Kendra placed her hand on her forehead. “My heart tells me I want to score films, but do you know how hard it is to get your foot in the door in that business?”
“There’s no doubt in my mind that you could do it. I’ve seen you get exactly what you want time and time again. If you just apply the same motivation toward your career as you do to getting everything else you want, I know you could do just about anything.”
Kendra’s head shot up. “Really? You think I could?”
“I think youwill.There’s something fascinating about you. You call attention every time you walk into a room. People are naturally taken by your charisma and brutal honesty. You’re talented and determined. I don’t think you’ll have any trouble getting what you want.”
“Thanks, Mads,” Kendra let out a huge sigh. “I feel so much better. I don’t know why I let my adviser try to talk me out of my dream. He doesn’t know me very well. Between him trying to make me a teacher and my dad trying to steer me into business, I started second-guessing everything. Men… This is why I don’t get close. They’re always trying to control me. Don’t they know I can’t be tamed? No man will ever understand me,” Kendra said in a huff, cracking another chip in between her fingers. “I knew you’d know. Maybe it’s because your world isn’t centered around your penis.”
Madi smiled as Kendra pulled the bowl of chips closer and fluffed her hair. Madi noticed several guys nearby take notice.
“How’s your squeeze doing?” Kendra asked. “Did you have to lie to him about Halloween again?”
“He’s good, and I didn’t lie. It’s a surprise. Stop making me feel bad about trying to surprise him.” Madi crinkled her face briefly but couldn’t help but smile when she thought of him.
“I still can’t get over the fact that you’re dating Jake Morgan.”
“Shhh…” Madi anxiously glanced around the room.
“Oh, for fuck’s sake, Madi! No one knows who we’re talking about. That secret is locked up tighter than his ass.”
Madi took a deep breath, then found herself grinning as she thought about his ass. She remembered the first time she’d seen him walk to the bathroom from their bed. He was beyond hot and his body was drool worthy.
“Oh God, now you’re thinking about him, aren’t you? I can tell by that stupid look on your face and the fact that you’re biting your lip.”
Madi giggled. “He’s just so amazing.”
Kendra threw her hand up in the air. “I don’t want to hear it! I haven’t had sex in days, and I might combust if you tell me how good he is one more time. I totally gave that date to you.”
Madi smiled. “Yes, you did, and I’ll love you forever, but what do you mean you haven’t had sex in days? What happened to Max last night?
“Max is a worthless piece of shit. I decided to stop by his room last night to surprise him and found him in bed with some freshman.”
Madi sighed and reached across the table to touch Kendra’s hand. “I’m sorry.”
“For what?” Kendra asked as she rolled her eyes at Madi’s hand patting the top of hers. “I don’t care about him. I’m just not into sharing. It’s gross.”
“Maybe I should see if Jake knows someone who could handle you?”
“I’ll make him a list of musicians I’d like to screw.” Kendra smiled and ate another chip.
Madi huffed. “I don’t need to find you someone to screw, Ken. I need to find you someone who makes you feel the way Jake makes me feel.”
Kendra shrugged. “I’d be happy with a solid fuck.”
Madi rolled her eyes and shook her head. “What am I going to do with you?”
“All I can say is that if our food doesn’t get here in the next two minutes, I’m going to unleash major bat-shit crazy.”
Madi sighed as Kendra got up to go check on their food. How was she going to tell her that in a few months she was thinking of moving to L.A.? Was she actually considering it? Madi pushed the thought out of her mind. She wasn’t ready to think about it. She still had months before she had to make any kind of decision, and she planned on using every second of it to make sure she knew in her heart it was right.
