“Moving. On,” I said as I sat down on the toilet. “So anyway, after that we went to a club and Gray danced. Jesus H. Christ, it was hot as hell.”
“Gray danced? As in he stripped?” Lauren asked as concern filled her voice.
“No, not really. His old boss was there, and they had a few guys dancing, only taking off shirts and stuff, they weren’t showing anything. Anyway, she asked Gray to dance and he said yes, and he put me on stage and got me all turned on and I couldn’t do anything because today we were just friends.” I dragged in a deep breath and kept talking.
“Then Claire was there and I got pissed and did what I always do and took off, but Gray wouldn’t let me and I ended up telling him everything about Claire and what she did to me in college.”
“Good!” Grace said.
“Yes, I agree with Grace. I’m glad you told him about that bitch.”
I nodded my head even though they couldn’t see me. “Well, then he twisted his ankle, but he really didn’t—he just said he did and we came back to his place and he told me the only way he’d feel better was if I danced for him, so . . . I did.”
“What song?” Grace and Lauren asked together. How in the hell they were keeping up, I’ll never know.
“‘Dance For You’ by Beyoncé.”
“Nice!” Grace said as Lauren giggled. “Then you had hot sex.”
“I tried to.”
“Um . . . you tried to? Meg . . . I’ve never known you not to be able to have sex. Especially with Gray. I’m pretty sure his sergeant was made for your Wonder Woman.”
Lauren busted out laughing as I bit down on my lip to keep from laughing.
“Shut up, Grace. Shall I get back to my story now?”
“Please do,” Grace said.
“Anyway, I thought things were going to move on, but Grayson had been up for hours. He worked all through the previous night, so I honestly don’t even know how long he had been up for . . . well he fell asleep as I tried to get my sex on.”
“So, let me get this straight,” Grace said, “you spent the day with him as friends only.”
“Yes.”
“Then you met his mom, as friends only.”
“Uh-huh,” I whispered as I chewed on my nail.
“Then he took you out, danced and put his junk all up on you, right?”
“Oh yes he did.”
“Then you returned the favor after you finally told him about the whore, Claire?”
“Yes.”
“And as you were getting hot and heavy, he fell asleep.”
“Right.”
“Okay yeah, I’m with Grace on this one, why in the hell did you call us in the middle of the night to tell us that, Meg?”
I closed my eyes and pulled in a deep breath through my nose before I pushed it slowly out between my lips. “I called y’all because as he was falling asleep he . . . he um . . . well . . . he said . . .”
“What? What did he say for the love of all things good?” Lauren said.
“He said he loved me. But earlier today he said he was falling in love with me. I forgot to tell y’all that part. It was during an amazing kiss.”
