life. “Oh JESUS – ”
SCREECH!!! “You ARE GONNA GET US ARRESTED AGAIN,
WOMAN!!!”
    I laughed. I was seriously having SO MUCH FUN.
I couldn’t control myself.
    “ Nat and Josie DO NOT drive like
this – ” he yelped. “You’re so IRRESPONSIBLE!! So not like your
sister!”
    “ Sorry for that. I can’t help
it.”
    Ever closed his eyes. “I was about to say I
really dig it, but I’ve just changed my mind – ”
    We made it to the city (alive), me screeching
to a stop in that open air carpark in the empty lot near Mary St,
and Evvy opened the car door and fell on his ass onto the
ground.
    Oh my GOD, how I laughed. And laughed and
laughed and laughed.
    “ Fucking hell, woman, I’ve fallen
out the car, you drive so fucking mentally – ”
    I got out the car, doubled over, and came round
to him still on the ground. “Haha. HAHAHAHAHA! Let me, hahaha, help
you up –”
    “ Holy crap, I am DRIVING US HOME
LATER, WOMAN. Never again, NEVER AGAIN, am I getting into a car
with you behind the wheel!”
    “ Oh stop your moaning and let’s go
get drunk. Or, I can get drunk, since you’re suddenly
driving.”
    “ You’re such an ODD female –
”
    I’m getting a bit sick, actually, got a cough
(after just returning to work), and Evvy and the boys were SO SWEET
all night, taking care of me, hovering around me. They never once
left my side. If one group of them left, there was always another
bunch of them by my side.
    They’re really a bunch of sweet guys, for all
their carry on. Ben, the total sleaze who gets with three girls
every time they go out
     
    (Nat tells me all the goss – I’ve laid in bed
for six months, listening to all their stories, wishing desperately
to be able to have that kind of fun),
     
    would not leave my side for a second last
night. He kept trying to pull me away from Evvy all
night.
    And Ever said, “Stop trying to steal my woman!
Although, after her behavior, I’m not sure I’m up to
handling
    her –” and I whacked him.
    “ How weird is it? It’s like being
out with Nat’s twin!”
    “ Except she’s not swearing at us
like Nat does – ”
    “ Or hitting us – ”
    “ And Nat never wears pink –
”
    They made such a fuss over me. Felt so
good!!
    Eventually it was time to head home, and Ever
led me back to my beloved VN

    (will never get sick of saying VN),
     
    and looked so damn sexy behind the wheel of my
new baby.
    For all of his screaming earlier, he really let
it rip at one stage, coming out of the city. “Now this is how you
drive,
    woman – ”
    His driving impressed me. He’s like a V8
supercar driver.

    (that’s so hot!)

    When we got back here, Ever came upstairs with
me. He stepped into my unit, took one look around, and went, “Oh
dear GOD, this is scary. I feel like I just stepped into a serial
killer’s lair.”
    “ Oh, stop it. It’s just a bit of
pink.”
    “ A BIT of pink? No no, this is like
a flamingo exploded in here – ”
    Ever stood around for ages, staring at
everything, poking at everything, reading all my quotes on the
walls –
     
    “And I knew, love would tear you apart”
(Malibu, Hole…possibly stolen from Kurt Cobain after she killed
him, but no matter, I love her) and “I feel so far from where I’ve
been” (You Were Meant For Me, Jewel), and (my favourite) “This
isn’t some funk I’m in…this is my personality” (‘Dawson’s
Creek’).
     
    “ Is this from what you’ve gone
through?” he asked me, pointing to the quotes framed on my
walls.
    I glanced up at them, suddenly feeling a bit
sad. “Yeah…”
    Ever gave me this look, I can’t describe it.
Like he got it, he appreciated it, even. “They told me, you know.
Nat and Dan. All about Nat’s ‘wild’” – he used finger quotes –
“sister, all the crazy things she does, all the pink. The trouble
you get into. The bad boyfriends.” He turned to face me. “But they
didn’t do you justice. There’s a weird like DEPTH to you. And
innocence. Under
