“I have sexy news and weird news.” Sitting down across from Leander, I ignored his sigh. “Which do you want first?”

Cocking his head, he frowned. “Isn’t it supposed to be good news and bad news?”

“Yes, but that didn’t work in this situation, so I fixed it.” Sometimes words just needed to be more flexible.

Leander’s sigh came back. “What did you do?”

“Um, nothing out of the ordinary.” He always expected the worst when I started a story. He was definitely aglass half emptykind of guy.

Orglass half-filled with poisonkind of guy since he watched so many true crime shows.

“That doesn’t narrow it down.” Frowning, he crossed his arms over his chest and looked a bit like some of my teachers in high school. “Confess and explain.”

He was so dramatic…and unfortunately not as hot as my teachers had been.

“Well, I told the tall one I could climb him like a monkey. I told the short one that he’d be a good body pillow. He’s just the right size and he wasn’t offended. I like short guys. They havea better center of gravity and can really pound you.” Leander looked like I’d offended someone, but the short guy had just grinned and strutted around the rest of the day.

What else?

I was forgetting something…I knew I should’ve taken notes.

“Oh, and I told the one who looks bored that I knew how to cheer him up. Honestly, that wasn’t meant to be as dirty as it came out.” Shrugging, I didn’t let it bother me. “But it came out, so I have to count it too.”

He was justsodistracting.

“Oh, and I should probably add in the young one because he giggles every time I walk into a room. So I’ve done something.” I wasn’t sure what I’d done, though.

Leander rolled his eyes. “That doesn’t explain nearly as much as you think it does.”

“Really?” Hmm. “It doesn’t?”

What had I left out?

Oh.

“Okay, maybe I left out the important part. It’s just been a long week.” They started so early and I didn’t have the common sense to go to bed at a decent time. “I have a Secret Santa. It’s one of my contractors. But I don’t know which one.”

Leander’s donkey brays had me rolling my eyes. “Stop laughing.”

“I’m not going to agree to that.” Barely catching his breath, he closed his eyes and shook his head. “Only you could end up in a situation this ridiculous.”

Ugh, he didn’t even know the full story yet.

“It’s worse. I don’t know which one it is and I was under the assumption they’re all straight.” It was very confusing. “They all have ex-girlfriends.”

I knew that because they gossiped and teased each other a lot.

A lot.

So I knew there were a variety of exes running around the area and some were crazier than others. The tall one liked spicy crazy. The short one liked shy girls that madehimcrazy. The giggler hadn’t dated nearly enough but he was still young. Oh, and my bored guy liked girls who were good with math and had too much common sense.

I wasn’t sure how that was bad but his tone and the rest of the guys’ laughter said it was tragic…and hilarious.

“They might be bi or they might be fucking with you.” Leander wasn’t as helpful as he thought if those were his only options.
