letting Charlie
stew in anticipation of what she would say. She was disappointed with him, to
say the least. This sort of thing broke their unspoken agreement. He knew that
she’d be displeased by it, too, or else he would have said something. Addison
folded her arms over her chest, and Charlie became still beside her. They were
silent for an excruciatingly long moment.
    “So,” Addison began with acid on her tongue, “Not getting
laid too much, are you?”
    “How can you even tell?” Charlie said. Addison noted that he
wasn’t denying anything. Of course he wasn’t. She could tell when he was lying
before he even spoke. She could smell it on him before he even said a word.
    “Since when are you fooling around with me exclusively?”
Addison said, “That’s not the way we do things Charlie.”
    “No,” Charlie admitted, “It’s not the way that we’ve done
things. In the past.”
    “Or in the present!” Addison cried, “We agreed that we would
never be in a relationship, Charlie. I don’t want to be restrained like that!
It would kill our friendship, don’t you see that? Monogamy is unnatural.”
    “Oh, please,” Charlie said, “What are you talking about? We
made that pact when we were fourteen and fresh off our parents’ divorces. Of
course we were afraid of commitment then, and rightly so. But we’re adults now,
Addison. I want to start behaving like an adult, not some dumb kid.”
    “I thought adults were frumpy and boring?”
    “Don’t be petulant. It doesn’t look good on you.”
    “Fuck off, Charlie!”
    “Addison, please,” Charlie said, turning toward her, “Let’s
talk about this for real. I don’t see any reason why we should talk about maybe
making this thing between us something more...Official.”
    “Ugh,” Addison shuddered, “I hate that word. Official. It’s
like we’re registering with the state or something. What kind of bullshit...”
    “Look, I know that you’ve never been in a relationship
before—”
    “Neither have you!”
    “But think about it, Addison. What do you call what we are
now?”
    “We’re friends,” Addison said, “We’ve always been friends.
And I’d like to stay that way for as long as we possibly can!”
    “But that’s the thing,” Charlie said, “A friendship is a
relationship. And a friendship that included sexual attraction, well... I’d say
we’re mates, my dear girl. Like it or not. Now, all I’m suggesting is that we
do exactly what we’ve been doing this whole time, except we stop doing it with
other people. Can’t we at least just try it?”
    “I don’t know,” Addison said, “I don’t see why we should.”
    “Well,” Charlie said, “For my part, I simply don’t want to
have sex with other people. So I’m not going to. How about that, huh?”
    “But...Then I’m being awful if I do!” Addison cried.
    “Have you been with other guys lately?” Charlie asked,
“Since we saw each other last, I mean?”
    “One...Almost,” Addison said. She realized then that she too
had been mostly exclusive to Charlie, except for one lackluster eating-out by
her TA. What was going on? Charlie smiled at her excitedly.
    “See! You feel it too!” he said, “We haven’t talked about
it, but we’ve each felt it! So what do you say? Why don’t we at least give it a
shot?”
    Before Addison could answer, Anna let out another enormous
shriek, rattling the car on its tires. All four friends burst into laughter,
noticing the steamed up windows all around them. They were a caricature of
themselves, alright. Anna slid off of Grayson back into the driver’s seat,
shaking her head.
    “Well, I guess I’m sobered up,” she laughed, turning the key
in the ignition. “You guys about reading to hit the road or what?”
    “Fire her up, baby,” Charlie said, wrapping an arm around
Addison, “Let’s go home.”
    A sharp knock on the driver’s window made the four friends
jump out of their skins in unison. The sudden, bright glare
