My mouth dropped open. “Blood?” I spun around to look in the mirror behind me.
Sure enough, there was a triangle piece ripped out of my eyebrow. And it was bleeding.
“Okay, you can’t tell me this is normal.” My fingers gently touched what was left of my eyebrow.
“Huh, it looks pretty cool. Like a lightening bolt or something.”
Hmm, she might be right. If you ignored the blood, it was kind of cool.
“Jillian could always try microblading over it. Once it heals, I mean,” Lexi offered.
“Yeah, I’ll pass on whatever the fuck that is, thanks anyway.”
She giggled softly right in my ear—and no matter how pissed off I was to have my eyebrow massacred—having her this close to me was no small concession.
“Turn around, let me finish.”
My eyes found hers in the mirror.
She had on the same dark mask I did—except not as much of her skin was covered—but her eyes still sparkled. And the way she’d said what she just said—fuck me, but it made certain other things come to mind.
Things I’d much rather be doing to her—or her to me—than what we currently were doing.
At any rate, I turned around and let her pull the mask down my nose and the sides of my face.
It all went fairly smoothly—until my lower cheeks.
That was when the pain began again, and I shouted to the rooftops.
Jillian came rushing in. “Oh, didn’t you shave first, Trey?” she asked with a frown.
“No!”
“Yikes, the rest of this is really going to hurt. My advice? Rip it like you’re waxing him.”
She left as quickly as she entered.
And let me tell you something I learned after Lexi spent the next hour getting the rest of the mask off my face and neck—I’d never, ever be getting anything waxed.
When the horrorof my mask removal was over—and liberal amounts of aloe were applied, we went out to join the others.
The music played in the background, and the women were laughing and having a good time.
As soon as we stepped further into the living room, it quickly quieted down.
“Oh, good, we’re ready for the next discussion on the book,” Jillian said and everyone seemed to hurry back to their original spots.
I wandered back to where I’d been sitting before the horrible facial fiasco started.
Just like earlier, Jillian started off with some questions we all took turns answering.
Then, Jillian started talking about the sexiest scene of all. When the main hero takes the heroine’s virginity. Let’s just say it was hot—times a thousand.
And everyone agreed.
“At least you and Gigi have partners at home to jump on after reading—those scenes,” Gianna said to Jillian.
Jillian glanced at me, but I didn’t say anything. Whatever that girl had going on with that douche canoe fiancé of hers was not my business. Calling her out during book club was not cool.
