Page 7 of Love Song, Take Two

“Dexter, tell me why the book made you angry.”

He set the book in his lap, refusing to meet her eyes. “They were…easy words. I str-str-struggled.”

“Words might seem easy the first and second time, but they can sometimes get difficult later. The important thing to acknowledge is that you got them all.”

“I finished five pages!”

She held a hand up and grinned when Dexter gave her a high-five. He was still quite young, but Dexter was determined and that was enough. She could help him if he was interested in being helped, beyond that it was impossible to even consider guiding someone in the right direction. After escorting him out to his mother and a quick update on how the session had gone, Micah grabbed herself a large mug of freshly brewed coffee and returned to her office to new texts in the group she had with her best friends—Sadie and Tatum.

Sadie

Remind me again why I thought one night stands this close to 40 were a good idea?

Especially with younger men.

This stud blew my back out and I fucking thanked him for it.

Tatum

Does this mean you’re going to let him ride you again?

Sadie

Possibly. Depends on if he can keep it casual. Because I saw ‘love’ in his eyes last night.

Micah

How do you see love in someone’s eyes?

Sadie

When their eyes sparkle as their balls deep inside you, it’s love.

Tatum

Micah doesn’t know what that’s like, she’s been celibate for a millennia.

Micah

Try raising a kid on your own and you’ll be celibate too.

I encountered cobwebs during a self care session the other week.

Tatum

You should definitely get that checked out.

Sadie

Or you can borrow my stud for one hot ride.

Micah

No more one night stands for me, thanks.

Tatum

I’m sorry, NO MORE one night stands?
