“Mia and Suzy?” Ma asked.
“Yep. It’s a girls’ night out. The boys are all going to play poker at Joe’s place while we have drinks.”
“Just be careful,” he said as I kissed him quickly.
“I will, Daddy.”
“Call me tomorrow, dear,” my ma said as she walked me to the door.
“I will, Ma. Love ya.”
“Love you too, my sweet child.”
After we kissed goodbye, I headed to my car feeling entirely different than what I’d felt when I’d arrived.
Maybe I needed to give James another chance. Either that or I needed my head to be examined. I’d think about it over drinks.
I downed another shot of Patron, sucking on a lemon before I wiped my lips. My legs felt numb from the three shots I’d already ingested.
“Izzy, you may want to slow down,” Suzy suggested, sipping her virgin something or other.
“I got this shit,” I said, slurring my words as I threw the lemon on the napkin in front of me. Picking up my phone, I typed out a little message to James.
Me: What are you wearing?
I giggled, figuring I’d turn the tables on him. He wasn’t the only one who could send nudies.
“Okey-dokey,” she whispered, rubbing her belly and frowning. “I can’t carry you out of here tonight.”
Cocky Bastard: How much have you had to drink?
Me: Enough.
Cocky Bastard: Clearly you’ve reached your limit.
“What?” I asked, missing what Suzy had just said.
“I can’t carry your drunk ass out of here,” she repeated.
I blinked, my vision partially clouded and my mind a little muddled. “Mia can do it,” I slurred, laughing before I typed another message.
Me: You’re always so serious. Do you even know how to have fun?
I set my phone down on the table, resting my head in my hand.
“Bitch, I’ll roll ya out, but I sure as fuck am not carrying you anywhere.”
“Whore.” I laughed, moving my head to rest on the table.
“I think we should get the check,” Suzy said, touching my chair.
I lifted my head, squinting toward her to bring her face into focus. “Don’t you dare! We’re not done here.”
“What’s crawled in your snatch and died tonight?” Mia asked, polishing off her martini.
“James.” I smiled, the dopy grin spreading across my face. I felt heat creep up my neck and settle in my cheeks. My entire body overheated. I pulled at the scoop neck on my shirt, trying to cool off.
Cocky Bastard: I think I showed you a good time not so long ago. Let me remind you.
Suddenly a picture of his cock, piercing and all, popped up on my screen. I blushed as I stared at it, almost in a trance.
“He has your panties in a wad,” Mia teased, raising her hand to get the attention of the waitress.
“He hasn’t been in my panties since last weekend,” I croaked with a frown as I scrubbed my hands across my face.
“Missing him?” Suzy asked with a cocked eyebrow.
“I kicked him out of bed.” I set my phone down on the table and looked at my girls with a giant-ass smile. I was proud that I’d kicked his ass out of bed.
“You did what?” they asked in unison, moving backward as if I’d slapped them.
Mia leaned forward, confusion all over her face. “Back the fuck up. You kicked him out of bed?”
“Shameful,” Suzy muttered, shaking her head and staring with her beady blue eyes.
“I did,” I yelped, slamming my hand down on the table. I tossed my head back and giggled, thinking that the entire situation was funny. I stopped when I realized that I was the only one laughing. “What?” I asked, calling over the waitress.
“Why the fuck would you do that?” Mia asked.
“Hello? James is a bossy fuck.”
“He’s sexy too.”
I smirked and looked at Suzy. “I know.”
“Are you going to be a hardass your entire life?” Mia asked, handing over cash to the waitress and shooing her away.
“I wasn’t being a hardass.”
“No, you’re being a pussy,” Mia spat.
“Am not.” I stuck out my tongue at her and snarled.
“And a child.”
“I’m drunk,” I blurted, burping and covering my mouth.
“Have you at least talked with him?” Suzy asked, taking another sip of her drink.
“When is that baby going to pop out so you can drink with us again?” I asked, leaning over the table and poking her belly.
“More months than I wish to count.”
“It better have a pussy, dear Suzy. No more cocks in this family.” I sat back down just as the waitress approached. “Ahh, perfect timing,” I howled as I grabbed the drink off her tray and set it in front of me without spilling a drop.
“We want it to be a surprise,” Suzy said, smiling.
“Surprises suck,” I shot back. “To pussy!” I yelled, holding my glass high before taking a sip. To my shock, it wasn’t what I’d ordered. “What the fuck is this?” I asked, looking at the drink.
“I cut your ass off,” Mia replied.
“You’re such a party pooper.”
“You’ll thank me tomorrow.”
“Are you going to see him again?”
I turned my head to look at Suzy as her words registered with me. My brain had to work overtime to process each phrase. Clearly Mia had been right in cutting off my drinks.
“Who?” I asked, swaying in my chair.
“For the love of God,” Suzy whined, looking toward the ceiling.
“Is he there?”
“Who?” she asked.
“I dunno…God?”
“Jesus, girl. Get your shit together,” Suzy scolded me, biting her lip to stifle a laugh.
“Why? We leaving?”
“Are you going to see James again?” Suzy said, leaning forward, almost resting her belly on the table.
“You don’t have to be so serious,” I said, blinking slowly and opening my eyes wide. I felt like I was sitting there with my eyes closed, looking through slits.
“Mia, I’m gonna choke her ass out. You talk to her.” Suzy leaned back in her chair as she glared at me.
“James, Izzy. Are you going to see him again?”
“Fuck,” I muttered, trying to look at my phone, but my eyes were almost crossed. “We were texting and he said I’m to call him as soon as I get inside tonight and he’ll be over after work tomorrow or at least that’s what he said.”
“I like him,” Suzy said, a sappy grin on her face.
“You would,” I said, resting my head in my hand. I felt like I had a bowling ball rolling around in my head. I just wanted to lie down for a bit.
“Come on, princess. It’s time to get you home. You’re going to need your
