Chapter 39
Lacy’s pov
“Where did you do last night?” Nancy shot as soon as the video
call connected.
I fidgeted in my seat and closed my eyes, the blanket on my eyelids a relief to my dry eyes.
It was almost three ‘o ‘clock in the afternoon, but both of us
were still struggling after last night’s party. Nancy was at home
in her bedroom, and we connected via Zoom, ready to record
our weekly podcast session.
Her pretty face came up with an accusing expression. Her thick
curly hair was let loose framing her beautiful face perfectly,
Nancy looks good in anything and at any time. And the usual
mischievous expressions on her face always add to the charm.
“Uh..” I stuttered, not knowing how to answer. I really didn’t want
to tell Nancy that I slept with Jim, but you can’t not tell Nancy
anything. She could always sense when people are withholding
information and could always get it out of them.
Her eyes narrowed at me when I couldn’t find a reply for her
immediately. She gave me a scrutinizing look through the

screen and rubbed her chin dramatically as if she were in deep
thought.
“God, you had sex with Jim,” she said.
It wasn’t a question, she was so sure of her guess that I was
caught off guard and couldn’t deny it.
“How… how did you know?” I stammered in shock.
“Well, Felix said he saw you two going upstairs and we didn’t
see you again.”
“Oh…” Blush stained my cheeks in guilt.
“Way to go you fucking dangerous slut.” Nancy praised wiggling
her eyebrows at me playfully.
To Nancy, the word ‘slut‘ was a praise rather than an insult. She
looked so invested and ready to choke details out of me.
“Stop it” I protested weakly.
“Stop? Girl, I’m just getting started. I didn’t know you had it in
you. Now that’s what I’m talking about.” Nancy looked so happy
like that was the best news she had heard in a while. She
repositioned herself and propped her laptop better.
“I need to know how it feels to fuck his best friend after he

broke your heart! Good right? I told you not to dwell on him,
there are better guys than him. “Nancy ranted on.
“Kol is hot I know, but Jim… Oh my God! We have got to write on
this”
“Nancy-”
“Okay, let’s start rolling before you say anything more,”
suggested Nancy eagerly. My computer beepped and a
notification appeared on my screen, letting me know that Nancy
had started the audio recording.
“No,” I complained. “Can’t we move straight on to the books for
once?”
“No way.” She shook her head stubbornly, her long gold earrings
swinging on either side of her face. “It’s part of podcasting.”
I closed my eyes and looked up at the sky in despair.
We have been recording the podcast series for about a year
now. It all started as a mere hobby we shared. The subscription
rate were low but we didn’t mind because it was just a hobby.
Although we made sure to always update once every week.
Nancy brought up the idea of talking about my personal life on
the podcast last summer when my relationship with Kol
changed.
Chapter 39
The more we talked about my love life- or previous love life-
and how some of the things that happened in our books actually
happened in real life, the higher our subscription rate. Listeners
started commenting on our program and sending us messages.
The stories struck a chord, even though most of them were
about my inability to get over my stepbrother, whom almost
everyone in the audience thought was a jerk.
Now, whether I like it or not, these updates of mine are
mandatory. At least – apart from using our names – we are
anonymous. Once we started telling my personal story on the
podcast, Nancy and I decided to stop using any names other
than our own.
Kol was changed to Damon, while Jim was changed to Zane.
As our audience grew, we even found ourselves having to edit
and republish old episodes to make sure we didn’t accidentally
share any identifying information.
“Let’s do an introduction first so the recording is in order,”
Nancy said. “You go first this time.” I took a deep breath and
smiled. “Hello, porn fans. I’m Lacy…”
I’m Nancy…”
You’re listening to the Hearts Unhinged,the podcast where we dive into the steamiest.”
