leave my cigarette on the ashtray and take a sip of liquor, I'm starting to feel pretty upset. "But he hasn't done that, the jerk gave you a Satisfyer telling you to do your thing on your own but don't forget about his blowjob when you're done... and also you should thank him because he's bought you the most expensive toy in the market. Do you really think he's being generous? Because I get the impression that your husband is a selfish pillow princess... and he's not even a cute one."

"Well, you know how men are..." I'm about opening my mouth and starting to yell curses, probably ruining a 2 year friendship with this woman, when Iselen's hand on my shoulder stops me. My girl gives Tania her cup of coffee and smiles kindly before sighing.

"Listen, Tania, I was straight till some months ago and had a relationship with a boy that, well, wasn't that bad, at least in the beginning... Yes, I know, he was an asshole..." The journalist admits when she realizes that Zu has snorted, Lzzy rolled her eyes, Mads chuckled and Taylor is shaking her head staring at my girl in disbelief. "What I'm trying to say is that I have some experience in dating men and living with them and now I realize that I took a lot of things for granted thinking that boys are boys and they behave in a certain way... In this case, it's pretty obvious that your husband is being a jerk, I'm sorry if I'm too blunt, but I've also lived some situations, have forgiven some comments and overlooked some attitudes that had nothing to do with the fact that he was a man and I'm a woman but with basic human decency... Since I'm dating Ruby and have experienced the dynamics of a complex relationship with a woman, I understand that I was living through some situations with my boyfriend that weren't balanced or good for my mental health... And I don't think 'you know how men are' is a good excuse... We're talking about respect here."
