The Clam Jam
Piper Menon
@Nisha Arora, did you finish your dare last night? We demand answers! You left with Hollywood, and if my spidey sense is correct, there was no FAKING IT involved. You got dicked, didn’t you?
Sarina Arora
Don’t think for one second that I believed your “I’m tipsy and have a headache” excuse. Tipsy or not, you were doing that thing when you’re lying—where you look at my left ear when you speak.
Nisha Arora
I do not do that. And I WAS tipsy!
Mala Meyer
Oh, is that why you kissed him in front of everyone and nearly caused a barn fire with all that sexual tension? Because you were TIPSY?
Sarina Arora
Girl is lying to no one but herself.
Rani Meyer
I literally got wet watching that kiss. Went home and took it out on Darian. He woke up happy this morning.
Piper Menon
Pretty sure we all got the D last night just from being in the proximity of that kiss. My vagina was clapping like she was sensing a sister in heat.
Nisha Arora
OMG. You all are deeply disturbed.
Bella Meyer
Interestingly though, I don’t hear you denying it. You slept with him, didn’t you?
Sarina Arora
Why else would someone walking by Patton’s car say it was ROCKING? For twenty minutes.
Nisha Arora
Shut up. No one said that.
Wait . . . did someone seriously say that?
Piper Menon
Now if that isn’t an admission of guilt. TBH, I’m shocked it only took twenty minutes to resurrect your pussy from the dead.
Nisha Arora
God, I hate you so much.
Kavi Case
Tell us NOW, Neesh. You know we will keep at this until you fold.
Nisha Arora
Fine! MAYBE we did.
Sarina Arora
I KNEW IT!
Mala Meyer
Details NOW, Neesh! Was it filthy or sweet?
Piper Menon
Did he whisper your name like a prayer or choke you while he made your clam squeak?
Nisha Arora
I honestly don’t understand why we’re friends.
Kavi Case
SPILL!!!
Nisha Arora
Fine. Yes to all. Happy now?? Jesus.
Rani Meyer
[GIF of woman thrusting hips and dancing] SCREECHING!
Piper Menon
The fucking smile stretched over my face right now. I swear, I look like a lunatic. YES, I’m fucking happy now!
Sarina Arora
Same! GAH, sis! So happy!
Bella Meyer
You were lethal in that leather dress, Nisha. But we still need more details. Did you spend the night? Was it like everything you remembered or better?
Nisha Arora
[GIF of woman covering her face with both hands]
God, it was the same but so much better, too. I can’t explain it. But you guys, don’t get so excited. This doesn’t mean we’re back together.
Mala Meyer
Not going to lie, it’s hard NOT to be excited, especially knowing how you feel about him.
Nisha Arora
It doesn’t matter how I feel. He made it clear he didn’t know how long he was going to stay, and I’m not doing the whole waiting around thing again.
Whatever this is, however long it lasts, I’m not pretending it’s something it’s not. I’ve learned the hard way that feeling good in Patton’s arms doesn’t mean I’m safe there.
Sarina Arora
We get it, babe. You’re protecting your heart, as you should. Especially since it bled over him before.
Kavi Case
And just so you know, you never have to pretend with us. But you also don’t have to downplay what it meant to you, either.
Bella Meyer
You don’t owe us a label. Whatever happened last night, whether it was a one-night thing or if it turns into more, it’s yours. We just love seeing a little light on your face again. And there’s no denying that you’ve been glowing ever since he came back.
Piper Menon
Exactly. And if that glow is caused by running into his dick repeatedly without labeling it as anything more, then so be it. We just want each and every filthy and orgasmic detail.
Sarina Arora
Let’s do brunch after my dress fitting this weekend and get more details on my sister’s sexcapade.
Nisha Arora
Let’s not.
Sarina Arora:
Two words: Helium balloons.
Nisha Arora
Four words: You’re dead to me.
Piper Menon
Too bad. Brunch is booked and you’re coming, before or after you’ve come on Patton’s face. Your choice.
Rani Meyer
I am bringing my whiteboard titled “The Great Re-Dicking” to flowchart this vaginal awakening and discuss important positions and such.
Nisha Arora
I will literally light myself on fire.
Mala Meyer
No worries. I’ll bring marshmallows.
Nisha Arora
You are all the actual worst. Fine. I’ll be there. Now stop texting me. I’ve reached my daily quota of your idiocy.
Kavi Case
You can’t get rid of us, no matter how much you want to.
Nisha Arora
Sort of like a yeast infection.
Piper Menon
That’s right. We’re persistent, irritating, and unforgettable.
Nisha Arora
Ugh. See you at brunch.
