iPad. “Do you know the first ancient Greek translation of forest was ‘large penis.’”?
We all burst into laughter.
“I’d love to get into his forest,” Lori said. “Suck his dick like a candy cane on Christmas morning and give ‘im some real porn-worthy head. Mm-hmm. I’d like to get into his box of chocolates!”
“You did not just say that,” I said.
“I can’t help it. How often is a guy like that even available?”
“I’m sorry, but I can’t get past his name,” Alexis said. “You need to snap a picture of him, while you’re at work or something, just so I can make sure he doesn’t look like Tom Hanks in that weird little suit.”
“And look like a total stalker? I don’t think so.”
“Are you gonna call him tonight?” she asked.
“And look totally desperate?” I retorted.
“Why not? You kinda are, sis,” she teased.
I laughed. “Okay, maybe I am, but I have a lot on my plate right now. I mean, tonight, I have to get my things and the girls out. In fact, I think I’m gonna cancel the date and see if we can hook up in a few months, when things settle down. I need to be there for my kids during this confusing time. I guess I just got swept up in the moment of a good-looking guy showing me some attention.”
“What!? You can’t just toss a fish like that back in the ocean, girl,” Erin said. “You might never see him again. Some other girl’ll snag him right up.”
I sighed. “If it was meant to be, then it will be.”
“I’ll tell you one thing,” Juliet said. “It’s definitely an ego booster to snag a hottie. Where can I get some arm candy like that? Maybe a guy like that would make Kyle jealous enough to—”
“Oh, my goodness,” Erin interrupted. “With a boyfriend like that, why would you need Kyle?” Then she looked over at me. “If you’re on the arm of a guy who looks like that, you’ll get the VIP treatment wherever you go.”
Juliet laughed. “Yeah, but on the flipside, Morgan will turn into a jealous, territorial, possessive lunatic. I mean, who wouldn’t, with every woman checking out his gorgeous body?”
“I think you guys are getting a little ahead of yourselves,” I said.
“He’s the perfect guy to date after a bad divorce,” Lori said. She then cleared her throat. “No, scratch that. Let me rephrase. He’s the perfect guy to fuck after a bad divorce.”
I playfully slugged her.
“So, tell me more about this Forrest. For starters, he wasn’t ever on leg braces was he? And are you sure he’s not already in love with some girl named Jenny?”
“Not that I know of,” I said with a smile.
“He’s so masculine, yet he has these, Bambi-like eyelashes and these gorgeous blue eyes,” Sophie said, as if she’d memorized his every feature as well as I had.
“His face looks like it was chiseled by some Italian sculptor,” I added.
Sophie smiled. “Yeah, and he’s got that mouth, those full lips, perfect for smooching the night away.”
I laughed. “He has a sweet, boyish, charming grin with a perfect movie star smile.”
“He’s six-two, with broad shoulders and muscles galore,” Juliet said.
“Hmm. I’m definitely not thinking Forrest Gump anymore,” Alexis said.
“Think Ian Somerhalder, with a dash of Brad Pitt, Bradley Cooper, and Robert Pattinson.”
My sister’s eyes brightened. “Wow. He does sound like a hottie. I’ll come over and do your hair and makeup before the big date.”
I slugged her. “You just want to meet Forrest.”
“Everyone has met this mystery man but me, so yes.”
“No interrogations,” I said.
“I’m not Mom.”
I laughed, then guzzled down my drink. “Listen, I’ve gotta go. I’ve got to get my stuff over to your house before I pick up the kids from school.”
“You’ve got my spare key, right?”
“Yep. Thanks, sis.”
“No problem...and don’t forget to bring Harvey. I love that dog!”
“The kids will be so happy you’re letting him come. And listen,
