Something I can’t really explain
over the phone.” This was more than enough to get Cass’s attention. I never
asked for favours.
    “Sure. I will be over soon. Just have to finish something
off here.”
     
    “Bent penis guy? While on the phone to me?” I gaped at her.
Why the hell did she even answer the phone/?
    “Yeah he kind of came over and, well, it just happened.”
Cass at least had the decency to blush. “I tried to take a picture for you.”
She added, grinning.
    “I don’t want a picture!” I couldn’t think of anything worse
than seeing Cass’s latest boyfriends bent wang. “Geez Cass!” Cass giggled,
showing no signs of shame. “So you like this guy then?”
    “Honestly? No. He is rude, obnoxious, and not really my type
at all.”
    “Then why ?” I gasped, giggling. Cass blushed again.
    “Because when I told you he could hit the right notes, I
wasn’t kidding.”
    “Cass!” I groaned. She gaped at me, her eyebrows raised. She
tried to look serious, but it was no use. Neither of us could keep a straight
face. “Cass. You are crazy.”
    “That’s great coming from you, Miss ‘I Can’t Find Any Man
Sexy.’ I don’t expect you to understand, but I have needs that need to be dealt
with.” Cass stared at me strangely. “You are blushing. Why are you blushing?”
Her face lit up into a smile as she realised.
    “You little slut!” My face went redder.
     

Chapter Eight
    “Simon?” repeated Cass. “Hot law professor who goes to our
university, who is twice our age Simon?”
    I blushed. To that point, I hadn't really considered the age
difference. He was four years younger than my mother. Which made him 18 years
older than me. That was going to be an issue with many people, including my
parents. I didn't need Cass banging on about it too.
    “Simon who is a bit of an asshole, Simon?” Cass added. I
rolled my eyes. I could tell this was going to go down so well…
    “Nothing has happened.” I felt the need to defend myself,
which was crazy considering Cass had had enough sexual partners to fill a
stadium.
    “I can’t point out how many things are wrong with this.”
Groaned Cass. “Does he know about..? You know…”
    “Gee Cass, how the hell would I have worked that into the
conversation?” I tried unsuccessfully to keep the annoyance out of my voice.
Cass had always been nothing but supportive of me. It had never occurred to me
that she might have a problem with this.
    Why did she have such a problem with this? How was this any
worse than her using bent penis guy for sex? It scared me that I might not be
able to share things with Cass. I needed her, and her support.
    “I’m sorry Em.” Her face softened. “I’m just worried about
you.”
    “And I appreciate that, but you're not really helping here.”
I was nervous enough without having to worry about not having her support. She
jumped off my bed and gave me a hug. I relaxed, hugging her back. This was what
I needed. My best friend.
    “What can I do?' she asked, her whole demeanour changed.
Gone was all the negativity. Cass looked at me with bright eyes. She smiled,
and I knew her feelings were sincere. She just wanted me happy.
    “You can try being a friend for starters.” I couldn't resist
a final dig at her.
    “You know I'm always on your side.” Cass looked hurt. I
reached over and squeezed her hand, instantly regretting my retort.
    “Then let me enjoy this with you.” I pleaded. “Besides, all
Tom has done is give me shit.”
    Cass laughed when I told her what he'd done. Even I was
smiling by the end of it. Not that he was forgiven. No, he still needed to pay
for that, big time.
    “So,” Cass began. “Have you kissed him?”
    “No.” I blushed. “We are just friends. I think friendship is
all I could handle. Right now at least.” Cass nodded, her eyes full of
understanding.
    “Em, you go at the pace you need to. If he is the right guy
for you, he will understand. What can I do?”
    “I need
