“Fuck, yeah, baby!” East chirps, and I smile so wide, loving her determination.

“I love you, Caro,” I tell her.

“I love you, too. All of you. Even you, Coby,” she quips, and he chuckles.

“We love you right back,” Coby beams.

“Okay, I gotta go… apparently, there are reporters at the front door now. Fucking hell, I swear I’m gonna just flash them, give them somethingrealto talk about.”

Rolling my eyes, I shake my head. “Caro—”

“Don’t worry, little miss goody-two-shoes, I won’t actually flash them, but I gotta go. East your cock is my jam, peace out fuckers.” And the line goes dead.

We all chuckle as I place my phone back in my pocket.

“She’s inmuchbetter spirits.” Coby smirks.

East stands taller. “My cock is her jam.”

Pursing my lips at him, I huff and shake my head. “That’s all you got from that conversation? Really?”

He chuckles. “Hey, I can’t help it if she thinks my cock is the best thing in her world, Lacy. I mean, you had the opportunity to go for all this…” he waves his hands up and down his body, “… but you went for that instead.” He points to Coby, who scoffs and punches his arm.

“Hey!” Coby defends.

“Coby’s all the man I need. I don’t think I could handle…all that.” I scowl as he chuckles.

“Whatever… you love my man meat.”

Pursing my lips, I flare my nostrils slightly. “Yeah… I really don’t.”

He chuckles as Coby kisses my hair. “You guys suck. You could at least pretend that you love me.”

“Oh, East… oh, East… sweep me off my feet and pleasure me with your love rod,” I say in a sickly -sweet voice as Coby and East burst out laughing.

“Oh God, Lacy, that was terrible… love rod? Dude, does she talk to you like that?” East asks.

“Nope, definitely not. That’s reserved for you, my friend,” he answers.

I smile and shake my head.

“Okay, well, that’s enough to scar me for life. Lacy, I’m sorry, but can we just be friends?” East jokes, and I offer a fake frown before laughing.

“Okay, it hurts, but okay.”

“Right, I’m off, got things to do, burgers to eat.” East walks off, leaving Coby and I to cuddle in the corner.

Chuckling to myself, I gaze into Coby’s beautiful blue eyes. “How did I get so lucky?”

He furrows his brows and tilts his head slightly. “What do you mean?”

“Well, I have two amazing friends and a guy who takes my breath away.”

Coby smirks, pressing his forehead against mine. “So this guy? Do I know him?”

Giggling, I lean up, pressing my lips to his softly. That spark, that tingle that’s always there, doesn’t fail me, and it sets off a blaze inside me. Coby is the fire that burns deep inside my soul. I just have to tell him that I want to be with him. We’re both at a crossroads where we can either be together or keep this as just a casual thing. But I need more from him and I know he wants this too.

“Can we go to the nook? There’s something I want to talk to you about?” he asks.
