It would never work, and I know that. I just wanted to do it anyway, and I think that was a
miscalculation on my part. Because now I know what sex with him is like. And it s amazing.
Why? What s he doing exactly? Suzanne turned to Tamara. I bet he s hung.
Tamara smacked Suzanne on the arm. Whether a man is hung or not isn t the only thing necessary
to have amazing sex with him.
Are you saying Elec isn t hung? Suzanne asked.
The expression on horror on Tamara s face actually made Imogen smile.
Of course he is, Tamara said. Her hands came up to indicate size before she quickly dropped
them. It . . . he keeps me very happy.
Now Suzanne and Imogen were both laughing.
Anyway, Tamara said, waving her hand around. This isn t about me and Elec. This is about you
and Ty. I don t think you can assume that future sex is ruined for you. Just look at this way if Ty
could give that to you, so can some other man. He opened a sexual door for you, and that s a positive
outcome.
You going to do it again with him? Suzanne asked, studying her carefully.
She just said she isn t, Tamara said.
No. I didn t. And yes, I actually am. Imogen took another massive sip of her drink.
I knew it, Suzanne said triumphantly.
You are? Tamara asked in disbelief. Are you sure that s wise?
Since when does being wise come into play when you re coming? Suzanne asked. The girl got
her freak on and she wants to do it again. No mystery there.
Yeah, but if she s worried about getting emotionally involved with him, seeing him again might
not be the best thing to do.
Suzanne looked like she could care less about that. So when are you seeing him again? Are you
just going to his place to do the nasty or what?
He s taking me camping on Monday.
Camping? That sounds like fun. I like camping.
I don t, Imogen said. At least, I don t think I do. I ve never been in a tent in my life, unless it
was the catering tent at a garden party.
So why are you going, then? Tamara asked.
We made a deal. I ll go camping if he reads Much Ado About Nothing.
And he agreed to that? Suzanne asked skeptically. I d watch him, if I were you. He ll haul your
ass out into the woods and never pick up that play and read it. You get play payment up-front.
He wouldn t do that, Imogen protested. Would he?
I think it sounds kind of, I don t know, romantic, Tamara said. Like he s trying really hard to
impress you and to find common ground with you.
Suzanne s opinion of that was clear from the height of her eyebrows. They had disappeared under
her side-swept blond bangs.
But Imogen was inclined to agree with Tamara. At least that s what the soft and foolish pounding
mass in her chest wanted to believe. It was stupid, she knew that. She was, to be highly over-
dramatic, which she never was but for once just needed to be, at risk for having Ty drive his race car
over her heart and grind her into the asphalt.
The knowledge of that didn t seem to be stopping her.
Aside from all of that, which is confusing enough, I have thoroughly ruined my thesis, Imogen
said. I was supposed to be following the Six Steps, or at least attempting the initial steps to see if I
could secure interest from a driver.
I think you secured interest all right.
That was true. Yeah, but that wasn t from following the rules. I think I ve broken about every
single one with Ty.
And the goal with Ty isn t to marry him, Tamara said.
True, but did she have to point it out so baldly?
Of course not.
What are these stupid six steps anyway? Suzanne asked. I ve been sweating my ass off at the
gym with you and I haven t even heard the rest of them. If they re cracked, I m not doing them.
Okay, well, Step One is getting date ready. Step Two is meeting him. Step Three is your first date.
Four is getting in good with his friends and maintaining your own life. Five is adding intimacy and
becoming exclusive. Six is letting him know he can t live without you.
