Lennox let out a peel of laughter. “I might have had two margaritas with dinner.”
“Weren’t you working?” I asked.
“Uh, well, you see,” Lennox drawled. “I might have asked for time off next week, and my stupid manager said no, so I quit. Then Melody might have quit too, and then we went and got manicures and pedicures before we went and had tacos, nachos, and tamales, and a couple of margaritas. Maybe.”
“Maybe, huh?” I laughed. “I think that sounds like a pretty detailed story.”
“Are you mad that I may be drunk?”
“Lennox,” I laughed. “Why in the hell would I be mad at you for having a few drinks with your friend?”
“Uh, well, I don’t know. That just seems to be the norm for guys when their girlfriends drink without them. At least that is what I’ve heard,” she trailed off.
“Well, whomever you are getting your information from is way wrong. At least when it comes to me.”
“I think Melody might have said something similar like that while I got out of the car,” she sighed.
“Uh, who was driving the car?” I asked. The only way I would be mad at Lennox for drinking was if she drove or rode with someone who was drinking.
“Perry came and picked us up. He’s Melody’s wife. Husband,” she blurted. “He is her husband.”
“Good, babe. I’m glad you’re having a little fun.” I sat back and kicked my feet up on the coffee table. “Now, what did you say about quitting your job?”
“Oh,” she drawled. “That thundercunt Mindy wasn’t going to give me any time off besides Wednesday, and she acted like I should be thankful for that.” She lowered her voice. “Spoiler alert, I was not thankful.”
“Do you have another job lined up?” I asked. “I know you mentioned you were looking, but I didn’t know you found something.”
“Uh, well, I didn’t. I’m jobless and more than likely going to be homeless in a month or two. I wonder if I could be a squatter. You know those crazy stories of people refusing to leave their apartments even though they’re not paying their rent?”
“Lennox,” I laughed, “I don’t think that is the route you should be looking to go down.”
“I know,” she sighed, “I’m just a little tipsy, and Melody said I need to chill out about worrying so much.”
“And two margaritas seemed to help make that happen?”
“It’s my sweet spot,” she giggled.
“I will keep that in mind, babe.” Lennox was going to fit in just fine with the rest of the girls. They were all known to get a little tipsy when they wanted a little fun. “So,” I cleared my throat, “since you don’t have a job to worry about at the moment, how would you feel about me heading your way soon?”
“I don’t know because I didn’t think about that because that was one of the things Melody told me not to worry about,” Lennox confessed. “But I honestly should have worried about it because she promised not to talk about ten-inch anacondas, but she totally did. Her and Fan are pretty naughty when they are together. You need to see my nails. They are pretty. My hands have never looked this good. Oh, and my toes. My toes are cute with a capital q.”
“C,” I laughed. “Cute starts with a c, babe.”
“Didn’t I say that?” she murmured. “Q-u-t-e.”
“Are you sure it was just two margaritas you had?” I asked.
“Yup. Just two,” she promised. “And speaking of, I need to take some Tylenol, or I am going to be miserable in the morning.” I could hear the rattling bottles and drawers opening and closing.
“Lennox,” I called.
“Mhmm?” she murmured.
“How would you feel about me coming out there in a couple of days?” I asked. “I know we were going to wait till next week, but waiting doesn’t make much sense right now.”
“Uh, well, I think I’m going to need a couple of days or months to think about it.”
“Babe,” I chuckled. “A couple of months? We’ve waited three years.”
