I ask Stella. "And you? Are you a teacher too?"

Nina snorts and I look at them. "No, she majored in...."

Stella cuts her eyes at Nina, shooting darts, and fills in the answer. "Security. I majored in security."

I can’t hide my surprise with that answer. This girl weighs all of 100 pounds. "Security? Really? You don’t look like a badass."

A smirk plays on her lips. She is trying hard not to join her giggling friend. "It’s I.T. security."

"Are you a hacker?" I look back at the road.

Nina snorts again. "Sort of. It’s in social engineering." I cut my eyes at them. Now they have my attention.

"Social engineering? What’s that?" I play dumb.

Stella looks out the window and answers with a straight face. "I find and prevent perps from screwing corporate accounts up." She doesn’t take her eye off the sights outside.

"Hmm. I’ve heard they can infiltrate and hold servers hostage. Is that true?"

She looks surprised at me. "Yes. Absolutely and some of the really bad dudes have even demanded ransoms!"

"How do you find these bad guys?"

Nina burst out laughing again and we both look at her. "She performs penetration tests. HAHAHAHA!"

I can’t help but laugh with her and Stella smiles when I ask. "Really? What kind of penetration tests?"

She clears her throat and tries valiantly to be professional. "I’m a white hat."

Nina can’t help herself. She leans on the door and cackles, making me chuckle with her again.

Stella manages to remain serious. "Do you know what that is?"

"I do." I smile and wink.

Nina comes up for air and blurts. "My best friend is a virtual corporate condom." Then she snorts again and gives in to the giggles.

Stella laughs with us and tells me. "Wait for it. She’s not finished."

"She’s going to be going down on all the big dickheads too. HAHAHAHA! That’s sooooo fuuuuucking fuuuuuunny!"

We enjoy a good laugh as I maneuver to the curb outside Excalibur. "We have arrived, Ladies." Nina starts wiping her eyes and getting her giggles under control.

"The men from the Outback await you. I hope you enjoyed your ride." I lean over and pop the door open for them. Stella twists in the tight space, holds her phone up and asks. "Mind if we snapchat?"

I grin. "I don’t mind."

They do their thing, I give them a thumbs-up and a nice smile, then Stella gets out. Nina twists, puts her feet on the sidewalk and tries to rise. "Oh fuck! I’m stuck." She bursts out laughing again. "Stell, give me a hand."

She does and Nina grasps it and does her best to lift her ass up while Stella leans back, pulling as hard as she can, but it’s not enough. Nina is stuck. She lets go of Stella’s hand and plops back on the seat, while Stella stumbles backward, trying not to fall. Nina has another fit of giggles and I know she won’t be able to get out as long as she’s laughing, so I lean over, put my mouth right next to her ear, and drop my voice to a very deep tone, giving her a taste of seduction. "Baby Girl. You’re gonna need some big strong hands to help." Her laughter dies immediately. She freezes, listening. My voice stays low. "The problem with 6" heels in a sports car that’s only 15" off the road is the center of gravity shifts." She turns her head and looks me in the eye. I can smell the liquor on her breath. "I can help you if you want."

"What do you suggest?" Her voice is breathless.

"You can take your shoes off and climb out on your own, or I can give you a push."

"What kind of push?" She smirks, flirting.

"The kind that you will remember for the rest of your life."
