“So, Chanel. What did you do with your blog?” Tommy asked.
“It’s back on track. I decided to take a smoother route with updating them on how the cruise went. You know, ‘life’s too short’ and ‘sometimes reminiscing about the past moves you forward’ kind of stuff,” I said.
“And she posted lots of pictures,” Ana said.
“So many pictures,” I said.
“Well, my marketing ideas are doing well,” Ana said. “I took a couple of them to the board already, and they’ve dropped three different projects in my lap. I’m swamped but excited.”
“Ana, that’s awesome! Can you talk about the projects yet?” I asked.
“Not yet, but once I get to a point where I can, I definitely will. They are huge projects. I’m so excited. On another note, you’ll never guess what Tommy asked me to do last night.”
“Ana, do we have to bring this up with them?” Tommy asked.
“Now I have to know. What did my dear friend ask of you?” Rhett asked.
“He asked me to move in with him last night,” Ana said.
“Man, was the head that good?” I asked.
Ana threw a chicken bone at me as I laughed.
“Well,” Rhett said, “are you?”
“I’m thinking about it. I mean, it puts me a little farther away from work, but it also puts me in the heart of one of the most beautiful places in Miami. I think I’d enjoy the views,” Ana said.
“So would I,” Tommy said with a grin.
“You do realize you guys have only been doing this weird dating thing for a couple of weeks, right?” Rhett asked.
“So? It felt right, so I asked her,” Tommy said.
“I’m just shocked, man. That’s all. Happy for you but shocked,” Rhett said.
“I still think the head was that good,” I said.
“I’m gonna throw my beer at you,” Ana said.
“I’d like to see you try,” I teased. “But really, guys. I’m happy for you too. Ana, if it’s what you want, I say go for it. If there’s anything this insane cruise taught me, it’s to go after what you want no matter what others around you say.”
“Damn straight,” Ana said.
“So, is that a yes?” Tommy asked.
“Depends. Can we go back to your place after dinner?”
“Of course,” Tommy said.
“Then, I’ll move in with you,” Ana said.
The two of them kissed as my hand found Rhett’s underneath the table. As I watched my best friend kiss the man I knew she’d come to love, my heart soared for her. Never in a million years did I think I would ever see her settle down with someone. I looked up into Rhett’s face and saw the same shock and awe rolling across his features.
I couldn’t believe they had done it, but I was happy they had.
“This calls for a celebration,” I said.
“What kind of celebration?” Rhett asked.
