Nat grins like the Cheshire cat and says, “From the beginning, if you please. ”
I spend the next ten minutes explaining in detail what happened. When I’m finished Nat asks, “I don’t get why you guys were laughing so hard. What happened?”
I bite my lip to stop from giggling and say, “Well, we heard something really funny. ” I shoot her a look and go on. “In the conference room. ” Her eyes widen, I continue with, “It was really loud. ” Nat swallows hard and turns beet red.
Hehe…yeah, I know you naughty girl.
Lola looks thoughtful and slowly says, “I think I know what happened. ” I lean closer to her and widen my eyes like she will reveal to me all the secrets of the universe. She reminds me, “You were pretty tipsy, Tina, and you just got put on the spot with all the sex questions. I think maybe he thought he was taking advantage of you. ”
Mimi and Nat both nod in agreement.
Could it be?
No, I’d made my intentions clear.
I wanted him.
I was rubbing up against him like a cat in heat for god sake! I moaned into his mouth. Those all say take me now! Could it be he thought I’d been drinking too much?
Mimi shoots me a sultry look and asks, “So, how good of a kisser is he?”
My eyes roll in to the back of my head and I moan. The girls laugh at my dramatics.
I smile a small smile and explain softly, “It was the type of kiss where your knees turn to jelly. And you feel electricity running through your veins. And your stomach flips around like a fish. ” I sigh and say, “The type that made me believe he could possibly be the one. "
Lola pouts her lips and puts her hands over her heart. Nat smiles a happy smile. Mimi bites her tongue and nods her head. “Righteous. ”
I smile to myself and whisper, “Yeah, it was. ”
Totally.

Max speaks around a caramel mud cupcake. “Glad to see you and Tina made up. ”
Tina brought us six of the honest to god best cupcakes I’ve ever had. Out of all her cakes, these are my favorite so far.
Ambrosia…Food of the gods.
She walked into the ‘chill out’ room and as soon as Trick saw her carrying a container he jumped up, kissed her cheek and took the container from her.
She laughed, “Trick, save some for your brothers, please. ”
Ghost even squeezed her shoulder when he walked in to the room. She’s a part of our family. All the girls are. I consider them my sisters. Well, not Tina, which would be weird…because she would be an adorable sister with a great ass that I like to kiss.
Uh, Yuk.
“We had a girl’s night last night and these were left over,” she says as she picks one up and holds it out to me. “Try it. ”
God, she looks like Eve holding a shiny red apple.
Tempting temptress.
One bite of that morsel of caramel fudgy goodness and I could’ve asked Tina to marry me.
That’s strange. Thoughts of marriage usually make me sweat. Somehow that doesn’t seem to happen when I think of Tina as my little wifey.
Tina in my kitchen. Tina snuggling with me on my sofa. Tina in my bed on her kne—
