They squealed, laughed, and even Corinne did a quick bop, pushing her tongue while doing it.

“It’s been… What?” Becky thought. “A few months. Right?”

“Try a year.”

“Y’all ain’t fuck in a whole year?” Corinne asked incredulously.

“Ihaven’t had a bone in a whole year,” I qualified.

“Shit.” Becky’s expression turned crestfallen. “Jas is boning that Josie girl?”

“Yup.” I popped my lips, going back to the suitcase.

“And sharing that yoddy with you?” Corinne asked.

“Apparently,” I answered with my back to them, hating complicated shit.

“Are you okay with him double-dipping?”

“Nope.” I popped my lips again, clear on my answer.

“Shiiiit. I hope lil’ Miss Josie don’t find out.” Corinne rolled her eyes. “I don’t wanna have to whoop her ass if she pops off.”

A helpless smile widened my face. “She knows.”

“What?” Peach was the loudest.

I nodded. “The first time we did it, he’d just gotten off aFaceTimecall with her. He thought they’d disconnected when he came over to me on the deck…on the yacht.”

“Holy christ!” Becky whispered.

I nodded again, not feeling an ounce of shame, but hated it for Josie. I’d been cheated on before: it sucks ass.

“Were you loud?” Peach looked horrified. “Like, do you get loud during sex?”

“I really don’t know what she heard. He gave me the news two days later. All I can think of was how passionate we were.” Those damn butterflies took flight in my belly again at the memory. “He hadn’t touched me in a year. I’ve always been attracted to Jas, especially sexually. I wanted him from the start of the trip—nothim, but his dick…and mouth and hands.” I shrugged and rolled my eyes at myself as they laughed. “Bottom line is momma was prepped and ready that night. And when he touchedme…” I shrieked, fist balled in the air, and I squeezed my eyes and mouth close.

“Damn!” Corinne yelped from the bottom of her belly.

“So, what’re you gonna do, girl?” Becky asked.

I dropped the clothes I’d just picked up. Sighing, I turned to my captivated girls. “Wait.”

“Wait on what?” Peach was confused.

“Wait on him to choose me.”

“What that mean?” Corinne attempted comedy, but I knew she was serious.

I shook my head, trying to gather my words. “I fell in love with him all over again out there. We fought a lot. Got some shit out. Not all of it is settled but those things that caused me to resent him in the first place…” My head still swung left to right. “When we confronted them and broke that shit down...” My shoulders lifted. “…they didn’t seem as potent as they once felt.”

“Like what?” Becky wanted to know.

“Like him taking my father’s firm.”

“Shit. Y’all went there?” Corinne asked painfully.

I nodded. “Yup. I couldn’t shake that shit. I understood the play as a businesswoman, but chewed on him never seeming remorseful for it so bad it numbed me. However, when we talked about it, he gave his side of the story—even told me how he offered the rights back to my father, who refused them.”
