Bree laughed when her sister immediately replied.
GWENN: Dentist?
She let out a snort giggle.
BREE: Eh, I was thinking of matchmaker… Why dentist?
GWENN: Because it’s like pulling teeth with you. Did he come over last night or not?
Bree put on her underwear and pulled on one of her favorite dresses. She picked up her phone again and replied,
BREE: Yes. And I’ll tell you all about it tonight. LY.
GWENN: FINALLY
GWENN: LY
The aroma of omelets wafted into the bedroom. She’d always been happy with her snug apartment, but at times like this, she hated how everything was so compact. Every cooked meal dominated her entire place. She walked out on her black pumps and turned her back to Declan behind the kitchen counter.
“Can you zip me up?” She brought her hair down over one shoulder and glanced over the other at Declan.
“Sure.” He placed a hand on her hip and she felt her dress tightening where the zipper of her moss green dress went up.
“It’s good to have me around, eh?” She heard the smile in his voice.
She nodded. “Yes. I can never reach this one properly.”
The zipper got stuck, and he brought the zipper down a bit before pulling it back up.
“I hope you never wear this one to work then,” he chuckled.
“Normally, I’d ask Gwenn. Or before that, I’d ask someone at work for help.” Bree shrugged. He froze for a moment.
“Not that guy, I hope.”
Bree bit her lip. Maybe she shouldn’t enjoy his jealousy as much as she did. But it felt good to have the tables turned for once. She said, “Oh, yes. Almost every other week.”
He gave her zipper a brisk tug, and the motion unbalanced her. She gripped the counter and did her best to keep from laughing.
“Last week, I asked him to fasten my bra. I was on the playground and my bra hook suddenly broke. Poof!” She emphasized with her hands mimicking a bomb explosion.
He turned her around by her shoulders and she said through her giggles, “And the week before, I had these stockings…”
Declan’s scowl made room for a smirk when it dawned she was messing with him. “That’s so, eh?”
Bree nodded. He cocked his head and studied her. His ocean gray eyes seemed darker somehow. “It’s ridiculous how much I want to punch that guy in the face.”
“No need. He’s sweet but—”
“Sweet?” He let go of her shoulders and she immediately missed his warm hands on her body. Bree blinked a couple times.
“Are you serious? Come, give me a kiss.” She stepped closer and placed a hand on his cheek.
He held his lips stiff against hers. She pinched his side to snap him out of his stupid mood. “Ouch!”
He furrowed his brows, and she had to work hard not to laugh at his boyish look.
“I remember you double dating some bimbo, you know. If we do this, we’d better forget the past. I used to have a Susanna in my class... I hated the little girl at first sight. Just because you dated a Susanna ages ago.”
