After dinner, Lexi brushed her teeth in the bathroom. She'd squeezed a travel-sized mouthwash into her purse and felt a sting as she gargled.
In the quiet, she imagined another girl walking in. They'd smile. And without a word, she'd know Lexi was trying to calm down the butterflies in her chest.
What the girl wouldn't know is that the man waiting back at the table would only be the second Lexi'd ever fucked. Six years with her college sweetheart had come crashing down just three months ago.
Sex was on her mind, and not just from a lack of it. Stories from her friends--of edging, "good girl", even choking--felt like myths. Like how a middle schooler would be astonished hearing about a simple blowjob. Lexi didn't need the mindblowing orgasm or the studly guy. Tonight, she just wanted a hot, throbbing cock inside her and two hands on her body. A whisper in her ear.
As she made her way back to her seat, the waitress slid the vinyl checkbook back to Angelo. Lexi let out a fake "Oh!" as she searched for her card.
"I already got it," Angelo said, pocketing his card. She admired his hands as he scribbled on the receipt. Strong, but nimble. As if the mere pressure of his two fingers could force her soul out of her body.
Lexi had barely sat down before Angelo reached for his coat. She found herself doing the same.
