The large dining room table was impeccably and ornately decorated and large dishes of food spanned nearly every inch of available surface. Everyone took a seat and raised a glass in toast of the holiday. Alisha saved Big, who was seated across from her, for last. He shot her a sexy little smirk before tapping his glass to hers. "Let's eat," she announced, averting his gaze as warmth surged to her cheeks. It was really proving difficult to keep their—whatever—a secret.

Conversation and laughter flowed around the table as they ate, and Maggie was remarkably more relaxed since she'd told James that she loved him. Her happiness multiplied when he told her he felt the same. She felt a tiny bit guilty for rushing off like that and leaving Alisha in charge of fixing the rest of the meal. But, she and James had gotten a little carried away after their verbal I love you exchange with some physical expression and they'd lost track of time. She leaned over to Alisha. "Thanks for getting everything finished. I'm really sorry about abandoning you."

Alisha grinned knowingly back at her friend. "No, you're not. And I wouldn't be either if I was in your shoes. I'm really happy for you, Fabs."

"Thanks, Lisha. I still can't believe it," she whispered, the bright as sunshine smile lighting up her pretty face.

She felt Big's foot nudging hers under the table. When she glanced up, she found him fully engaged in a conversation with Adam about the Giants. At first, she thought it had been an accident, but when his foot travelled higher up her leg, she should've known that he'd try and mess with her for his own amusement. Well, two could play that game. Slipping out of her shoes, she trailed a bare foot up his jean covered leg until her toes nestled against his crotch. Wiggling them gently, she lifted her fork to her lips and took a big bite of mashed potatoes, her eyes dancing playfully when he looked lazily over at her and arched a brow in warning. They really weren't very good at being inconspicuous today.

"Alisha, darling," Russell began, noticing the way her head snapped to his quickly like she'd just been caught with her hand in the cookie jar. He quelled the urge to grin.

"Yes, Russell?"

"Adam has this friend at work, Mark, and we—"

"You," Adam corrected pointedly, wanting to stay the hell out of it.

Russell stared indolently at his partner and then back at Alisha. "As I was saying, I think Mark would be perfect for you. Why don't we set that up?"

"Oh, that's—that's sweet, Russell, but no thank you," she said, trying to be polite.

"Come on," Russell prodded, sparing a glance at Big, who was leaning back in his chair, seemingly amused by the whole situation. "I showed him your picture and he's very interested in meeting you."

"Well, bully for Mark," Alisha said sarcastically, spearing the green beans forcefully with the tines of her fork. She was uncomfortable, to say the least.
