I'm giggling my ass off. Don't ask me why, but everything is frickin' hilarious. All I have to do is look at Emma who is sitting on the couch, looking like some goddamn Buddha, looking all serene and shit and I about wet myself laughing. Emma, whose little compact body usually is charged with energy, is sitting there like she's grown roots. I burst out laughing again. I think I'm supposed to rub the Buddha's belly aren't I?

"Hey Caleb! Where are ya?"

Walking in from the new extension out back, Caleb takes one look at us and shakes his head, grinning.

"Christ, you two. You're high as kites."

"Caleb, aren't you supposed to rub Buddha's belly? For good luck or something?"

"That's what some folk believe yeah. Why?"

"See, I told you." I say to Emma who sits there and simply smiles at me. I'm a little worried, so I wave my hands in front of her face. "Emma, I gotta rub Buddha's belly for good luck. I really need some good luck."

Since she just keeps smiling, I pull up the edge of her oversized shirt. "Here, hold this up, will ya?"

Emma doesn't question me at all, she just pulls up her shirt as high as she can. Just as I rub my hands over her belly, tears of laughter running down my face, the front door opens and Gus comes in.

"What. The. Fuck."

Uh oh. I don't think Gus is happy.

"Hi honey." Emma smiles, her shirt still up under her chin and my hands are still on her belly. I can hear Caleb snickering behind me.

"Emma, why do you have your shirt up."

I feel I need to explain this, so I raise my hand. "Uhm. It's for good luck. I need it."

From the puzzled look on Gus' face, I see my explanation fell short somewhere, but apparently it was funny ‘cause Caleb is now laughing out loud so I join him. Christ, I feel happy.

"Caleb. Wanna explain why my woman is exposing herself? And why the girls are baked out of their brains?"

Caleb is trying to keep a straight face but he seems to have a hard time with it every time he looks over at Emma and me. I'm still rubbing her belly 'cause I need all the luck I can get.

"Sorry, Boss. The girls had one of Emma's truffles for dessert. I thought they were sharing one, but I have a sneaky suspicion they each had a whole one. Arlene thinks Emma looks like Buddha and wants to rub her belly for luck." Not able to hold back any longer, he bursts out laughing.

"Fucking brilliant." Gus runs his hand through his hair and mutters under his voice, but he can't stop the smile teasing the corner of his mouth. He walks over to us, kisses me on the head and Emma on the lips and gently tugs her shirt down. "Enough rubbing, Arlene. You're gonna wear out a spot."

That has me rolling on the couch again and this time I have to hold on to my own stomach, which is starting to hurt from all the laughing.
