When she was done drying off, Teresa realized she still didn’t know where her clothes were.
She walked downstairs, saying as she descended the steps nude, “Mal, I don’t know where my clothes are.”
When she was nearly down, she saw both Dens and Anmarie were sitting in the living room.
“Oh, shit, y’all,” Teresa said. “I’m sorry.” She covered her nipples with one arm and her bush with the other.
“Ain nuthin’ we ain’t seen before, Tee,” Anmarie said, then smacked her gum.
Dens smiled but didn’t say anything, looking somewhat stiff and rigidly upright on the ell-shaped couch.
Teresa smiled, and waved, then realizing she had just flashed her bush, said, “Shit.” She hurried into the kitchen, where Malliry was making a batter for weed brownies.
“Where are my clothes, Em?” Teresa asked.
“How the fuck should I know?”
“Fuck. Anmarie and Dens are both out there.”
Malliry smiled. “Yeah, I know.” She smoothed out some of the lumps, then said, “I know how I’m getting fucked tonight.”
Teresa giggled, then asked, quieter, “What do you mean?”
“I mean he’s gonna pretend like I’m you. Or maybe all of us together. He tends to get real jack rabbity on those nights. Then comes real hard, like a shitload of come, then passes right the fuck out.”
“Really?”
“Oh yeah. Happens a lot.”
Teresa looked into the living room, saw Anmarie and Dens talking, but couldn’t make out what they were saying. She leaned in closer to Malliry and asked in a whisper, “Y’all fantasize about me a lot?”
Malliry’s smile widened, and she nodded.
“Like, how often?”
“Oh, I don’t know. Not like every night. But it could happen any night.”
“Really?”
“Oh yeah. He’s way into you, girl.”
Teresa blushed, which was rare. “Damn. I’m, like, flattered as hell.” She wanted to add that it didn’t have to stay a fantasy, but found she had little nerve all of a sudden.
Malliry looked into the mixing bowl, started stirring. “I mean, I am, too. Obviously.”
“Obviously,” Teresa said reflexively. They kissed and flirted a lot, but she didn’t know it was like this.
“I’m a little embarrassed now,” Malliry said.
“Wait, why?”
“I dunno. It’s just very intimate, you know?”
“Totally. But it is totally cool, man. Like, seriously. I am not at all upset or offended. I am super super flattered. Like, really.”
“Do you think Kate would be mad?”
Teresa really didn’t know. “I really don’t know, dude. Kate is … mercurial.”
They both laughed.
“I know she thinks Dens is cute. I tried to get her off once talking about it, but she shut it down. Said she didn’t like to think about our friends in that way.”
Teresa sensed that the comment might have shifted Malliry back to unease, so she added, “But, you know, she has totally jacked off to Anmarie before.”
Malliry opened her mouth wide. “Really?”
Teresa felt bad for telling Kate’s business, but it was true. “Yeah. Totally. She thinks she is a total babe.”
“Do you? Like, would you want a threeway with her?”
“Who? Me and Kate and Anmarie?”
“Yeah. Who did you think I meant?”
Teresa wanted to tell her, but didn’t. Instead she said, “I mean, clearly Anmarie is a babe. There’s no denying that body. But I dunno. She’s more like a sister to me. So it would be a bit weird, I think. For me. But it doesn’t bother me that Kate digs her. I dunno. That’s weird, huh?”
“No, not at all. Least not to me.”
Anmarie called from the living room: “Mah ears are burnin’, y’all!”
“Fuck,” Teresa whispered.
Malliry waved it away. “It’s fine. Why don’t you just wear something of mine. Or Dens’, whatever you want.” Then she shouted to the living room, “Denny, you’re cool if Tee borrows some clothes, yeah?” She winked at Teresa and smiled.
“Yes, of course!” Dens replied loudly. “Whatever you want, Tee! Help yourself!”
Malliry leaned in close to Teresa and whispered, “He’s totally going to be sniffing them after and jerkin’ it.”
“Ew,” Teresa said and scrunched up her face.
Malliry laughed.
