The driver pulled away when Colin gave him the address to where they were going. He’d looked at the neighborhood ahead of time through Google maps and deducted that Olivia’s friend and her husband did well for themselves.

Not that he was judging.

Twenty minutes later they’d pulled up into a gated community, one that was smaller and not as rich as theirs but still leagues out of what Olivia could have imagined just half a year ago. She bounced excitedly in the chair next to him, and he felt his heart swell as he looked at the ring she’d gifted him on his finger. She was too much.

They pulled in front of a very nice house that looked similar to the one off of Home Alone, but more modern and with very pretty landscaping.

She rolled the window down to stick her head out the door and Colin was gifted a very pleasing view of her backside as she began to wave vigorously. Stella, who’d just appeared out of the house, was waving back excitedly with a big smile on her face. Colin looked past Olivia to see that Stella was doing an excited little bounce of her own, her husband appearing out of the door next to her. He turned to lock up the house before she took his hand and tried to bulldoze her way to the limo. Olivia opened the door and unfolded herself from the limo, running to her friend and snatching her up in an excited hug.

Colin chuckled as the tall African American man bent down to give Olivia a half hug. Stella’s husband’s face broke out into a wider smile at Olivia’s excitement, keeping his hand firmly around his wife. They entered the limo and settled in their seats. Colin reached forward and gave Stella’s husband a firm handshake.

“Colin. Nice to meet you,” he said pleasantly, feeling in a very good mood due to Olivia.

“I’m Vincent. ‘Sup man?” Vincent looked at Colin and gave a respectful nod towards Olivia. “And you’re the friend I’ve heard so much about,” he flashed her a smile, his teeth gleaming white in the muted light of the car.

Olivia smiled back, liking the man’s energy, seemingly a lot like Jonathan’s.

“Better be ALL good things!” she said teasingly, sipping on her drink she heard Colin tell the couple to drink whatever. There was a shuffling as Vincent moved quickly to make Stella a drink, and then held it to her lips. She leaned forward and sucked at the straw, moaning slightly as he tilted the glass away and put it back in the holder.

Colin met the man’s eye who gave him a discrete nod at his look, seeing him put his arm around Stella and holding her close.

Colin peeked at Olivia who was blinking rather confusedly, a small smile on her face as she looked between the couple. She hooked one of her legs around Colin’s, a thrill going through her as he placed his hand on top, curling his fingers around and digging in slightly.

The men started to talk about Vincent's security company and Olivia leaned forward slightly to speak to Stella.

“Hey, did Dr. Ferguson give you a bad grade on that test we got at the beginning of the week?” she said quietly, the girls had been comparing teachers and grades, both seemingly struggling in the same area.

“Yes, I got a D, can you believe it? It’s so foul,” Stella lamented back, reaching forward to grab her drink and pursing her lips as Vincent quickly took it and held it to her lips.

Colins ears pricked as he heard a small clicking noise.

Stella leaned in again. “Are you still spending hours a night trying to get through the text?” she whispered, pushing back her heavy braids that had fallen between them.

Olivia leaned further forward and nodded, “Yes. Colin has sat with me damn near every night while I try to figure out the texts. I didn’t struggle this much when I was in the program a few years ago. It’s really disheartening. Freaking embarrassing,” she said, a sad look passing her face.

Colin suddenly pulled her back and turned her face to his. He stared at her for a moment before he leaned down and licked into her mouth lewdly, tightening his grip on her when she tried to pull away embarrassed. He waited her out until she softened in submission and relaxed in his hold. He pulled back to feather a thumb across her cheek and searing her once more with his gaze.

“I would appreciate it if you didn’t talk about school tonight. I don’t want any sad looks on your face for the rest of the weekend,” he ordered.

“Yes sir,” she breathed, not even realizing she said it. She was so overcome by the intensity of his eyes.

Stella interjected softly.

“Something tells me ice skating isn’t exactly what I think it means?” she asked questioningly, leaning forward once again to sip from the glass Vincent held out. Stella reached forward suddenly and stilled his hand as he attempted to take it away too soon.

Colin’s ears pricked again as he heard another two clicks. His eyes widened in recognition, meeting Vincent’s and gave him a knowing smile.

“My man,” Colin said with a thoughtful grin on his face. “You’re in the lifestyle too?” he questioned, smiling even brighter when Vincent replied they were.

Olivia looked between the two men again, hearing their exchange that quickly quieted as the limo slowed, approaching the adults only mini golfing arena.

The women got out and practically dragged the men to the front where Stella pulled out a card and got them all tickets.

“There are two levels, a MASSIVE food court, an arcade, music and dancing! This place is like Disneyland for adults!” Stella shot back to the men excitedly. Colin leaned towards Vincent.

“Is she always this excitable?” he asked, flashing him a good natured smile as they followed the women into the big building, taking a second to crane their heads up and look around the massive space.

Vincent looked at him with a weary look. “Yes, she takes quite a firm hand to manage. What about yours?” he asked Colin.
