Page 75 of Best Frenemies

“You are off your rocker! I hated him.”

She laughs like a damn hyena. “Well, you sure as hell don’t hate him now. I’m just disappointed I wasn’t there to see the shift of the tide.”

“You’re sad you weren’t there to watch us have sex?”

“So, it was full-on sex then, huh?” She waggles her eyebrow. “How many times?”

“Too many times,” I admit on a groan.

“And…” She pauses and leans closer to me, even dropping her voice to a whisper. “Were my predictions correct?”

Good with his mouth and a big cock.

All I can do is close my eyes and nod.

“Hell yes!” Anna whoops in delight. “I knew that man was good in bed. It’s written all over his handsome face. Gah! I am so happy for you! After the bullshit Ricky put you through, you deserve to have some good sex.”

“No need to get all crazy about it,” I say by way of trying to calm her randy ass down. “It was just a vacation fling. It’s not going to be a regular thing.”

“Why the hell not?”

“Because this is Mack Houston we’re talking about. For starters, he’s my coworker, and he’s the last guy you get in a relationship with.”

“Who said anything about commitment?” Anna retorts. “I’m not saying to marry the guy. I’m saying to have some damn fun.”

“But I work with him…”

“Great. Easy access. Just don’t bang him during school hours, and you’re all set.”

I cringe over the fact that I almost did that two days ago in the damn auditorium.

“Wait…” She pauses, narrowing her pretty brown eyes at me. “Don’t tell me you actually did the dirty in—”

“No,” I cut her off before she can say it out loud. “It did not get that far.”

Anna squeals. “Holy hell, my best friend is finally letting her little floozy out. I flipping love it.”

“You’re a terrible influence, you know that? You shouldn’t be condoning this type of behavior.”

“But see, that’s exactly why you’re friends with me. You need me to encourage you to shake up your Marie Kondo life so you can give in to being a little bad sometimes.”

I wish I could say that I think she’s completely nuts, but there’s a part of me that wonders if Anna is right. Would it really be wrong to have a little more fun with Mack?

Just alittlemore temporary fun?

When I look across the table, Anna is nodding at me. “Yes, Katy. Whatever you’re thinking right now,yes.”

“You don’t even know what I’m thinking,” I snap. “I could be plotting someone’s murder, and you’re just sitting there and encouraging it.”

She eyes me knowingly. “The only murder you’re plotting is of your vagina, and it’ll be from Mack Houston’s massively huge cock.”

“Oh my God.” I groan and drop my head into my hands. “I think I need to ignore you for a few minutes. You’re making me question my sanity.”

“Okay, that’s perfect because I need to run to the bathroom before our food gets here,” she says and reaches out to squeeze my shoulder. “You can ignore me while I’m gone.”

When I glance up at her, she offers a wink at me before hopping up from the booth.

A moment later, she disappears inside the bathroom, and my phone pings with another notification. I check the screen to find another text from my dad.
