“Mm-hmm,” Luna agreed.
“I am so down with finding this guy and laying some truth on him,” Jessie said.
“I’m in,” Shanti said.
“Me too,” Willow said.
“It’s agreed,” Raye put in. “We’ll add that to our caseload. I’ll ask Arthur for his deets and we’ll plan.”
Excellent.
“Okay, before we get into Raye sharing why she’s mad at Cap, I have another dilemma,” I said.
“And this would be?” Willow prompted.
“I told Javi I wanted to take the physical part of our relationship slow, and now every time it gets really good, he stops it so we can take it slow.”
No one said anything, they just stared at me.
“It should be said,” I added, “that every time he kisses me, it’s good. Actually, it’s great. But I mean, this morning, we were all over each other, and then, with no warning, I no longer had my hands in Javi’s jeans, and he wasn’t grinding between my legs.”
Still, no one said anything, but now Luna and Shanti had faraway looks in their eyes, probably because they were wondering what it would feel like to have their hands in Javi’s jeans.
I didn’t mind this, because they’d never know, and I already did.
And it felt awesome!
But we had a time limit on our briefing so we could go meet Shanti’s cousin, so they needed to snap out of it.
“Hello!” I called. “I mean, stupid me for saying I wanted to take it slow, I see I made a woeful mistake, but now I want to speed it up, and it’s not like I’m being quiet about it, but Javi refuses to take us there.”
“Has it occurred to you that he wants to take it slow?” Jessie asked.
“No. This did not occur to me,” I replied. “Seeing as he was grinding between my legs, and I felt how ready he was for me.”
“Oh my God, I haven’t been laid in a while and this is torture,” Luna groaned.
“I hear that, sis,” Shanti muttered.
“You know you could—” Raye started, aiming this at Luna, but I knew she was going to mention Knox, so I cut in.
“And he even said he wanted to ef me hard on the couch.”
“Babe,” Jessie said, but spoke no more.
“What?” I asked.
“It can be special for guys too,” she said.
I went statue still.
Because…
Oh.
My.
God.
