Chapter Nine

TINSEL

Carol does a double take when I enter her dress shop. “What the hell are you doing, Tins?”

“You recognize me?!” I was sure this disguise was perfect.

I’m doing my best to avoid Jack at all costs. After what happened, I don’t think I can look him in the eyes. He spanked me and then came inside me before he just walked out. A girl can’t get some cuddle time? Not that I wanted any, but I would have liked the option to turn it down.

“I don’t want to hurt your feelings, but maybe undercover work isn’t your thing.”

“I’m not doing undercover work,” I mutter.

“Then what are you doing?” Carol laughs as she rubs her stomach. I’ve never seen anyone more adorable while pregnant than her. She has the perfect little baby bump that just popped out recently.

“What’s with all the questions? I’m the cop here. You want to tell me where you got that baby bump?” I point at her stomach, and Carol flushes.

“Your mama never told you about the birds and the bees?” she teases me.

Oh, she told me. She just happened to leave out the parts about the bees spanking the birds.

“Why is it even called that?” I scrunch my nose.

“I think it has to do with bees pollinating flowers, which symbolizes male fertilization, and the birds laying eggs equates to female ovulation.”

“I think they need to do an updated story.”

Carol snorts a laugh. “Why don’t you write one?”

“I’m a cop.” Why do I have to keep reminding people of this? Carol shakes her head at me like I’m ridiculous. I should investigate what bee pollinated Carol. Now that’s a mystery I’d love to solve.

“Is there something that brought you in here? You want to get your mom a dress for Christmas?”

“Hey, what if I want a dress? I rocked that red sweater dress the other night.”

“That was Frostie’s.”

“Jeez, you have to call me out?”

“All right, let me pull some dresses for you to try on,” she challenges, and I fold like a cheap chair.

“Whoa, let's calm down. I was only testing my disguise.”

“Well, if you think it’s going to work on Jack, you’re dead wrong. He was already by the coffee shop trying to find you.”

“Jack who?” Carol laughs. “Wait…” I snap my fingers. “He owns that resort, right? Place is a dump.”

“If that’s how you want to play it. It’s not like Frostie and I didn’t see him go up to your apartment and not come down for quite some time.”

Great, how many people saw that? Secrets in this town never stay that way for long. It’s probably why Carol isn’t saying who her baby daddy is. I have done the math, and I think it happened when she was out of town one week, but I could be wrong.

“Okay he kissed me,” I admit. “But there wasn’t tongue.” The bell over the door goes off, and Frostie comes walking in. “You told her I was here.”

“I did.” Carol shrugs unapologetically as Frostie locks the door behind her.
