“Speaking of JD,” I interject. “I don’t know why, but he strikes me as kind of a player. Is he?”
“You’re putting me on the spot.”
“Sorry. I gotta look out for my girl Amy.”
Felipe purses his lips. “I don’t want to get in trouble, so you didn’t hear this from me, but JD has invited a number of women to the club before.”
“But maybe Amy’s the one,” Kat says. “Even players settle down and get married eventually.”
I disagree. “I don’t know about that. Sure that happens in romance novels, but in real life…”
“I agree with Bridget,” Bryan says. “There’s a reason players are the way they are, and it’s not because they haven’t found Mr. Right—or Ms. Right.”
“You been burned by players before?” Felipe asks.
“I was one. When I was immature and thought that sleeping around made me cool. But the thing is, a lot of players don’t outgrow their immaturity or their need to be validated all the time by seeing lots of people.”
I think about how Amy’s job and classes now play second fiddle to JD. I voice my concern aloud. “Amy’s head over heels for JD.”
“She’s not the first to fall for him,” Felipe says.
“Did you?” Bryan asks.
Felipe blushes. “I thought he was cute when I first met him.”
“I want to see photos of these guys,” says Kat.
“I can vouch for Bridget’s guy,” says Simone. “He’s yum.”
As if his ears are burning, Darren texts me at that moment. Phone in hand, I go over to the stove to fry the second batch of chicken.
The text reads:
Tonight. Your payment is due.
