"Yeah, you just seem… horny, I guess," she says.
"I was focused on finals."
She nods, accepting my answer, but not completely buying it. "Was it good?"
"It was." I didn't know sex could be that good.
"But…"
"But?" I ask.
"You don't look happy about this turn of events."
"He asked if I wanted to see him again."
She stares blankly.
I stare back.
"He was fantastic?"
"Yes."
"And you enjoyed his personality well enough?"
"He's sweet, yeah."
"So where's the problem?" When I don't respond, she moves forward with her assessment. "Oh, I get it. The good-girl thing. After casual sex, you can't face him again. You're embarrassed by your lust."
"I am not embarrassed by my lust."
"By the whole one-night thing. I get it. I had to get over it too."
Really? Jade was once embarrassed by her sexual appetites? That's hard to believe. "It's not that."
"Uh-huh."
"I'm not looking for a boyfriend."
"It doesn't sound like he's looking for a girlfriend."
"What if he is?"
"Did you tell him you want to keep it casual?"
"Yes."
"Then you've done your part."
Maybe.
"You don't have to admit it, but we both know you're horny now. And you love a regular thing."
"I do not."
"You eat the same breakfast every day."
"Lots of people do that."
