A little offended.
10:45pm
Johnny steps over the puke, avoiding getting any on his velvet shoes,
and takes my hand. “I’m surprised you don’t puke glitter, Sparkles. Let’s
get you upstairs and into bed.”
I hear Betsy mutter to Danielle, “Probably what got her into trouble in
the first place.” Then they both giggle.
To this, I laugh.

“The it’s a boy comment was brilliant,” Laurent says, following us.
“And Betsy sucks.”
“She likes Beckham, thought he liked her back, and now that she knows
he doesn’t, she’s upset. And most girls can relate. But she shouldn’t take it
out on me. So, while I sympathize with her, I also agree that she sucks.”
Johnny leads me into his room, flips his covers back, and motions for
me to get in his bed.
I don’t argue, just slide between his sheets.
Then I run my fingers across them because they are so soft. “Laurent,
come feel these.”
He sits on the bed carefully, probably because he thinks I might puke
again, then caresses the sheets.
“Why don’t my sheets feel this way?” he wonders.
“Well, first of all,” Johnny says, “yours are probably just made of
cotton. These are custom-crafted from the finest merino wool, backed by
my signature silk paisley, then added to a thousand-count Egyptian cotton
sateen sheet.”
I look at him. “I’m totally in love with the embroidery at the top. It’s
gorgeous, and it shines in the light like gold.”
“That’s because it is,” Johnny replies. “Twenty-four karat gold from my
family’s mine is woven into the fabric.”
“Amazing,” I say. And I mean it.
“You’ll be sleeping on a similar set on my yacht in the near future. We
have school this week and then a break for the Labor Day holiday. I think it
would be fun to get away. How would you feel about spending a few days
at sea?”
“Can we go now?” I tease, suddenly realizing that I’m feeling better.
Must have gotten the last of the junk food out of me. I’m also thirsty. “Hey,
what are you drinking?” I take in the pale color and little bubbles in
Johnny’s glass. “Oh my gosh, Johnny, is that champagne?”
He lets out a little huff. “It is.”
“But I thought we were going to bond over it.” I push my bottom lip out
in a pout.
“We’ve already bonded, Sparkles, but …” he says, looking toward my
stomach.
“Oh, right. My condition.”
“You haven’t told us one way or another yet,” Johnny says.
“We’d support you either way,” Laurent quickly adds.
“So, the real question is,” Johnny says with a sympathetic grin, “do we
need to turn Laurent’s mostly unused closet into a nursery?”
I laugh. “You guys, I’m not pregnant.”
“I knew it!” Johnny practically yells. “You’re still a virgin, right?”
“What do you mean, you knew it?”“Answer the question,” Johnny states.
I scoff, feeling a little irritated. “Do you think that I’m not, like, pretty
enough for someone to want to have sex with me?”
“Not at all. It’s just the way you handle yourself around men.”
“And?”
