Hey.Want to go to Sapph tonight?James sent me the message on Friday afternoon.

Yes please! Do you mind if I invite Larison and Jo?

Now that she’d met my parents, it was time for James to officially meet my friends too.

Sounds good!

“Hey, do you think your moms can watch Juniper tonight?” I asked Larison when there was a quiet a moment. We’d been slammed all day. I was filling in for Holiday again because she’d caught a nasty stomach bug. Poor thing was miserable, and I was happy to fill in for her.

“Possibly. Why?”

I told her the plan to go to Sapph.

“That sounds amazing. Hold on.”

After a little back and forth, it was decided that the four of us would go to Sapph and I couldn’t wait.

“What do you think?”James had come over to my place to help me pick out an outfit to go to Sapph in.

“No,” she said, making a face.

“What’s wrong with it?” I asked. The dress was dark and form-fitting and made me feel sexy.

“Take it off,” she said, snapping her fingers. I’d pulled the dress over my head before realizing what she’d been doing. My last two outfits had also been rejected for no obvious reason.

I glared at her. “You’re just saying no because you want me to take my clothes off.”

She grinned. “Yup.”

“You’re shameless,” I said, throwing a pair of pants at her that she ducked from her position on my bed.

“Yes I am when it comes to getting you naked.”

I pointed at her. “Shameless.”

Deciding to ignore her advice, I put the dress back on and checked myself in the mirror.

“Hair up or down?” I asked, gathering it in my hand.

“Up, so it’s not all sweaty on your gorgeous neck.” James got up from the bed and started kissing my neck, making me completely forget what I was supposed to be doing.

“Mmmm, that’s nice.”

Why were we going out again? Why would I want to go out when I could spend the night in bed with her?

“Want me to put it up for you?” she asked, resting her chin on my shoulder and meeting my eyes in the mirror. Her fingers danced up and down my spine and I wanted to take my dress off again and let her have her way with me.

“Yes please.”

James did my hair for me and I kissed her as a thank you.

“Ready to go?” she asked.

“Yeah.”
