back in the process, then it’s a win-win. We killed two birds with one stone. I get to start functioning like a normal person again. And you get to go back to being happy and having tons of monkey sex.”
I choke out a laugh. “I never said that Danny and I used to have monkey sex.” I mean we did and a lot of it, but I definitely never said that.
“That man is sex personified. Even someone who wants nothing to do with men can see that. I highly doubt that you were ever bored or dissatisfied in the bedroom.” Her eyes are twinkling mischievously at me.
I can feel my face turning ten shades of red. “I can not believe that you just said that!” I stutter through my embarrassment.
“Just because I have no interest in letting a man near me ever again, doesn’t mean that I can’t appreciate a very masculine physique.”
I sigh. “You’ll find someone one day that will make you change your mind on that.”
She gives me a little shrug. “I doubt it. What man in his right mind is going to want damaged goods?”
“You are not damaged!” I hiss harshly on her behalf. “You had something done to you that no woman should ever have to endure. The only person who is damaged is that asshole. You are a beautiful and amazing woman. Any man with a quarter of a brain would be able to see that.” I hate what happened to her. No one deserves that, but especially not someone as caring and selfless as she is. If only murder wasn’t a crime.
“I wish that you were right. But come on, I can’t even be near a man without breaking out in a cold sweat. No man is going to want to deal with all of my issues when there are a million other women in the world without them. That’s just how it is.” She says in a heartbreaking tone. I wish that she could see herself as everyone else sees her.
I shake my head vehemently. “No, it’s not. Mark my words, one day you’ll find a man who cares for you so much that he’s willing to jump over any obstacle that you put in front of him. And when that day comes, I expect you to buy me a case of wine for putting it out there into the universe.”
She chuckles darkly. “I wouldn’t stop going to the liquor store if I were you.”
“You’ll see.” I reply. All the while hoping that the universe is listening. My sweet friend could really use a knight right about now, even a dark one would do.
Danny
I sense her even before I see her. It’s like my body gets hit by a lightning rod anytime that she’s near. Even the hairs on my arms stands at attention in her presence.
I haven’t seen her in a week, not since Becca walked in and doused the fire that was burning between us. Thinking back, I don’t know who was more upset about the interruption, Becca or me. She was so mad at her herself for ruining the chance of us getting back together. I haven’t seen her look that forlorn since she was a child and couldn’t get a specific doll that she wanted. And let me tell you, it’s weird as hell trying to console your child when your dick is telling you to run after the woman who raced out your house like her ass was on fire.
Damn I have been having the world’s shittiest luck lately. What else does the fucking universe want to throw at me? A fucking kidney stone?
My body goes ramrod straight as I turn in the direction of the front door. There is Stacey standing next to Kealy, who I had as my nurse during my hospital stay. Kealy always seemed a bit skittish, but right now she looks like she’s about to bolt. Stacey on the other hand looks like she would rather be having a root canal than be here. But even with the sour look on her face, she is still the most beautiful woman that I’ve ever seen. It also doesn’t help that she’s in skin tight black workout leggings and a fucking hot pink crop top.
I’m going to go to fucking jail today. I just know it. I’m going to end up killing some dumb mother fucker who hits on her. What man wouldn’t? She is like a walking wet dream. Blonde hair piled high on
