Chapter 16

David laughed as Nicole ran into the washroom and grabbed the candy cane dildo to return it to its proper place.

“Oh my God,” she said. “That could have been a disaster. Though perhaps my grandmother wouldn’t have realized what it was. She just would have asked why I had a Christmas ornament out in March.” Nicole started laughing, sounding slightly hysterical.

Now dressed and free of morning breath, David came into the bedroom and rubbed her shoulders.

“Hey, it’s okay,” he said. “We found it, you put it away. Anything else?”

Just then, there was some vigorous knocking on the front door, and David followed Nicole out of the bedroom.

She opened the door to reveal Po Po and Kelsey.

“Are you surprised?” Po Po asked.

“Yes, very surprised,” Nicole said, and David tried not to laugh at her tone.

“Ah, David, you are here, too. Nice to see you again. You are her boyfriend now?”

“No, he’s not. We’re friends.”

“It is just very suspicious. I surprise you with visits twice, and both times he is here.”

“Indeed,” Kelsey said.

Nicole gave her a dark look. “To what do I owe the pleasure of this visit?”

“You are grumpy,” Po Po said. “I must have interrupted sex.”

This appeared to render Nicole speechless, and David couldn’t help feeling amused. After all, this was the woman who’d confidently handcuffed him to her bed last night.

“No, no,” he said, since she was incapable of forming words. “I’m just stopping by because we’re going to H-Mart. We’ll catch an Uber back together to save money.” He hoped that sounded believable.

Kelsey twisted her lips, but Po Po said, “Yes, this is smart.”

He congratulated himself on the “saving money” part.

“We talked about getting bungeoppang on the way, too,” he said, really getting into this domestic fantasy and hoping it would distract Kelsey from any suspicions she had.

“What’s bungeoppang?” Kelsey asked.

“It’s like taiyaki,” he said. “There’s a little place on the walk to H-Mart.”

“What is taiyaki?” Po Po asked Kelsey. “I’ve never had it.” She pushed her granddaughter’s shoulder to get her attention.

“It’s a pastry in the shape of a fish with sweet red bean paste.”

“That sounds like a good breakfast to me,” Nicole said.

He imagined buying her one, hot off the grill, and the orgasmic sounds she’d make as she bit into it.

Kelsey frowned. “Why would you take an Uber back from H-Mart? Isn’t it really close?”

“Yeah, it’s not too far,” he said, “but it’s annoying to carry all the bags back.”

Po Po stabbed his bicep with her finger. “Wah, are you not strong enough? Nicole, tell him to build bigger muscles!”

He didn’t mind her light-hearted teasing. Nicole’s family was infinitely preferrable to Steph’s. Not that he and Nicole were together, but somehow, he’d manage to meet her grandmother. Twice.

“Po Po, stop it,” Nicole said.

“You know what we should do? We have a car. We will all go to H-Mart together and drive you home! And you will show me where to get these fish pastries. A fun family trip.”

“It’s really not—”

“I insist! Why waste money
