I stared into my take-out container of Szechuan Pork and set it down next to me on the floor. “So, um, what was that?” I asked, watching her make love to another noodle. Was she really going to eat them one by one like that? Alex slurped the last of it into her mouth and licked her bottom lip. “What was what?”I nodded to the couch behind her. We’d set up a mini post-coital picnic on the carpet. “That.” She glanced behind me and tilted her head. “Aww…were you a virgin? Did I take your flower?” The tone of her voice clearly indicated that she was fucking with me. “That was called sex. You see, when two people like each other a whole lot, they come together and…”I kicked my foot out and jabbed her leg. “Shut up.”She gave me a teasing grin and plunged her chopsticks in for another noodle. I decided to try another tactic. “Where’s Grayson?”I swore her face turned a pale shade of gray, but she shrugged the question off as though I’d simply asked about the spiciness of her noodles.
