The moment it went off, it made me sad to leave, telling me I wanted another date with him, but I didn't want to look too eager. "That's my cue."

"And yet you're not standing," he stated the obvious. I bit my lip.

"Maybe you can be available again?" I stood from my chair to grab my purse from the back of it.

"I have a feeling we'll see each other real soon," he said, standing from his spot to give me a hug. He kept it simple, but I could smell his deliciousness. The lavender and mintchasing as I stepped away. Yeah, I could breathe that in while calling him Daddy.

"We'll see," I teased and walked away. God, it felt so good to have decent date, but I didn't want to jinx it by being too excited. Instead, I headed for the bank with the deposit my father needed done. Part of me didn't want to leave, but I knew my father would be waiting to see the cash move into the account. He was always a stickler about it, so I never mentioned these small detours I had along the way to the bank. My purse contained checks worth almost fifty grand, so I made sure I could feel it at all times to not lose it.

The sun was out just enough through the clouds that I put my sunglasses on as I began my walk down the sidewalk. I chose a coffee shop only a block away, so it wouldn't take me too long to get there. Everyone felt like they were in a rush around me, so I took them in. My phone rang before long, seeing Luce's face cover my screen with a picture of what I was hoping was her elbow pinched together because if not, she put her ass crack as her profile.

"When did you change your photo?" I said instead of greeting her.

"Oh, honey, I have all the passwords, so whenever I damn well please."

Rolling my eyes, she couldn't see it or the grin on my face. Luce did quirky shit like this constantly, and it always brightened my day. "Please tell me that's your elbow."

"Nope." She popped the P. "The original is in your recents, if you want the full moon."

Only she could make me laugh and curse at the same time. "And why do I need this full moon and ass crack?"

"So you don't slip through the cracks," she snorted like it was the funniest joke in the world. "You know, because you had a date."

"Funny you act socheeky. Are youbummedout too?" I threw back.

"Vic, you can't do this to me. You know I'm like a dog begging for a bone when it comes to these jokes."

"Okay, I'll open it up until we run out of quips." Snickering, I braced for impact. Luce was someone who could keep serving once we dished. "What did one butt cheek say to the other?"

"Yesss," she hissed, loving the game I made, pondering what she wanted to use as ammo. "Between you and me, some shit's about to go down."

"In mine, our cheeks are on a plane," I prefaced. "Of course they had to sit an asshole between us."

This conversation took place as I casually strolled down the sidewalk. None of the bystanders heard my best friend heaving for breaths on the other end of the phone. They didn't know we were fucked up and owned it, but I did. Sadly, the bank entrance was only a few feet away. At least I could go in with a smile from two things today.

"Hey, Luce, we'll have to finish later because I have to head into the bank."

"Ugh. After all the crap we've been through, we're still together." Yup, she nailed me with another one to end our call. "Oh! But I wanted to ask you how the date went?"

"Your interrupting call is about fifteen minutes too late," I grumbled.

"Bitch, please. You gave that man twenty minutes of your time. You can handle that on your own. I can't hold your hand through everything."

Instead of answering, I threw another question at her because she deserved where it would lead. "What did one pussy lip say to the other?"

"What?"

"We used to be tight till we let all those dicks come between us." I waited for her to calm down before finishing our call. "And today's dick just might. Okay, love you! Bye!"

There, now she'd be left without details. I ended it before moving into the bank, noticing a text from Leopold.

Leopold: See you soon, Vicki.

I got another message right after, making me hide the bubble of humor that nearly slipped. The bank was busy like it usually was during lunch time.

Luce: ??????

Swoon. I needed a man to boss me around a little bit, but I promised to reply with something snarky, once I thought of it. My time in the line was spent doing just that, wondering what I could say that would both engage him and enrage him. It was my favorite combo because the right man would love it, but the wrong men whined like little bitches. There'd only be room for one brat in my life, and that was myself.
