“Yes, but it’s not the same,” she sighs. “Jake says he likes mine better, but he also sees me naked, so I don’t know how reliable his word is.”
“Probably a little of both.” I laugh, biting into a cookie.
“Probably.” She shrugs.
“So, was St. Lucia all sex? Or did you do anything else that was fun while you were there?”
“HAHA you’re so funny, Mel,” she says sarcastically. “We toured the island, hiked to a waterfall, went snorkeling, and took a sunset cruise.”
“You hiked?” I ask incredulously.
“I hate you. And yes, I did, for Jake. It wasn’tterrible, but it also wasn’t fun. I’m more of a relax on the beach, sip a cocktail, and float around on a boat kind of girl.”
“Same,” I agree.
“Hellooo!” a familiar voice calls from inside the house.
“Is that–”
“Hey, bitch!” Ashley yells from the doorway.
“Ashley!” I exclaim, getting up and hugging her tight. “I didn’t know you were coming!”
“Well, duh, I live here too. Ally’s not the only one a part of the welcoming committee. I just had to wait until after work to come over.”
“How’s that going?”
“Great.” She beams. “I seriously love working for Mr. Jenkins. A small-town law firm is so different from what I was used to, and I love it.”
“I’m glad.” I smile, and she pulls up a foot rest to sit on in front of us.
“Hey, what the fuck? You got coffee and pastries from Courtney and didn’t bring me any?”
“I didn’t know you’d be here! Ally just said she was meeting me here.”
“Well, thanks, bitch,” she directs at Ally.
“I wanted her to be surprised. And I wasn’t sure if you’d be swept away by the good sheriff and forget about us.”
“Okay, first of all, that’syouwho gets caught up with her man and forgets her friends,” Ash says haughtily. “Not me.”
“Whatever.”
“Alright, no fighting. You both have hot men that you can’t seem to resist, I get it.”
“Sorry,” they both say together.
“Oh, no. Don’t look at me like that. And don’t feel sorry for me.”
“We don’t,” Ash says. “But don’t think you’re going to get out of us trying to hook you up with someone now that you’re here. You need a good man. And a good fucking.”
“Ashley!” I say with a forced laugh while Ally turns away, hiding her smile.
“What?” Ash asks innocently.
“I missed you,” I tell her, shaking my head.
“I know.” She shrugs, stealing Ally’s cookie from the bag.
