“Here, sit down,” she urges me, leading me over to the couch that looks like it’s from the early nineties.

The floral pattern is a bit of an eye-sore, but it’s surprisingly comfortable as I sit down.

“I don’t think that there’s any ice,” she apologizes as she checks the freezer.

“It’s fine. I’m alright,” I promise her, and she sighs as she sits down next to me.

We’re silent for a beat, and I clear my throat.

“Lingerie, huh?” I ask, and she nods, smiling slightly.

“I know. I still do some clothes, but I did lingerie for an assignment last year and fell in love with it. Plus, there are not a lot of sexy plus size options. Most of it is just white, beige, or black, and they all look the same. I want to change that.”

“Then you will.”

She beams at me, and my heart beats wildly against my ribs. I love making her look at me like that.

“I’ll show you some of the ones that I designed next time we hang out,” she promises me, and my mouth drops open at the thought of Lilliana standing in front of me in nothing but one of her designs.

“Sounds good,” I say, sounding half strangled.

She gives me a funny look, and I try to get ahold of myself when there’s a knock on her door. A second later, Cameron comes rushing in.

“You’re back!” She screams, and Lilliana smiles as she jumps off the couch to hug her friend.

“I missed you so much,” Lilliana says as they embrace, and I stand, trying to get my hard-on under control now that we’re not alone.

“I wanted to come by before I head to work. Can’t have this one monopolizing all of your time,” Cameron says, pointing at me with a knowing smirk.

I just blink back at her, and she rolls her eyes.

Cameron and Lilliana were friends in high school, and I put up with her because Lilliana likes her. That’s the same reason why I’ve been giving her free oil changes and tune-ups too. Well, that and the fact that Ford has been half in love with her since she moved here in high school.

“I want to hear all about everything that’s been going on around here,” Lilliana says.

“I’m surprised that Foster hasn’t caught you up to speed,” Cameron says as both girls sit on the couch.

“I already told you about the new businesses.”

“That’s not what I mean. Who’s dating who? What’s the latest scandal?” Lilliana asks, and I frown.

“I don’t know,” I tell her, and she smiles.

“Figures. Foster never talks to anyone. Someone could propose right in front of him and he wouldn’t even notice,” Cameron says, shaking her head at me.

“They’re not proposing to me, right? So, what would it matter?”

Both girls giggle, and I sigh.

“I need to get to work. Ransom is supposed to be bringing his bike by.”

“Who?” Lilliana asks.

“Ransom. He moved to town like a year ago. He’s this big, sexy biker. Totally hot, and I think that he’s single!” Cameron tells her helpfully.

“Oh, are you going to hit on him?” My girl asks her friend, and I’m glad that she doesn’t seem all that interested in him.

“Maybe,” Cameron says, and I file that away to rub in Ford’s face later.
