“I really like her. And I don’t want that to be a problem between you two.”
She folded her hands in her lap and blew out a long breath. “You’re serious?”
“I am.”
“I’ve never seen this side of you, River. It’s sort of sweet.”
I sensed a tinge of jealousy lingering in the background of her compliment.
“I want a shot with her, but she’ll never give it to me if her being with me ruins your friendship. You have to forgive her. She didn’t do anything wrong.”
I was adamant about this. If Stacy punished Sky, there would always be this negative moment lingering between us. Sky would always think that her friendship ended because our relationship started. It was fucked up, and I didn’t want that.
“Don’t worry about me and Sky. We’re fine. Promise.” She pushed off the bed and stretched her arms over her head. “I can’t believe we never slept together.”
“I can’t believe you thought that this whole time and I never even knew.”
That was the craziest part of this whole thing in my opinion. Stacy had genuinely believed in something that had never happened, and I’d been in the dark about it the entire time even though I was the subject of it. It was truly enlightening what could go on in people’s minds when you removed the communication aspect.
She reached for her phone and held it up. “I’ll send Sky a text right now, telling her that I love her and that I give my blessing for your union.”
“Maybe take back the whole ‘choke on a turkey’ thing?” I used air quotes around the words as soon as I remembered her saying them.
Stacy laughed. “Will do. I need a nap. Will you guys wake me up for dinner? I don’t want to be alone on Thanksgiving. That’s depressing.”
“Of course. So, we’re good? Everything’s good?”
“We’re good. Go get your girl. And don’t screw it up,” she warned as I headed toward her door.
I couldn’t get back to Sky fast enough.
I didn’t know why, but I went into my room and walked through our adjoining doors instead of knocking on her front door like a normal person.
“River?” Sky’s voice lacked the timidness that it’d had earlier when Stacy was here.
The shock had apparently worn off, and while I’d been gone, Sky had gathered her bearings. And gotten dressed. Which was a damn shame because I planned on taking off all the clothes she’d just put on.
“Hey.” She threw herself into my arms, and I held on tight, placing kisses on the top of her head like she belonged to me.
Because she did.
And she was about to realize exactly that.
“I assume it went well?” she asked before pulling out of my grasp.
“Did she text you?” I wondered because Stacy had told me she would, but I hadn’t stuck around to make sure it actually happened.
“She did.” Sky pursed her lips and tried to stop from smiling but failed.
It made me curious, so I asked, “Can you tell me what she said? You don’t have to.”
“She gave me her blessing and told me to choke on your dick instead of a turkey.”
“Oh. Well, that can be arranged.” I had to stop myself from unzipping my jeans and letting her have her way with me right then and there.
“Did she believe you?” Sky wanted the details of what had happened. Everything else could wait.
I filled her in, trying not to leave a single thing out. My mother had taught me that women asked a lot of questions because they wanted all the information. When men summed things up in one or two sentences, women often felt unsatisfied. I didn’t want Sky to feel that way in any capacity.
