“Don’t let him spank you again, okay?”
Just the thought of it sent me reeling. I was more worried he may never spank me again. Wouldn’t tell her that though.
A tap at the door snapped our attention toward it.
Bailey leaped out of the chair and took a peek out of the window. “It’s Tara.”
I pushed myself to my feet.
Tara stepped inside and waited for Bailey to close the door behind her.
“I thought I’d find you here,” said Tara.
“We’re so glad you’re here,” I wanted her to know.
Tara folded her arms. “So it’s all right for you to have a friend,” she pointed to me, “but the minute I go surfing you freak out?”
My shoulders slumped and I felt sorry for Bailey.
“We’ve been friends for years,” said Bailey. “Mia and I go way back. We’re only friends.”
Tara’s accusatory stare held my surprised one.
“I told her how much you love her, Tara,” I said.
“Mia, I can see your nipples through that thing,” she said.
Wrapping my arms around myself I said. “I was taking a bath.”
“Alone?” seethed Tara.
“Yes, alone,” I snapped. “Just didn’t dry off probably.”
She looked deflated and her focus fell back on Bailey. “I’m freaking out that we’re over. We’re not, are we?”
“I hope not,” said Bailey. “I’m sorry for being so possessive. I never got over this Australia thing. I put on a brave face because you were so excited about it and I didn’t want to cramp your sense of adventure. It’s what I love about you.” Her tears fell.
“Oh, babe,” said Tara. “I’m not going anywhere.”
I slumped into the armchair, feeling the day’s adventures finally catching up.
Tara and Bailey canoodled, looking so cute together, making up in record time.
“Yay,” I said, cheering them on.
They finally broke apart.
Tara came over to me. “So you got your job back?”
I brought my legs up onto the chair and tucked them under me. “I did. Thank you for that sound advice.” I rolled my eyes.
“To be honest I didn’t think you’d go through with it,” said Tara. “I mean really, it’s very sluts gone wild.”
“Hey.” My legs dropped from beneath me and I sat up defensively. “You’re the one who suggested it.”
“Don’t get me wrong.” Tara held up her hand. “I’m happy you got your job back.”
I cupped my face in my hands.
