“Uh- why are you quiet?” Mel says, snapping me out of my thoughts.

“No reason. I was just fixing my hair.” I say, jolting up in the upright position.

“Oh no, you don't. What is it? What are you hiding?”

I try not to spill the beans because I want to so badly. But at the same time, it was also annoying how intuitive she was with me sometimes. It’s what I loved and hated about having a Virgo as one of my best friends.

“Abigail Asher, what happened?” She says through the phone as she waits for my response.

“Nothing,” I let out a groan. “It’s nothing.”

“You’re such a liar. I know you’re not telling me something juicy, and unless there is another guy you aren’t telling me about, it has to do with Colt. So spill.”

“Nothing, we just kind of , sort of, kissed.” I can feel my cheeks flush and my ears burn from embarrassment.

She screeches into the phone so loud I have to pull the phone away from my ear.

“That’s what I'm talking about! How was it? Was it one of those passionate movie kisses or aggressive caveman kisses? Please tell me it didn’t suck. Don’t ruin this fantasy I have going for Colt Killian.”

“No, it was-”

The best kiss I’ve ever had. “Hot,” I say, unable to contain my dizziness from the thought alone.

“Yas, girl, yass! Oh, it's so going to happen.”

“Stop it, it is not.”

“Yes, it is. And besides, you need it to happen.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“Not like that, but Abigail, you overthink everything. Just have fun. Fuck an NFL player. Let him use you. I swear to you, it will not make you feel bad. I mean, if anything, it will boost your confidence. Let the man worship you. He is a little older, too, so I’m sure he learned a thing or two fucking hundreds of women.”

A burning sensation rises in my throat down to my core. That shouldn’t make me feel jealous, but it does.

“He’ll return to Arizona soon, and you’ll be getting your own place. You’re always talking about signs. Well, I’m pretty sure this is a sign from God telling you to fuck-Colt-Killian out of your system. Ain't no way you aren’t attracted to the guy. We all have eyes here. And it’s what you need, girl. Soak it up. Let a man like that make you feel good.”

“Pretty sure that’s not the message God would send. Besides, what about Naomi? And he has a son. What if they find out?.”

“First of all, do not care about your cousin's feelings. After you heard what that bitch said at the wedding. No ma’am. And second of all, that’s what will make it hot! You can sneak around and fuck in all the naughty places while Bodie is watching a movie or something.”

I can practically see the twinkle in her eyes from miles away. “Girl, I’m even getting turned on thinking about it.”

Another laugh slips from my lips. “You are sick.”

“Maybe, but I do know what I’m talking about. I promise you, Asher, once he’s done with you, ain’t no girl or mirror going to make you feel like shit ever again. You have a banging body that you work so hard for. So, put that body to good use. Don't forget, you only live once.” I hear her snap her fingers in the background.

“Oh my God, I don’t know if I should thank you for being the best friend ever or hang up for giving the worst advice on the planet.”

“You can thank me later once Colt’s big cock makes you cum, as you’re screaming his name.”

Heat pulsates in my clit from her words. Making me remember what a hard erection felt like between my thighs.

“And I know he’s got a big one. I’ve seen the man in those cleats, so don’t even try to act like it’s not.”

I slap a hand to my forehead, shaking my head in disbelief.

“Let me know how your first night on the job alone goes. And you better strut your stuff in that bar. Be good practice when you do it at home or around Colt. A man loves a challenge, but you know what men love more?”
