Chapter Twelve

Kit admired the clench of Remi’s tight, little ass as he sauntered away to walk across the lot beside Keys, who also had world class man buns.

“Holy crap,” Lindi said, with the air of making a discovery. “You haven’t made up your mind between Keys and Remi, have you?”

Kit straightened with a snap, and then hurried to begin packing up the food containers. “What? Who, me? I’m just enjoying the view, that’s all.”

“You are so full of it,” Lindi said. Her voice turned urgent with concern. “For God’s sake, don’t play them against each other, Kit. You’ve got one pissed off biker on your trail, do you really want two more?”

Okay, that hurt. “Maybe you should remember that I’m almost as old as you are,” she said, piling containers in her arms. “And that I’ve already got one mom, I don’t need another.”

Her glow of happy arousal was doused like a pissed-on campfire, and the suffocating blanket of anxiety was back, with the added weight of hurt. Lindi, one of the people who knew her best, clearly had no faith that she could handle any of this.

Lindi followed her silently inside. She waited until Kit had put the food in the fridge before speaking up. “I’m sorry, honey,” she said. “I just—”

Kit waved her hands. “Look, I know you love me, Lin. But it was only a couple of months ago you were the one leaping into bed with a stranger. Luckily, Jack turned out to be a great guy. Well, Keys and Remi are great guys too, and—” and she could hardly tell Lindi she was going to leap into Keys’ bed with both of them. “I’ll figure this out for myself.”

Silence fell between them, broken only by the twang of a steel guitar from the boom box outside.

Lindi nodded, looking subdued. “Right. So, want some help cleaning up the rest of this? Then can you show me one more time how to download songs onto my phone, puh-lease? Because I screwed it up again.” Her tone said she was willing to look stupid herself to get back in Kit’s good graces.

Kit took the out gratefully, because she hated fighting with anyone, especially her bestie. “Yes, I’ll show you again. Although I may start charging you for repeat training.”

Lindi snapped her fingers. “Hey, that reminds me--I do have some cash for you. Your pay and tips from the last few days.”

Lindi dug in her purse, a cute, fringed, black leather bag Kit hadn’t seen before, which meant Jack had taken her shopping again, and handed over an envelope. “I split the tips between the three of us.”

“Thanks,” Kit said gratefully. She stuffed the envelope in the pocket of her skirt. “Now I can pay Keys back for the phone he bought me.”

“Yeah, good luck with that,” Lindi said wryly, as she wiped down the counter top. “Bet you a buck he won’t take it.”

“I’m pretty sure you’re right. He’s been taking notes from Jack. ‘Bitches don’t pay, I pay.
