“Wait!” Kendrick said, joining us. “Is this the girl you’ve been interested in?”
“Uh…”
“It is!” he said, clapping his hands together. “It is, isn’t it?”
I smiled as the guys crowded around me. “Well…tell us about her?” Mel insisted.
“Her name is Megan,” I said with a smile. “And, we just started dating.”
“But Romeo’s had the hots for her for a while, am I right?” Kendrick said, as though he had all the inside details. “She’s his friend’s sister.”
The boys let out a stream of whistles and catcalls, and I rolled my eyes. “Grow up, guys,” I told them.
“This is the first girlfriend we’ve known you to have since you started working with us,” Mel pointed out. “It’s a big deal.”
I thought about that for a second and realized he was right. Megan was the first girlfriend I’d had since becoming a firefighter. There had been girls before, but they were mostly casual flings that lasted only a few weeks or one-night stands that I never saw again. Half the time, I didn’t even know their names.
“How serious is this thing with Megan?” Mel asked.
“We only just started dating,” I admitted. “But we’ve been talking for months now… I mean, we can go hours and hours.”
“That’s a good sign,” Mel nodded. “You need a partner you can talk to.”
“Fuck conversation,” Kendrick said. “The really important question is how is the sex?”
I gave him a smile but refused to answer.
“Come on, dude,” Kendrick insisted. “I tell you every time I sleep with a new girl.”
“I never ask,” I pointed out.
“You never have to. I’m generous with my information.”
I laughed. “You are.” I nodded. “A little too generous, if you ask me.”
“When do we get to meet her?” Ryan asked.
“Whoa…we’re not there yet,” I said quickly. “Let’s take this slow, okay?”
“Does that mean you haven’t slept with her yet?” Kendrick asked.
I playfully punched him in the arm. “You’re like a dog with a bone,” I said, as I headed off for a little privacy to finish my conversation with Megan.
For the first time in a long time, I was looking forward to my shift being over so that I could hurry home. The guys seemed to sense my excitement.
“You need me to give you some pointers, dude?” Kendrick asked as I was about to leave. “I know how to make a woman happy in bed.”
I laughed. “Please… I’m the one who gave you those pointers in the first place.”
“Fuck off… that was all me.”
Laughing, I said goodbye to the guys and headed home. I wasn’t sure if Megan was already at my place or if she was heading over. I drove a little faster than I should have and rushed to my front door. I walked into my apartment and looked around expectantly.
“Megan?” I called out.
She appeared from my bedroom, wearing a beautiful red dress in a soft flowing silk that hung off her body in romantic wisps. Her eyes were bright, and her smile was breathtaking. She looked like the angel from my dreams—except this was better because this was real.
