“Yes.”
“I’ll go home and shower.”
“Me too.”
“Send me your address.”
“Okay.”
I quickly pressed another kiss against her lips and walked away. If I didn’t remove myself from her presence, we’d never part ways. Behind me, I heard the door close, the engine start, and the gravel underneath the tires. When I turned around, she was leaving the lot, but before she pulled onto the street, I received a text with her address.
“This must beserious if you got us on a three-way call,” Talia said.
“I hope it’s good and juicy,” Indira added.
“I met someone,” I blurted out.
“What do you mean?” Talia questioned.
“Met someone as in a man?” Indira asked.
“Yes. I met a man, and if one of you don’t talk me out of it, I’m fucking him tonight.”
“Hold up!”
“Wait a minute!”
They spoke simultaneously.
“I know it sounds crazy, and it’s out of my norm, but this man . . . whew!”
“Lani, please give us more details,” Indira said.
“Please do. I don’t even know what questions to ask at this point,” Talia added.
I gave them the run-down on how I met Rowdy. By the time I parked in my designated parking spot, they knew everything I knew about him, which wasn’t much.
“Have you seen him around here before?” Talia asked.
“Never. Believe me, I would’ve noticed and remembered. He kinda reminds me of Russell.”
“If you’re talking about Russell Rush, that’s one fine specimen,” Talia said.
“He sure is, but I don’t know, Sis. I mean, none of us are saints, but taking a stranger back to your place on the first date seems a little crazy,” Indira reasoned.
“You wanna hear something crazy? I know it’s a risk, and I still wanna do it. I want this man like I’ve never wanted anyone in my life. Honestly, I don’t know why I called y’all because I’m still gonna do it.”
“Lani, what’s gotten into you?” Talia questioned.
“Nothing yet, but I hope it’s Rowdy’s dick soon.”
My sisters gasped.
“Okay. This is too much. Someone has kidnapped our sister and replaced her with a horny risk-taker. I’ve never heard you talk like this,” Indira concluded.
“Gimme a break, y’all. I haven’t had sex in months, and I haven’t had great sex in years. The Lord is telling me this man is going to give me exactly what I’ve been missing all these years.”
“Umm, I feel you, Sis, but you can’t be putting the Lord into your shenanigans. I’m pretty sure He wouldn’t sign off on this,” Talia countered.
