Twenty minutes later, the tinkle of an incoming message rose in the back of the car driving me home.It was a text from Nigel.
Nigel:I spoke out of turn.Let’s spend the day together tomorrow.
After the tantrum in the restaurant?Not a chance.I thumbed the side of my phone.
When my cell pinged again, I kept the back of my head on the headrest and raised it to read the screen.This one was from Gabby.
Gabrielle:Want to hit up Mojitown for drinks tonight?
My heart twinged.She hadn’t said a word about my house.But I had plans.Wonderful, sexy plans, so it was with a healthy dose of satisfaction, and a pinch of pettiness that I typed:
Sienna:Having dinner with Jake.Maybe next time?
Gabrielle:Jake Rhodes with the big.Eggplant emoji?
Sienna:I really like him.Heart eyes emoji
Her ensuing, numerous texts came in a fast cacophony of electronic peals.
Gabrielle:How do you keep him interested?
Gabrielle:Anal?
Gabrielle:Four laughing emojis.Kidding.
Gabrielle:Deets.Now!
I turned off the cellphone and dropped it in my purse.

Jake and I would be alone at his place, and there would be a bed there.Or a sofa.I wasn’t fussed.Although I loved that he’d wanted to take it slow, I was more than ready to have sex with him.
