Quill grinned, shaking his head. “I wouldn’t want to be that girl when you get her back.”
Florida smiled and ordered, “Make it happen. And no fuckups this time.”
CHAPTER EIGHTEEN
Jessie, Skylar and Tink were all in bikinis, stretched out on beach towels on Shades and Skylar’s dock. Two empty bottles of wine sat next to them. The lake was quiet, it being the middle of the afternoon on a workday.
Jessie let her head fall back, enjoying the feel of the sun as it soaked into her skin. “God, this feels so good. Thank you. I needed this.”
Skylar rolled her head on the wooden dock, pulled her shades up and looked at her. “No problem, honey. Now, spill. I want to know everything about you and Ghost.”
She shook her head. “Where do I even start? It’s such a mess.”
Skylar went up on her elbow reached for one of the bottles and turned it upside down over Jessie’s red plastic cup. A tiny bit dribbled out, and she twisted, looking back at a dozing Tink.
“Tink! We’re out of wine.”
The girl shot straight up, groggily looked around, and said, “You drive.”
Jessie and Skylar both burst out in giggles.
Tink lay back down on the pier. “You both suck. I was having a fantastic dream.”
Skylar looked over at her. “Let me guess. Did it star someone named Hammer?”
“Shut up. Go back to bothering Jessie about her love life. And what do you care about the wine, you’re not even drinking it!”
“How am I supposed to get Jessie to spill her guts if I can’t get her drunk first?” Skylar replied, stuck her tongue out at Tink and turned back to Jessie.
Jessie replied, “Gee, thanks, Tink.”
“You’re welcome, girlfriend.”
“So, are you in love with him?” Skylar asked, getting right down to business.
“You don’t beat around the bush, do you?” Jessie asked with a laugh.
“Nope.”
“Don’t feel like you have to spill your guts to us if you don’t want to, Jessie,” Tink added.
“Speak for yourself,” Skylar insisted. “I want the dirty details!”
“Dirty details?”
“Is he good in bed?” she asked, her brows waggling.
“Oh, Lord,” Tink laughed.
“Skylar!” Jessie shrieked.
“What? I’ve seen his package, so I know he’s got to be good.”
This apparently was news to Tink, who shot upright again.
“What? You’ve seen Ghost naked?”
“Only once, just for a brief second. But what I saw was amazing.” She finished in a high-pitched, singsong voice.
