guy I met at work."
"I knew it! But what happened to the old philosophy of don't shit where you eat?" Dang, Tresha was bold as brass and nowhere near ready to let go.
"He doesn't work with me, he works for a software vendor, the trainer I mentioned yesterday."
"Mmm... you didn't say he looked like that girl. You had me thinking of some pencil neck, pocket protector wearing nerd. Not that."
"I know, but he just..."
"Girl, are gonna give him the goodies? And you better not say anything other than yes."
"I-- yes, I am. Not right now, but eventually I will."
"Hell yeah! That’s my girl! He looks like he knows his way around a woman, I think you made a good choice. Wish my first time could have been nicer, instead of in the backseat of my date's car at prom."
"Yeah that sounds like it wouldn't be much."
"Exactly and in more than one way Jen." They laughed at the ribald entande, and rifled through the kitchen. The ladies popped two bags of kettle corn and unearthed a bottle of rum as they prepped a small pitcher of rum runners. The movie choices were eighties themed, Teen Witch, The Breakfast Club and a personal favorite, The Last Dragon. The pair bickered about the merits of each, finally opting for Bruce Leroy instead of witches and Molly Ringwald.
Tresha: Nerd-A-Liscious
"Sho-nuff!!" The pair cried out laughing, it had been at least five years since either of them watched the classic. Laughter was par for the course on GNL nights and this one was no different, despite how it started. Tresha tried hard to not embarrass her friend as she let the matter drop for the moment, and let the movie do its job of entertaining them.
But all bets were off when the movie ended, and Tresha was poised to strike, she wanted the goods. The ladies had indulged in two of the rum-laden drinks apiece and while not stumbling, they were each over a bit tipsy. Jennifer went to the bathroom and made the mistake of leaving her friend alone. Out of nowhere, the cell phone on the table sang Nina Simone's Feeling Good. Tresha picked up the cell phone and when she saw a text pop up with the name of the man she just met, opened it.
How is girls night going
The text was simple and innocent, but Tresha couldn't resist responding to him, even though she knew she was wrong for doing it.
It was wonderful as usual how did you enjoy dinner
He responded. You know I enjoy every minute I spend with you this was no different
Tresha knew that if she had to, her best friend was going to give in to him, even if she had to tie Jen to the bed to get it.
She giggled even as she replied back. I'm glad you liked it
Not it, you
Tresha smiled, this was going to be easier than taking candy from a baby. Then while she was at it, she may as well be selfish while on errands of love and mercy.
My friend asked if you have any brothers she can say hello to
Kendrick is dating somebody right now but its casual
Tresha shook her head, of course that would be her luck. Either way this wasn't about her even if she wished she could see what this Kendrick looked like. If it was anything like his brother... woo... woo...
It’s time to play fairy godmother, Tresha thought before she told Riordan the truth about what her friend really felt.
I think I like you but just a little bit
His reply was quick as if he were incensed and enthralled all at once.
Wow that’s the way to a man’s heart
She couldn’t resist a tiny dig.
That’s on the table already?
You know it is
She was thrilled. It was high time somebody was able to give her best friend a run for her money. But she only responded coyly.
As I don't read minds how would I know that
Your lips tell me you know and reciprocate
Tresha dropped the phone. She was smart enough to know she was over her head in this instance. The conversation at hand was too intense for her and
