When I was younger, I had an obsession with cars and I’d spend hours travelling with my father to various car shows, especially vintage. That was before my mother insisted that I stop my tomboyish ways.
I mean if it wasn’t for her, I’d be a complete mess of a woman, but if it wasn’t for my dad, I wouldn’t be able to tell that this was a year 68’ model with a V8 engine. It’s a sexy car, like its sexy owner.
“Mustang 68’ Fastback,” I say and Hudson raises his eyebrows as his eyes light up with approval.
“Smart, fucking sexy and you know about cars,” Hudson says. “I think I like you a lot, Parker.”
“You’re not too bad yourself,” I say as he unlocks the Mustang and we get into the car.
When he turns the key in the ignition, the Mustang roars to life and when he revs the engine, that beautiful purr from the V8 makes the blood in my veins flow faster.
I glance over at Hudson who places one hand on the steering wheel and the other on the stick. His black hair is unsettled and his green eyes are dark, daring.
Everything about the way he’s positioned makes me want to strip down and let him have his way with me until my thoughts are numb because I have a feeling that Hudson can do exactly just that.
“Ready?” he asks and I nod as I lean over and kiss his cheek.
“I really can’t wait to make you come in so many different ways,” he says as if he’s fulfilling a promise to me and it’s a promise that makes me sit back down in my seat like a good girl and swallow hard.

When Your Bff Is Angry, Buy Her Food

After convincing Hudson to leave me at the yoga studio, I spend the next forty-five minutes stretching my ass off while, Neela, our pretty Indian yoga instructor who’s in a hot pink get-up up today encourages us.
“Come on ladies, you want to be as flexible as possible, so stretch those legs and arms!” she shouts.
I stand for ten straight minutes doing Adho Mukha Svanasana, the downward-facing dog position that requires us to have our hands stretched out on the ground before us with our feet flat and our butts sticking up in the air.
Just when I start to feel the burn and just want to give up, Neela announces that we’re finally done for the day.
Checking at my watch, I see that it’s 7:24 a.m. which means I still have half an hour to go home and change before getting to my class which starts at 8:30 a.m. and then I start to realise that I haven’t done a lot of reading during the weekend.
Maybe if I wasn’t so distracted by Hudson,I think with annoyance. But who couldn’t help but find themselves distracted by him?
I have a quick shower in one of the empty shower stalls, before pulling on Hudson’s grey t-shirt and my jeans since it’s the only clothes I have right now.
When I’m done atVibe & Bliss,I take a cool walk home and appreciate the warm sunlight that soaks into my skin.
It’s a busy Monday morning for everyone, so I’m getting an unusual amount of double-takes at my messy bun and casual garb as if I’m still in weekend mode. New Yorkers will be New Yorkers.
Before I can reach our apartment building, I make a quick stop at Gino’s Pizzeria, mine and Lex’s second favourite pizzeria in NYC and get a large pepperoni deep dish pizza with extra cheese and jalapeno sauce.
I don’t care if it’s 7:30 in the morning, pizza is meant to be enjoyed all parts of the day and knowing Lex, she’ll be less mad if I buy her food. Especially if it’s the deep dish pizza from Gino.
I pay for my order at the counter and when it’s ready, I collect the large brown box and make my way out and head towards our apartment building.
The doorman, George Adamson, who’s in his prime fifties, with his silver hair all back, nods his head in my direction and opens the glass door for me.
“How are you, Miss Kelleher?” he asks.
“I’m good and you George?”
“I’m good. It’s a fine day out. Enjoyed your weekend?”
I smile at him and nod. “I did, thank you. Did you enjoy your weekend?”
