“God, since when did you start giving out good advice?”
“Don’t think this is all to benefit you,” Steph says. “I’ve been a one dick woman for so long that I have to live vicariously through you.”
I let out a snort of laughter. “God, I must be such a disappointment.”
“So, you’re going to fuck him, right?” Carolyn chirps. “I mean, because if you don’t, your standards are going to start sinking, and sooner or later, you’ll bring home someone you’ll truly regret. Like Donald.”
“My body says yes…my brain…ehhh….”
“Well, if you don’t bang Colin, someone else will. Actually, a lot of someones will. Don’t think he’s gone unnoticed,” Steph says.
“Oh, I know he’s been noticed.”
“Change of plans,” Steph interjects. “Friday, April’s staying home and Michael’s coming over here. Then, you and Colin can have a little more privacy.”
“But I love having April over!”
“Then have her over Saturday,” Stephanie insists. “Just think about it.”
I finish off a second fuzzy navel, mulling over her words with a new lens.
It is an indisputable fact that I need to get laid, and while I might not want to embark on casual ventures, who better to have one with than a man who’s single, will give discretion, and in his own words, will eat my candy for hours.
“I guess I’ll see how it works out.”
Stephanie squeals. “I can’t wait!”
Colin
I close the door to Michael’s room after turning on the nightlight.
This has by far been one of the most successful weeks I’ve had since moving to Wilson’s Grove. Thirty-eight adults have signed up at the gym, and I’ve secured my son his first sleepover.
Plus, I’m very likely going to get laid.
All great accomplishments.
Of course, the debate still rages within me as to whether I should involve myself with the Lacy Savage, my public rival and one-time enemy, but I’ve decided that some forces you just can’t stop. We may not have a happily ever after, but I’m fairly certain Lacy is not the type of woman that would be so vindictive that she’d ever do anything to hurt Michael.
My mind travels again to the curve of her hip, the swell of her breasts, the gentle slope of her neck, the heat between her thighs.
It’s no mystery why I’m attracted to her, though I can’t figure out what has me so charmed. Why she’s preoccupying so much of my mind space when I should be working on getting my business up and running.
My phone vibrates with a text from Lacy, and I damn near drop it as I scramble to slide the unlock bar over.
Please be a picture…please be a picture…please be a picture…
Lacy:I’m a little tipsy…
Hmmm…proceed with caution…
Colin:Oh, goodie! That worked out well for me last time.
Lacy:no more lollipops
Colin:Awesome! It was kind of getting in the way in the other pics. I didn’t want to complain.
Lacy:somehow I doubt you ever suffer silently
