Me: It’s huge. Like, I don’t know how it’s going to fit huge. And my hands are tiny.

Lucy: Oh?

Lucy: OHHH!

Bella: It’s always the skinny guys.

Me: My thoughts exactly! But what do I do? I’ve never seen one this big.

Bella: So you have a penis problem? A cock conundrum? A dick dilemma?

Lucy: How do you come up with this shit?

Bella: It’s a gift. A girthy gift.

Me: This is serious. What am I going to do?

Lucy: If all these romance books we read have taught us anything, it’s that it will fit.

Bella: It always fits.

Me: I seriously don’t know how that will be possible.

Lucy: What would Ayana Cox do?

Ayana Cox is our favorite romance author. She writes these amazing stories with the most relatable characters and the most perfect book boyfriends ever written. Men that would burn the world down for their women. And they all have big dicks that magically fit. And RJ’s dick is the kind of dick book boyfriends have.

Bella: Exactly. One of her FMCs would mount that thing with no hesitation. And since you’ve already humped him, you need to mount the hot firefighter now.

Me: And then what? Do I want to risk pissing Raven off just to get tangled up with her brother only to have him ditch me again?

Lucy: Why do you think it will end?

Me: Raven hasn’t talked about RJ much over the years except to say that he just drifts through life, from job to job, person to person. But the brother she described is not the man staying in this beach house. He’s been consistent with his daughter, with my kids. He’s shown up for me in ways Todd never did, in ways I’ve always wanted from a partner. All the lies I’ve told myself about why this wouldn’t work out are falling apart.

Bella: Because he’s your person!

Lucy: This is perfect! That’s so romantic, and you’re the queen of romance!

Me: It doesn’t feel romantic. It feels stressful. Like there’s too much at stake.

Bella: At ?

Lucy:

Lucy: What do you have to lose?

Bella: We’re not going anywhere. And I doubt Raven is ending a lifelong friendship, she’s too level-headed for that.

Lucy: Exactly. Trust me, I know how it feels when your intrusive thoughts are screaming louder than your logical ones.

Bella: All my intrusive thoughts are perverted, and I usually let them win.

Lucy: We know! LOL Seriously, though. It’s hard to put yourself out there. Remember how hard it was for me to ask you all for help? But I’m so glad I did. Maybe this will work out in your favor and you two can finally be together!

Bella: You could show him your boobs again.

Lucy: Not helping.
