tummy and swung her legs playfully against the mattress. “I’m so happy for you Siena. Do you think he’s a keeper?”
     
    I leaned against the couch armrest in thought. “I think he’s super young, and we most likely have nothing in common.”
     
    “Will you see him again?”
     
    I walked into the bathroom, and yelled behind me, “Yeah, maybe for a booty call.”
     
    “You’re shocking!” Jess squealed from the living room.
     
    “Learnt it all from you,” I called back closing the door behind me.
     
    A few minutes later…
     
    “It’s for you!” Jess winked, handing the phone to me, as I stepped out of the bathroom. She laughed, wiggling her tongue playfully between her lips. “He sounds totally doable—put him on a cracker for me! Yummo!”
     
    I shook my head as I tried to push her out the front door. “Shhhh! Jess! See you tomorrow.”
     
    She smiled, laughing, “Sure thing! That is, if you’re not all shagged out by Lambo boy and can’t walk by then.”
     
    I smirked, rolling my eyes. “Luv ya, Jess.”
     
    “Luv ya more,” she laughed as she ran down the stairs and away.
     
    I smiled to myself as I closed the front door, leaning my back up against it.
     
    “Hey baby boy, what’s up?”
     
    “Hello darlin’! How’d you know it was me?”
     
    My insides dropped to the pit of my stomach. I didn’t breathe, hoping that the silence would take away the situation—take away the voice at the other end of the line.
     
    “It’s Danny!”
     
    He sounded so relaxed, friendly, up beat—like he had always sounded prior to any of the sex. My god, the man had balls. I couldn’t believe that out of nowhere, and after all this time, he could just phone up like nothing had happened.
     
    My voice turned cold. “How did you get my home number?”
     
    He chuckled, “With much difficulty darlin’, but it was worth it. How are ya?”
     
    “I don’t know what you want me to say, Daniel. I’m fine. Life goes on.”
     
    “Have you been singing lately? I haven’t seen you in anything.”
     
    “Um, no I’ve taken a bit of a break from it. It’s expensive, and I just felt like I needed some down time. Singing is so emotional, and if you’re not in the right zone, you can end up crying for no reason at all.”
     
    There was silence. All I could hear was his soft breath falling down the line. It actually sounded like he was listening to me. Huh? Surely that wasn’t possible.
     
    “I miss ya, darlin’.”
     
    I was sterile. “And you’re calling because…?”
     
    He chuckled, “‘Cause I miss ya. I miss us. I think we really had somethin’ special; you made me feel young again.”
     
    I sighed, biting the inside of my cheek in the hope that a bit of pain would stop the tears from welling up in my eyes.
     
    “I don’t know what you want me to say. You lied to me; you hurt me. I’m done. I’m done with all of this. The flirting, the crap, the games. I’m tired. You and all of this make me so tired. I feel like I want to sleep for a thousand years. Just go to bed and sleep.”
     
    “Do ya miss me, baby?”
     
    I snapped at him, “Don’t ask me such personal questions. It’s really not appropriate, Daniel.”
     
    “So ya do?” he triumphantly answered.
     
    My knees buckled underneath me, and I slid down against the door, coming to an abrupt bump on the floor.
     
    I sighed as my chin started to shake. I had so many emotions welling up in my mind. Hearing his voice just made it all flood back, like I was with him only yesterday.
     
    “I’m gonna go.” My voice cracked through my words as I shut my eyes in hopelessness.
     
    “Did you hear about the Kardashian’s marriage?”
     
    I whispered, “Goodbye, Daniel.”
     
    He kept talking…
     
    “What they did was a massive publicity stunt! This sort of thing happens all the time, Siena. Sure I’m re-marrying her, but just ‘cause I am doesn’t mean we can’t be together.”
     
    Tears turned to
