“You are the best!” I cried, jumping off the couch and hugging them both at the same time until they choked.
“Whoa, our Cassie is not a lover of great displays of affection,” Jane said with a narrow-eyed stare. “You okay?”
“I’ll explain everything. Come, come, and sit. You are not going to believe this.”
I scurried to the kitchen, grabbing glasses and iced tea for Jane, and then we were all sitting together on the couches, passing the cookie box around to each other.
“You are a saint, Jane,” I said, biting into the cookie with a sigh of relief. “So, here it is. I saw Jason today.”
“What?” The unified cry of my friends went up in the room.
“Why? What did he say? What didyousay? What was he doing?” they asked, one by one, and I waved a hand in the air.
“Okay, so you remember Brad, the guy I kissed.”
“Duh, who could forget it?” Sadie said, laughing.
“Well, apparently, Jason is Brad’s son.”
“No way!” Jane cried, picking up a throw pillow and throwing it at me.
“Yes, way.” I breathed out. “He was coming to see him, I guess. I have no idea why Jason was there. He told me he was estranged from his dad, and I never knew anything about him. Jason didn’t say anything to me besides looking surprised that I was there. But it’s worse, you guys. So much worse. The combination of it made me leave work, ‘sick’.
I groaned and put my face in my hands. No wine would ever erase the amount of embarrassment I experienced that afternoon.
“What is it, Cassie? Are you okay?” Jane’s voice had changed, and I shook my head.
“I don’t know if I’m okay, but Jason almost caught us.”
“Caught you?” Sadie repeated, lifting a brow.
“Caught me and Brad. Just before Jason came in, we were kind of making out, and he…he fingered me on the desk.”
“What?!” they cried again, this time bursting into laughter and clapping.
Sadie jumped up and did a little dance. “This is the best!”
“What? Why?!” I asked. “This is the worst! I’m so glad we were finished by the time Jason came in.”
“I’m not. That bastard hurt you, and he deserves to see that you’ve moved on.”
“Yeah, but to hisdad? I mean what if he thinks that I’m getting with his dad to like relive our old times? To like get him without really having him?”
“No way. And who cares what he thinks? He’s a dick!” Sadie said, still dancing a little. “I think it’s amazing! Even if he is a dad of a grown man, that scientist boss of yours is H-O-T. You should get what you deserve!”
I bit my lip, thinking that over. It had been the best orgasm of my whole life, and it was only his hands. I could only imagine what it would be like to have him inside me, filling me up, hitting that spot over and over again. I shook my head.
Stop fantasizing when people are around.
“But we work together. I mean I work under him.”
“You sure do,” Jane said with a wink, and I rolled my eyes.
“Come on, you guys! I was counting on you to help me be sensible about this! Don’t you think it’s weird that I was hooking up with my ex-boyfriend’s DAD?”
“No!” was the resounding answer.
Sadie cleared her throat. “Look. It’s not as if you knew he was his dad, so you were already wanting to do stuff with him before then. And it’s not weird. Jason was terrible, and he broke your heart. You do not have to care about him, and he’s not in your life at all.”
