“Okay…”
“Why did your parents name you Karma?”
This makes me laugh. If I had a penny for every time I’ve been asked this question, I’d be rich.
“My parents had a hard time getting pregnant with me. My Mom even took fertility pills. They didn’t have any problems at all conceiving my sister.” I shrug my shoulders. “So, they came up with a plan. Do good deeds and maybe Karma would be kind to them. I know, it sounds ridiculous, but here I am.”
I hold my hands up in the air. I don’t mention the fact, that Karma is my middle name. No one knows me by my first name. Well, no one except for Dusty, and he knows everything about me, or he used to. I don’t ever want him find out the things Aaron did to me.
“I don’t think it’s ridiculous. I think it’ s pretty awesome.”
He waves our waitress over. “Can I get some bacon, eggs, gravy and biscuits, and an o.j. to go, please?”
She gives him a wink. “Sure thing , Cutie.”
I raise my brow at him.
“It’s for Jude. Payment for letting me borrow his hog.”
“Ah, I see.”
“So, you have a sister?”
I nod my head. “Yeah , Lilly’s a lot older than me. She’s married and has a little boy. He’s absolutely adorable.”
Wow, I’m amazed at how comfortable Trent makes me feel. Our conversations seem to just flow. It feels so natural, like I’ve known him my entire life.
“How about you? Is Jude your only brother?”
“Yeah, thank God. I don’t think I could handle another brother. Jude is hard enough to deal with.”
I laugh out loud. I can’t help it. Yeah, Jude is definitely a character.
The waitress finally comes over and hands Trent a white bag.
“You two have a good day.”
“Thanks,” Trent takes the bag and holds it out to me. “Do you mind holding onto this? I promise I’ll take it easy on the way back.”
“Sure.”
It’s the least I can do. I had a really good time
CHAPTER 19
TRENT
I don’t even try to hide my face-splitting grin, when I hand Jude his breakfast.
“Here you go.”
One of Jude’s eyebrows lifts quizzically at me.
“You look awfully happy.”
His mouth drops open and he gapes at me.
“Did you fuck her?”
I slap him in the back of the head – hard.
“No! Shut the fuck up! Karma isn’t like that. She’s a good girl.”
A good girl, I’d like to teach how to be naughty. Oh yeah, that would be fun.
“Oh my God, listen to you!. ‘Karma’s a good girl.’ You’re totally pussy whipped. Do you even have a dick?”
Oh yeah, I definitely have a dick. It makes itself well known, every time I’m anywhere near Karma.
“I am not!” I deny, sitting down across from him. Truthfully, I know he’s right, but I don’t want him to know that. Hell, he’s cocky enough.
“Hurry and eat your breakfast. I promised the girls that we’d help them finish unpacking.”
“Ah hell! Why did you go and do that shit? My back is killing me, and Anna wouldn’t even let me cop a feel. Last n ight sucked balls!”
I laugh at him and shake my head. “Maybe you should try another approach.”
“Fuck that! I only know one approach – brutal honesty. It’s never let me down before.”
“Well , it definitely let you down last night. Anna isn’t some bimbo. If you want in her pants, you’re definitely going to have to work at it.”
“That sounds too complicated. If I have to kiss her ass, she’d better be good in the sack! You know how much I hate work.”
I shake my head at him.
