“—but I will never give them my heart.”
She’s half standing at this point, her arms outstretched like she’s Madonna inEvita. Caro is standing on the booth, clapping and wiping tears from her eyes.
“Ooh! I’m buzzing!” Faye says, wiggling around, causing her shirt to slip down and give me a peek at her soft pink bra. I adjust my pants again as she laughs loudly.
“Group text,” Caro says. “Aly’s on board.”
“Awww,” Faye says. She flashes her screen at me and I try not to cringe.
CARO: FAYE HAS A NEW CARREER SHAAAKING HER TATAS
CARO: GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE AND CONGRA-TIT-ULATE HER!
ALY: Oh honey! I’m so proud! I knew you could do anything you set your mind to.
ALY: Tell me where! I’ll be there with dollas!
CARO: NO DOLLAS$$ PEOPEL! THAT’S JUST OUR WHITNESS
“Have we decided we’re celebrating?” Zach asks, stacking platters and glasses.
“You need to go by the nameDr. Fantasia! And wear nothing but a stethoscope.” Caro nods sagely.
Zach takes that as his cue to leave. Quickly. Caro notices and follows, her friend in tow.
“Wow,” Faye says, staring at her phone, and then flicking it off. “I never thought I’d have so much support for such a violent career shift.”
“I don’t think violent is the right word,” I say, scratching my chin.
“I’m going to have to learn how to twerk.” Her jaw is set and her eyes are wide.
Honestly, if she walked onto a stage with those wide eyes, pouty lips, and what I’m imagining that bra looks like, she’d make bank. And then she’d get fired because I would sucker punch every single asshole that tucked a bill in her panties.
“Faye, you know you can do anything you set your mind to.”
“I’ve seen that movie. It ended badly. Remember?”
“So, what then? You’re going to be the good-girl-turned-stripper?” I cock an eyebrow. She crosses her arms over her chest, plumping her cleavage and bats those hazel eyes at me.
“Who says I’m a good girl?”
Fuck. I want to take this bad girl back to my bedroom and tear that fussy blouse to shreds, then that sexy bra, and suck on her nipples until they’re red with my marks. Then kiss and lick and suck my way down to her pants. Slide them down her legs as she’s gasping for more, feel how wet she is.
“What are you thinking?” she asks, her voice husky.
Fuck.I drop an ice cube in my lap.
“This is what you’re gonna do?” I ask around a hiss. She slides out of the booth after me, standing awkwardly in her leopard-print flats.
“Looks that way.”
“Fantastic,” I say. I don’t know what I’m doing. I don’t have a plan. But I pull out my wallet and Zach waves me off. I’m sure I’ll be babysitting or landscaping this weekend to make up for this disaster.
“Wonderful,” she says, keeping pace. My gaze flickers across the room, through the bars on the window, to a sign over a pink door on the windowless building across the street.
“Then why wait?” I ask.
“What?” She comes to a stutter stop, and her eyes go wide.
