These women.
She groaned. “If I didn’t love you guys so much, I’d pull an Aria and kick each of you in the shins. What are you talking about?”
Libby raised her hands like she was receiving a message from the great beyond. “Your banging nanny glow.”
“I’m not officially the nanny,” she countered.
“You’re hanging out with Aria?” Penny offered.
“Yes.”
Charlotte cocked her head to the side. “You care for her?”
“Obviously—she’s the meanest seven-year-old this side of the Mississippi. I’m crazy about her.”
Libby gestured with her chin toward the parking lot. “I’ve got a hunch that’s your chocolate-colored Lamborghini Urus.”
“The nanny SUV of choice for the nanny-match candidates,” Penny quipped.
Her friends were enjoying this.
“Yes, I’m driving a Lamborghini.”
Charlotte cleared her throat and glanced away. “And you’re banging your boss?”
“Hell yes, I am,” she fired back, then clapped her hand over her mouth. “Oh, crap.”
Her friends shared a trio of knowing glances.
“Don’t get any lofty ideas,” she cautioned. “This isn’t a perfect nanny match. It’s not a nanny match at all. For the next six weeks, I’m Landon’s temporary wife, his quasi-nanny, and his musical assistant.”
Libby narrowed her gaze. “You and Landon agreed to get a divorce?”
She chewed her lip. She’d pushed that thought aside for the past fourteen days.
She waved them off, trying to play it cool. “We’ll figure it out.”
“And what about Aria?” Libby pressed.
“Whatever happens, I’ll still see her. I’ll just be her piano teacher. And there’s something else. Landon’s helping me by—”
“Providing you with multiple orgasms?” Charlotte interrupted.
She ignored the redhead.
“And what’s with this six-week timeframe?” Penny asked.
“We’re competing in a celebrity reality baking contest. If we win, there’s prize money I can use to pay off Babs’ debt. It starts tomorrow with the first of three challenges and concludes in about six weeks.”
Crickets.
Her friends stood there, slack-jawed, until Penny turned to Libby and Charlotte. “We can nevernottalk to H for two weeks again.”
“You’re doing a reality show?” Charlotte pressed.
Penny tapped her chin. “Is that why you had to leave the housewarming with Landon? Was that what his manager wanted to discuss?”
“Yes.”
