“Well, I can’t imagine being with anyone else ever again. I want to spend the rest of my life with Lex, and I want the rest of the world to know he’s mine and mine alone. I want that gleaming ring on his finger that announces to all the bitches out there this man is taken.”
“Good night, then?” I jest.
“The best,” she dreamily replies.
“Oh my God. You can’t be serious, Rhia. Why would you want to chain yourself to one man for the rest of your life? Sure, everything is fine now. But you might want to dump his ass in a month or two.”
Rhia rolls her eyes at her sister. She doesn’t understand what it’s like to be head over heels in love, but I’m convinced her time will come. Sooner or later, we’ll witness her metamorphosis from a hoe into a devoted girlfriend, maybe even wife. I just hope I get married before her.
“Are you going to propose? Not sure Lex would have that idea on his own. You’ve both been adamant that you don’t need that piece of paper,” I say.
“You know, I might. Remember how elaborately Lex told me he loved me for the first time?”
“How could anyone forget? That has to be one of the most romantic and swoony things anyone has ever done.”
“You two are disgusting,” Zoe mumbles under her breath. We both ignore her.
“Well, I’m going to orchestrate something mind-blowing. Something that will knock him off his feet, and then I’ll sweep him up. We need to brainstorm. Too bad we just had our anniversary. It would have been the perfect date.”
“Except that you weren’t in the same place.”
“Actually, we were.”
“What?” Zoe and I ask in unison.
“Yep.” Rhia beams at us. “It was the best surprise ever.”
“Where is he?” Zoe wonders, looking around to see if he’s hiding somewhere.
“He had to fly back this morning. But he broke the rules just so he could be with me on our anniversary.”
“Awww,” I coo. “He really is the sweetest. I hope he doesn’t get in trouble.”
“If he does, I made it worth his while. Besides, I don’t think he cares too much about his job anymore. He’s leaving in a few months anyway, remember?”
“True. Tell me more. I want details,” I say as Rhia takes a sip of tea from my cup.
“Ugh. Licorice tea, really, El?” I shrug my shoulders. It’s not my fault she doesn’t like it.
“Here, have my orange juice,” Zoe says, handing her the glass. “And then spill. I want details too. But leave out the gooey bits and get to the spicy ones.”
Rhia’s smile grows impossibly large, every part of her beaming with happiness. “Well, the car came to pick me up and dropped me off at a fancy hotel where a concierge was waiting for me and lead me into a suite. Holy cow, you should have seen the view. It was amaaaaazing.
“Anyway, when I get to the bedroom it was filled with flowers… roses and tulips everywhere. He must have spent a fortune. There was a note on the pillow that said,‘Sorry I can’t be with you. But I want you to be pampered. Enjoy your massage.’
“Next thing I know, there’s a knock on the door, and this girl with a massage table stands there. She tells me to leave my bra and things on and then hands me a blindfold.”
“Oh, kinky.” Zoe lights up as she sits at the edge of her lounger while my mouth hangs open.
“Right? I wasn’t quite sure what to think or what crazy plan Lex had hedged. But I’m trusting my man and decide to go with the flow. Anyway, she massages all my exposed parts… my shoulders, arms, and legs, and I’m really starting to relax. But then, she strays…”
“What do you mean?” I ask, now on the edge of my seat too.
“Well, she stroking up my inner thighs and over my exposed butt cheeks because I was only wearing a thong. And I’m beginning to wonder what kind of massage this is.”
“Oh, this is so cool.” Zoe is rubbing her hands together, looking excited.
“I wasn’t quite on board with that, but then I smelled something.”
