She was good with walking slowly, especially since her hip kept bumping against Greg’s as they went, and even through clothes she liked the feel of it. He had such a nice body, she still found it a little amazing that he liked hers in return. Wasn’t there some saying about not looking a gift horse in the mouth though? Phee grinned back at him and giggled a little. “Man, now you’re kind of making me want to test you ...” she teased, biting into her bottom lip for a second. “But no, I think I’ll be able to. I’ll talk to Jen as soon as I can and see if she can like, be my alibi.” Just the thought of spending the whole night at Greg’s house made her heart start beating hard again, and her lower belly tingled. She was pretty sure they would end up having sex, but the thought that he really wanted her there that much was exciting too.
"Test me?" Greg laughed. "Like, you think I wouldn't sneak over to your house and help you scale the wall? What do you take me for? An amateur?" It was a joke so he didn't really wait for an answer. "Tell her we'll do whatever it takes for a yes, buy her stuff, wash her car, whatever." Yeah he was willing to work for having his girl over if that was what it took and he was pretty sure Phee would be happy to hear it. Did Jen Barrett even have a car? Whatever, she'd get the gist. He couldn't imagine why Jen would refuse though, she was Phee's friend, right? So unless she was gay or something and totally jealous it only made sense she'd cover for her girl.
Phee laughed a bit -- did Jen even have a car? She didn’t know. That seemed like something she should know. Ugh, was she a bad friend already? Phee wasn’t used to having to keep up with other people, she’d been sort of socially isolated for quite a while -- or at least hadn’t had a best friend to know everything about. And now she had someone who was at least a potential best friend, and a boyfriend all of the sudden, and it felt like a lot to adapt to. Especially when said boyfriend pretty much took up her thoughts twenty-four-seven. Phee needed to work on that somehow, she didn’t want to be one of those girls. “I will be sure to add bribery into the mix, yes,” she assured Greg with a grin. “You’re doing the car-washing though, just FYI.” It was too bad summer was over, because she could definitely see herself setting up a chair to sit back and enjoy watching Greg get all wet and soapy.
Cleaning Jen's car - if she had one - was definitely not going to be a sexy thing. It would have to take place indoors since it had gotten so cold and that just wasn't the same. "Of course," he replied and found himself hoping Jen didn't have a car - or didn't need bribing at all, that was way more optimal. "What are you gonna bribe her with?" he asked anyway, cocking a brow at Phee. If nothing else it might give him some insight into girl-stuff, the girls in his life didn't really share much of their personal stuff with him, like he only got to see the picture perfect side of them and then barely even that.
That was probably a good question, and Phee hummed and pursed her lips to one side. “I dunno ... I’ll ask what she wants, maybe,” she said. “Maybe give her some awesome plants for her bugs or something. She has a bug and slug collection, apparently. It’s kinda cool.” She shrugged and gave Greg a smile. Honestly, she was pretty sure it wouldn’t come down to bribery, and she could always just offer to be Jen’s alibi the next time the girl needed one ... if she ever did. It was kind of sweet that Greg was keen to put in some work too to make sure Phee could spend the night. She leaned over to kiss his shoulder, then giggled a bit at Aurie stopping to sniff the hell out of a mailbox.
