“What say you, fellas?” Aimee asks.

“You know us. Anything to make you ladies happy,” Silas squeezes Bridget’s waist.

“Here, here,” Ranson runs his fingers through Lyric’s hair and rubs his nose against her neck.

“I’m always down to do anything with Suchi,” Kofi sucks on Suchi’s bottom lip and kisses her.

“And wherever you are, I’m there,” Patrick kisses Aimee’s hand and sucks on a finger.

Each woman responds by kissing her man. While the rest give a juicy smooch, Bridget and Silas are full-on making out. When they break apart, everyone is staring at them and chuckling.

Bridget looks at Silas and gives him one more kiss. “Oh, yeah. We’re giving her more money. Ranson, you got that handled, right?”

“Sure, Bridge.”

They all laugh before getting up and taking a group picture.

BONUS EPILOGUE

Ukweli and her three friends walk down the street on their way to a bar. Her phone buzzes.

She looks down and sees a picture of the ladies from LA with their respective men. She smiles warmly.

Her phone buzzes again, and she sees $10,000 in her account. She tosses her head back and laughs joyously.

“Ukweli, girl, what’s so funny?” one of her friends asks.

She turns to the women and smiles. “Ladies, tonight, drinks are on me.”

Her friends cheer. They continue down the street, laughing and talking.

THE END…FOR REAL THIS TIME
