Lacey rolls her eyes, "No one's here to tell you otherwise, besides, you must be hungry and this is on us. Our way of saying thanks for being a good sport for not once complaining while we've been shopping."
He doesn't say anything, but I can see him wavering.
"Or, think of it as a bribe for later on, we've still got to find dresses," I tell him and watch as he shakes his head. "It's up to you. Personally, I think you need to refuel. Shopping with us is a workout."
He laughs, "Fine. You've twisted my arm. I'll find the waitress and give her my order." He looks at Lacey, "If you think shopping is a workout, you've seriously been doing it wrong. I can show you if you'd like." I watch as his eyes darken, Lacey's mouth parts in surprise before she slowly smirks. The look they're giving each other can only be described as sexual.
They stare at each other for what feels like an age. "I feel like I need to take a shower after watching you two."
Barney smiles before walking over to where the waitress is. "Holy shit." I gasp as soon as he's out of earshot. "Lacey, you two have some serious chemistry."
Her smile is one of the brightest I have seen from her. "I don't even know him, and I have this pull toward him."
I click my fingers, "I had that with my mystery guy. I swear it was like a magnet pulling me toward him. I just knew that going home with him that night was the right thing to do. Would you...?" I trail off as I know she's understands what I'm trying to say without having to actually say it.
She shrugs, "I don't know Mia, how do you even approach a subject like that when you've hardly spoken?"
I hold my hands up, "You're asking the wrong person. I've had sex with one person Lace, and you know how that went. He initiated it. It was amazing. But I have no idea where to even begin. It's like murky waters for me."
"Ah now, it's not that hard. You like someone, fuck 'em."
I turn and see Barney standing beside the table. "Jesus!" I cry out, "Where the hell did you come from?"
"How long have you been standing there?" Lacey asks him with narrowed eyes. "You should come with a bell."
He smirks as he slides into the seat beside Lacey, "You two were talking, I didn't want to interrupt."
I scoff, "What was that then?”
He winks at me, "Helping a sister out."
I shake my head. I'm not mad at him, he's like an annoying brother that I never had. His smile is infectious. He's a fun guy, one that I actually like.
"Soooo," Lacey asks, not looking at him. "Exactly how much did you hear?"
"Enough to know Mia needs to get laid."
I groan. "Seriously?"
Both he and Lacey smile, "Mia, when was the last time you had sex, or should I say the only
time you had it?" Barney questions me.
I gape at him in disgust, "That would be none of your business."
"Nearly two years ago now," Lacey tells him for me. "She doesn't even know his name."
"Lace!" I choke, will she shut up?
"What? He heard everything anyway."
Barney nods, "I did, look, Mia, this guy sounds like an ass. Why haven't you moved on?"
"Wow Barney, are you getting serious with me?" I'm impressed; there's more to him than I first thought.
He tilts his head to the side and stares at me, "Mia, there's a reason you've not found someone else isn't there?" He says, and I'm starting to hate him.
"I have no idea what you're talking about. I've just been busy with school and everything." I glare at Lacey in hopes that she'll save me from this line of questioning.
