Casual Affair
“So, should I be worried?” she asked, still grinning as she offered me a soda. Her nails clicked against the can when she set it in front of me, and for a moment I thought I saw a glare flash behind her eyes, but then her smile hit me again full force.
“Worried?” I asked, hesitatingly accepting the can from her. I decided to wait to open it just in case I hadn’t hallucinated that glare and she had shaken it before handing it to me.
She giggled and sat across from me, daintily sipping on her Diet Coke. “You’re Elizabeth Grigsby, right?” she asked, and I warily nodded. “Have you ever heard of a List?”
I had heard of a few lists, actually. Grocery, play, and shitlist just to name a few. She really needed to be more specific. “Um, what list?”
She brushed her hair over her shoulder. “The List. It’s a list couples make of celebrities they’re allowed to bang without the other one getting mad.”
“Oh, that’s cool,” I said. I mean, not really. Infidelity was never really cool, but to each his own. Wasn’t my husband.
“Mmhm, it’s usually just in good fun. But, funny story, you’re actually one of the celebrities on Brendon’s list.”
