“No, but he wants me to go to Spain with him on a holiday.” I frown. “Right.”
“But Brooke thinks he’s going to sell me on the black market or some shit.”
My eyes flicker to Brooke. “What? Why?”
“He wants her to have a threesome.”
My eyes go back to Jolie. “Didn’t you do that already? You were talking about that last week.”
“No.” Brooke smiles sweetly. “He’s saving her for his buddy back home. Isn’t he so thoughtful?”
I open my mouth to say something but nothing comes out.
Yuck.
“So, this fool,” Brooke sneers, “is actually considering going to another country with a man she hardly knows so that he can share her with his friends. Where she doesn’t speak the language, and has no idea who he is or what the laws of possession are.”
“You don’t know him!” Jolie cries.
“I don’t think I want to,” I reply. “Jo, you can’t be seriously considering this.”
“Why not?”
“It’s fucking dangerous. I’m with Brooke; you have no idea what he’s into. He could be a sex trafficker and his job is to come to the states to bring pretty girls back home.”
“He’s not, and you two have read too many dark romance books. That shit doesn’t happen for real.”
“You don’t know that.” Brooke scoffs. “Seriously, you are killing me. You can’t be this stupid?”
“Well, I want to go.” Jolie huffs. “I’ve always wanted to travel, and it’s only one week. He’s going to take me to San Sebastian.”
“To probably kill you,” Brooke mutters under her breath. “He might make snuff movies or some shit.”
Jolie rolls her eyes, and I chuckle. “Jeez, your story makes mine sound tame.”
“Why?” Jolie sighs uninterested. “What’s happening with you?”
It feels good to be with my friends. I’ve been building up all this stress and I’m bursting to vent about it.
“I’m going to tell you bitches everything, and I want your support and understanding because my head is about to explode.”
“Fire away,” Jolie does a little wave to the server. “It will take my mind off of sex trafficking.”
I giggle. “Well, to start with, there is a chick at Nathan’s work who sucked his dick,” I blurt out in a rush.
“What?” they both gasp and sit forward in their seats.
“She wants him and she’s beautiful. She’s also a doctor.”
“What the hell?” Brooke whispers. “Everyone fucking wants him.”
“Oh, you don’t know the half of it. While on my conference last week, guess who I met.”
“Who?” They both frown.
“A guy who used to go out with Nathan.”
Brooke’s eyes widen. “Oh, hell.”
