Beckett nods.
“She’s been after him since they were kids.”
Beckett sighs. “Anyway, we’re all going to dinner tonight, right?”
Glinda fake coughs twice in an over-exaggerated fashion. “I think I’m coming down with something. It’s best I stay home.”
I love her.
I nod in agreement. “I’ll stay with Glinda.”
Andie also nods. “I’ll stay with Amanda and Gigi.”
Beckett looks annoyed. “Mom did her time with him. She doesn’t have to come. You two are coming, like it or not.”
Reggie and Victoriahold up their piña coladas. Reggie proclaims, “Congrats to Amanda for being the superstar I always knew she’d become. I’m so fucking proud of you.”
We clink our glasses and each take a huge gulp of our frozen drinks.
I had another incredibly successful meeting with a collector this morning. Beckett forced me to raise my prices again. He said it makes my work seem more in demand. He was right. I sold three more pieces. And this guy mentioned that he has friends he knows would love my work. I can’t believe it. I’ve never been this financially stable in my life.
“Thank you. This is all a dream come true. It’s all thanks to Beckett.”
Reggie shakes her head. “Beckett made the introductions, but it’s all thanks toyourtalent.”
Victoria nods. “Agreed. You’re brilliant and it’s finally being recognized.”
Reggie holds her glass back up. “And tomorrow night, may you have category-five orgasms.”
I giggle and nod. “Amen to that.”
Victoria pinches her eyebrows. “What’s a category-five orgasm?”
Reggie and I smile at this decades long joke of ours. She motions for me to tell Victoria. “You know how hurricanes are categorized from one to five with five being the strongest?”
Victoria nods. “Yes.”
“We rate orgasms similarly. Category fives are the type that you very rarely have, but when you do, you practically black out from the pleasure.”
Her eyes widen. “Shit. I don’t think I’ve ever had one of those. Maybe a category-four once or twice, but never near-blackout level.”
Reggie shrugs. “You need to get Cliff on that.”
Victoria turns to Reggie. “Do you have them?”
“Sometimes. I normally live in the three to four zone, but Sam will up his game and sprinkle in a five a fewtimes a year.”
She looks at me. “What about you?”
“I haven’t had above a category-three in twenty years. The closest I came was when Beckett talked me through masturbating last week.”
Reggie fans herself. “That was so fucking hot. I told Sam about it and that I want to do something similar.”
I nod. “It was crazy hot. I think the forbidden aspect of it made it hotter.”
Victoria rubs my arm. “Are you excited for tomorrow? Your arrangement is over and you’re free to be together.”
“I think I’m excited and scared.”
