“I’m hungry.”
“So I gather.”
“French toast?”
“Sounds great. Can I have my shirt?”
“Why do you need a shirt to eat toast?”
“You’ve got me there.”
???
A few hours later, Leah almost floated up Main Street to Coco’s Café. She couldn’t stop smiling. A memory from that morning bubbled up and her smile widened. Callum, shirtless, sitting at her little table eating French toast, laughing when she retrieved his shirt from under the couch cushion. He’d pulled her into his lap and kissed her blind.
She saw Juniper and Mikayla had already taken an outside table. Nice, she thought to herself. The spring day was bright and clear and lovely.
“Hey,” Mikayla said when she approached the table. “We’ve ordered nachos.”
“Yum,” Leah replied, pulling a chair back and sitting down. Juniper and Mikayla stared at her. “What is it? I’ve got something on my face?”
“No. You just look…”
“Different,” Juniper finished.
“Do I?”
They both continued to stare at her until Mikayla said, “Did you, by any chance, just have a night of unbridled passion?”
Her lips curved in a wide smile. “Yes.” She sure did. “And a morning, too, if you must know.”
Mikayla squealed. “With Callum?”
“No, Mik, with the postman. Something about his mail bag just really makes me hot. Of course with Callum!”
“Smart ass.” Mikayla clapped her hands in excitement. “Tell us everything.”
“No.”
The look of disappointment on Mikayla’s face was comical.
“Come on, you’ve got to give us something.” This from Juniper.
There was no hope for it, Leah was cornered. “Right. Okay.” The platter of nachos came out just then, so Leah was able to take some time to gather her thoughts. She took the plate of nachos Juniper made for her, smiling in thanks. “Well, I did what you said, Juniper.” She spooned some guacamole onto a corn chip and put it in her mouth.
“This is torture, Kaplan, pure torture.” Mikayla said, poking her in the shoulder.
“I’m aware,” Leah said with a grin. “Where was I?”
“Nowhere.”
“So, I did what Juniper said. I asked Callum to come over so I could explain myself to him.”
“Why did you have to explain yourself?”
“Oh, you don’t know.” Leah very briefly outlined the events as they occurred on her front veranda, backing it up with some explanation of why she had reacted the way she had.
“An orgasm so powerful it altered your world view. Jesus!”
