Chapter 16

“Tell us everything,” Winter demanded as the girls sat down for dinner at Lou’s favorite local brewery.

“Yes! Give us aaall the dirty details,” Jazz prodded loudly, causing a group of blue-haired little old ladies to cast angry looks their way.

“Dear Lord, can you tone it down a bit?” Louise gave the other table an apologetic glance. “Is this seriously how we’re going to spend the girls’ night?”

“What do you mean?” Winter looked offended. “Are you suggesting that we waste a perfectly good night out, without the men—”

“And Junior,” Jazz interrupted.

Winter nodded. “And Junior, and not talk about how you and Nix are attached at the hip lately?”

Louise tried to keep the smile off her face, but lately she had been smiling more often than not. Flagging down the waiter, she ordered a Cyclist, her favorite citrus-beer concoction. While her friends ordered their own drinks, she thought about what she wanted to share with them. Part of her wanted to scream from the rooftops how happy she was with Nix, but the other part didn’t want to jinx what they had going.

Knowing that she couldn’t stall for long, Louise pretended to study the menu for a few moments.

“C’mon, Lou, you know you get the fish and chips every single time. Stop wasting our precious dick-free moments and spill the beans.”

Louise almost spit out the beer she was sipping. “Are you trying to kill me?” She asked with a choking cough.

“Not before you tell us everything we need to know,” Jazz said in a very poor Russian accent, wiggling her eyebrows.

“Alright, alright.” Louise gave in. “I’m not going to go into details, but I will answer some questions.”

“Goodie!” Jazz practically danced in her chair.

“First…a toast,” Louise announced, holding up her beer and waiting for the women to join her. “To friends!”

“To friends!” They clinked their glasses together.

“Now, no more stalling. You and Nix have been barely away from each other for the last four weeks. In fact, I personally heard him turn down an invite to some strip clubs the other night, and he used you as an excuse.”

Lou frowned. “What strip clubs?”

Winter waved her hand in the air. “Don’t worry about that. Some of the single guys go in a group once a month or so. The important part of the story is what Nix said when he was asked to go. Do you want to know what he said? He said, ‘no thanks, I got my woman at home,’” Winter mimicked in a deep voice. “If it hadn’t been so caveman, it would have been sweet.”

“Awww, that’s still sweet in my opinion, but I like it when Leo goes all ‘me man, you woman’ on me.” Jazz thumped her chest as though she were Tarzan, causing them all to giggle.

“So, we’ve been dating for four weeks or so.” Louise shrugged. “Actually, it was more like we had one date, and he basically never left.”

“What does that even mean?” Winter asked, signaling for another beer.

“Exactly what it sounds like, actually.
