Splash Me: Fairytale Remixes, #1

By Laura Lovely

What's your fantasy? One that you never told anyone?" he asks.

Kevin and I have had five dates—and hooked up twice. He is big-hearted and big-boned, with a slightly ragged haircut and a laugh that reminds me of the luckdragon in The Neverending Story. I like him so much, even though he's a total dweeb.

I stare at the dirty text for one minute. Then two.

My fantasy? I take a swig of wine. Should I cop out? Make a joke about a naughty nurse? Or do I risk being completely honest…

If I tell him the truth, I think he would make it good.

I know he'll make it good. I take a deep breath—I'm all in.

I text back, "Have you seen the movie Splash?"

About the Author

CHAPTER ONE

Iblame the hotel WiFi for this entire situation.

About 10:00 p.m. every night, when all the businessmen stream porn and overload the network, my Netflix stalls just as Rory Gilmore is about to take her next sip of coffee. It doesn’t matter how many rewards points I have, I’ll never be able to upgrade to a connection that can exceed the drag of a Midwestern hotel full of lonely middle managers.

I could also blame the bottle of merlot that came courtesy of my company’s rewards points. I’m flying back to New York tomorrow, carry-on luggage only, and it seems like a waste to leave this bottle un-drunk. It has a twist-top, and I don’t even bother to get a glass from the bathroom.

I’ve drunk down to the top of the label when Kevin texts me. His Bitmoji avatar is holding a cat that says You’re Purr-fect.

We have had five dates and sex twice. He is big-hearted and big-boned, with a slightly ragged haircut and a laugh that reminds me of the luckdragon in The Neverending Story. I like him so much, even though
