of that because Josh and I had gotten ourselves into a crazy ordeal and taken those chances from her.
I started to tear up again, but the sound of the front door opening saved me.
“Is it safe to enter?” my dad called out from a cracked door.
“Yes, yes, everyone has left. It’s just me and Mel now.” My mom shouted back at him.
“Well, isn’t this just like the women, Josh? They’ve come in and made a mess and left it for the men to clean up!” my dad said sarcastically.
Josh laughed as he walked in behind my dad.
He looked at me questioningly and I mouthed back, “don’t ask.”
“Why don’t you two leave this for us? It won’t take that long for us to get this mess cleaned up.” Mom offered to us when she caught us smiling at each other.
“We don’t mind helping out, Mrs. Holden.” Josh countered her offer.
She stopped cleaning, “Please call me mom now, Josh.”
“We’ve got this. Why don’t the two of you head home and sort through all the gifts Mel got tonight.” My dad gave him another slap on the back, but this one was punctuated by a wink.
An awkward look was exchanged between me and Josh, but we obliged my parents. He helped me load the bags into the car and we waved to my parents as we drove off towards our apartment.
“So, how was it?” Josh asked when my parents’ house was completely out of sight.
I groaned, “I don’t want to talk about it. I’m scarred for life now.”
My cheeks burned just thinking about what I’d seen, heard, and been forced to do.
He laughed loudly.
“Did you have a good time with my dad?”
Josh tilted his head to the side slightly and a grin formed on the corner of his mouth. “He talked to me about sex.”
I groaned again and threw my head back against the car seat. “I’m so sorry!”
Josh chuckled, “Don’t be. It was pretty informative. I kind of wish he’d had the talk with me years ago.”
“Yuck! Gross! What did he tell you?” I was disgusted. The thought of my dad talking about sex was awful. The thought of my dad talking about sex with Josh was just horrendous!
“He didn’t go into any details, but,” Josh paused and gave me a wicked look, “let’s just say that your mother is most likely a very satisfied woman.”
I screamed, “Ugh! Seriously, please stop talking about this!”
Josh laughed some more. “Just one more thing and then I’ll stop.”
We were at a stop light so he turned to face me. He waited until I looked at him and gave him permission to continue.
He grinned widely at me, “If we really were engaged, then tonight would be a very fun night !”
I raised an eyebrow at him and he nodded seriously, but kept the goofy grin.
I rolled my eyes.
“So, did you get anything good tonight?” he asked as the light turned green. I could see the grin on his face.
“My parents got us a honeymoon in Hawaii.”
“I know. Your dad told me about it.” He looked over at me with a smile. “This fake wedding and marriage is turning into a very fortunate turn of events for us.”
I smiled at him, but my thoughts were elsewhere. I thought of my mom and all the things that she was giving up.
As we pulled into the parking lot of our apartment building Josh nonchalantly asked, “So, any chance that there might be a lingerie fashion show in our apartment tonight? After all, the gifts aren’t just for you, you know.”
I looked at him and said seriously, “I suppose it could be arranged, but honestly Josh, some of that lingerie is not going to fit you.”
11.
There was no lingerie fashion show. I carefully tucked all the lacy articles away in the back of my closet. I could have used some new bras and panties, but the thought of wearing any of it made me sick to my stomach. Everyone had purchased those items with the intent of me wearing them for Josh, and I just couldn’t bring myself to look at any of it.
