Summary: 165 words. This is barely even a story...right?
"Let's braid each other's hair, Veronica," she whispers into the back of your neck, at that soft spot where your hair tangles and your nerves knot. "Tell me all your secrets."
You have no secrets, you want to tell her. But she slides her hands around your waist and you know that's a lie. Her laugh is like ice cubes clinking into a highball glass. She had four Tom Collinses tonight...and none of them complained.
"Do my nails," she pleads, pressing her fingertips against your mouth. "Tell me about boys."
"Logan loves you," you gasp out.
"Anything but that." Her eyes are huge and liquid and live.
"*I* love you."
"Better, Veronica. And true."
She kisses you with chapped lips that taste like a thousand other people whose names you don't know.
"Let's make popcorn and watch Dirty Dancing...let's stay up all night..." you murmur into her hipbone. And lower.
Nine hundred-ninety-nine of them probably don't know yours.
