Chapter 27
Milo scrolls down my phone. âWhich do you like best? Indoor skating rinks, gun shows, or county fairs?â
âI donât like any of those things.â I continue to peruse the snack aisle of the gas station, hunting for an early dinner. Itâs only five oâclock, but the bland potatoâs worn off, and I havenât seen any restaurants in Middle of Nowhere, Wyoming. âWhatâs the most times youâve masturbated in a twenty-four-hour period?â
âSix.â He picks up a large fountain cup, then swaps it for the jumbo size. âThatâs not my answer. Thatâs the sixth time youâve sexualized me.â He shrugs. âActually, it might be my answer.â
âMakes sense since youâve pretty much only had sex four times.â
âMineâs two,â Brad-Paul unsolicitedly offers as he searches a row of protein bars for one heâs not allergic to.
Two isnât surprising. He has the sex drive of a Tibetan monk.
Milo talks over the sound of ice cubes tumbling into his cup. âSkating. Guns. Fair. If you donât pick one, Lexa will probably find Havarti to Heaven.â
âFine. The fair. Bright lights. Lots of children.â No chance of having fun there.
The soon-to-be-spectral bulimic grabs two more bags of Donettes. âGod, youâre a pain in the ass. Is there anything you do like?â
âShoe hoarding,â Brad-Paul answers for me.
Milo predictably presses his cup against the Dr. Pepper lever. âDo you want to go find a shoe to look at?â
âNo thanks. Iâll just look at the pair you didnât sell on Craigslist.â I extend one foot, displaying my sneaker. I could look at my stripper boots, too, but thatâd require a trip to the trunk.
Milo grabs a plastic lid while his cup fills. âSo what else does she like, Paul?â
Brad-Paul compares two protein bar wrappers side-by-side. The pictures, not the ingredients. âShe likes books. She says fake people are more interesting than real ones.â
Itâs a poignant statement, but not the one I made. The real one was closer to âShut up. Iâm reading.â
âYou sold them all for a dollar,â I remind Milo.
He points his plastic lid at a tabloid magazine. âWant to read about Martians taking over the White House?â
Back from the restroom, Lexa joins Brad-Paul by the protein bars. âAre any of these vegan?â
Brad-Paul hands her a nuts-and-berries bar. âGuess what, Lexi! Weâre going to a fair! Whereâs it at, M-Dawg?â
Milo seals the lid on his Dr. Pepper. âA couple hours east of here.â
I have no idea where the hell we are, but âeastâ means âto the right,â so thereâs a decent chance weâre heading in the right direction.
Milo shows Brad-Paul a map on my phone.
âHey! Thatâs near where Lexiâs parents live!â
How the hell does he know that? Theyâve only known each other three days. I dated him for six months, and I have no idea where heâs from. Kentucky, maybe? He has the demeanor of a Kentucky person. No accent though.
Lexa checks out the map. âItâs sort of close. Theyâre a couple hours from there. Just outside Rawlins.â
Brad-Paul grins. âIâll pick that for my turn if you want to see them.
