how everything in the universe works,” I shrug. Remy laughs and twirls her hair around her index finger again but this time it seems much less calculated and more out of habit.
“Oh, is that all?” she says, sarcastically.
“So what else? Tell me about your sister.” I reach down and pull her feet up off the floor and into my lap and start to rub them. She nestles down onto the couch to get comfortable.
“Well she’s my twin, and she’s a lesbian,” she shrugs. I roll my eyes.
“No shit Sherlock.”
She kicks me playfully.
“I don’t know, she’s the best. She’s been my best friend my whole life. Growing up we pretty much only had each other and she’s always been this amazing, strong woman who I wished I could be. She’s the one who wanted to come to college here in Colorado, I just followed her. I didn’t care much where I went as long as I could get the hell away from home.”
Bad home life. That explains the low self-esteem. I want to pry further, but it seems like she’s intentionally leaving out the specifics. I don’t want her to shut down and go back to trying to seduce me to avoid getting real.
“That’s great. I always wished I had a sibling. I’m an only child, so it was always mom and I. She’s an amazing woman. She worked her ass off to provide for me and she’s always been there for me, no matter what,” I clear my throat to rid my voice of the thick emotion settling there.
I look over at Remy and I see that ‘aw he loves his mom’ look that girls always get when I talk about my mom. If only I had known what a panty dropper that was back when I was in high school. Not that I had any trouble getting any ass in high school. Not that I have any trouble getting ass now. This celibacy is entirely self-imposed.
“That’s really sweet,” she says, a faraway look in her eyes.
“Do you have any other siblings?”
“I have two half-brothers. My dad took off as soon as my mom told him she was pregnant, so she spent my whole life going from one husband to another. Husband’s number two and four both got her knocked up and took off before their kids were even born. Although, to husband number four’s credit, he does still call his kid from time to time.”
I can feel a sad look cross my face as I try to imagine why a man would choose not to know his children.
“Favorite movie?” I say changing the subject that’s clearly become a bit too heavy.
“Fight club,” she responds instantly.
“No shit? Me too.”
Remy’s phone buzzes and she reaches for it, a warm smile spreading across her face. I raise my eyebrows in question.
“Nikki is just making sure I got home safe…” she smiles a wicked smile and bites her lip.
“And…?” I prompt.
“And, she reminded me to ice my vag after the big, burly cowboy fucks me raw.” she starts to laugh and types a response. Great, now I can’t get rid of the image of taking her hard against the wall until she can’t walk straight for a week. I adjust my growing erection and clear my throat again.
“Just so you know, I now see how entertaining it is to make you uncomfortable. Therefore, it is my new mission in life to make you get that little wrinkle between your eyebrows and provoke all kinds of deep throat clearing.”
“You’re a cruel woman,” I inform her with mock hurt in my voice.
“So where are you from?” she asks.
“Originally from Texas, but my mom and I moved to Boulder when I was 15.”
Her eyes light up.
“Texas? So you really are a cowboy.”
I chuckle, moving my hands up to massage her calves now.
“Houston darlin’. I’ve never been on a ranch, or even touched a horse.”
She looked a bit disappointed.
“But I have worn a cowboy hat.”
“Mmm, sexy.” she said, flashing me a sexy smile.
“Darlin’,” I say in a warning tone.
“Hey, you want to watch Fight Club?” she asks, jumping up to grab the movie, not bothering to wait for an answer. Once she has the movie started she
