I polished off my drink and signaled to the bartender for a refill. “I’m never drinking tea again,” I announced, pushing the memory of Gottlieb’s tea bagging performance from my mind.

Inge took a deep swig. “And I’m never eating cake again, either.”

I found it impossible not to stare at the giant penis cake as my eyes made the scenic route back to my drink. Oddly enough, the giant penis cake was staring right back at me. The baked phallus loomed large with the words: ‘Cumgratulations Maddy.’

Truong was in charge of the cake, so really, I should have seen this one coming, pun intended.

I winced into my vodka. “I’m not so sure I’m up for eating baked genitalia.”

“I’m up for it!” Truong downed his drink and slammed his glass on the counter. “It just proves that I can have my cake and eat it too!”

Maddy pirouetted over to the bar and draped her arms around our shoulders. “I love my phallus cake, guys. I mean, the two of you have certainly outdone yourselves! Look at this schlong! Blue icing for the knards and chocolate shavings for the pubes! Really. I couldn’t have asked for a better cake.” She was teary-eyed and choking with emotion.

Clearly, she was drunk off her ass too.

“Well, I’m glad you love the cake,” said Truong, ensconced in his smug sense of superiority. “Pssh! All the bakery had was Buttercream Marbles. And I said: No, no, this will not do!”

I twisted back to my drink, staring into the clear liquid. “So this cake is your creation?”

Truong beamed like a beacon. “All mine. Anyway, enough about me.” He raised his glass. “I’d like to propose a toast to Maddy. Here’s a toast to love and laughter and happily ever after.”

“Hear, hear!” We clinked glasses.

“And,” I slurred, “here’s to being single, drinking doubles and seeing triple.”

We did another round of shots. “Salud!”

Maddy lifted her glass. “And I’d like to propose a toast to Kars. May you have a blast in Malaysia!”

I raised my glass even higher. “I’d like to propose a toast to Truong and Inge—who will be joining me!”

“WHAT?” Truong and Inge were practically shouting, “WE’RE GOING TO MALAYSIA?”

“Ooops!” I clapped a hand over my mouth. “My bad! I wasn’t supposed to say anything until next week.”

“So we’re going?” Inge’s voice was incredulous with disbelief.

Truong’s eyes bulged in their sockets. “Are we really?”

Oh! What the hell. The cat was already out of the bag. Besides, I was in a blindingly good mood and decided to dispense bonhomie to all.

“Yes!” I breathed, all flushed cheeks and bright eyes. “Carter said I could bring along two of my top sellers. And you two are it! You’ll help me spearhead the new call center and all your expenses will be paid for!”

Truong punched the air and shrieked, “Free trip!”

“An exotic getaway,” said Inge, staring into space with a still expression on her face. “Just like Eat, Pray, Love . . . Coconut trees swaying on white beaches. Snorkeling in waters filled with rainbow colored coral.
