“Okay, linda, let’s do this,” Jinx whispered.
We all let out a collective sigh of relief.
So as not to spook her, we also stayed silent as we walked her out to the cars.
Shanti, Joey, Gemma and I got into one.
Raye, Luna, Harlow and Jessie scrunched with Jinx in the other one.
And we rolled out.
It was with fear, awe and shock when both cars slid to a halt at the curb outside Noah’s house.
“Well, shit, he lives in a mansion with a pool and a view of the mountains,” Shanti muttered.
He did.
Yeesh.
How much did accountants make?
There appeared to be a drama happening in the car ahead, so we sat in ours watching nervously.
Finally, it seemed like Jessie physically booted Jinx out with the way she went flying from the back seat.
But we had another problem.
The door to the mansion was open, and a tall man was standing in it, leaning against one arm held high against the doorjamb.
He was watching all of this happen.
“Okay, right, he is hot,” Joey breathed.
Yep.
We tore our attention from the hot guy to watch as Jinx walked slowly up his driveway in her cute shorts, cute shirt and cute high-heeled wedges.
And, not moving a muscle, we watched her make the front door.
Then we watched as, before she even got that first word out of her mouth, Noah bent, hooked her around the backs of her thighs, lifted her up, and she let out a surprised shriek that carried down to the cars.
Once he had her in, he shut the door.
“Well, all right,” Shanti said, and I didn’t have to look at her to know she was smiling big.
“That was unexpected…and awesome,” Joey added.
I agreed so much, I felt a tear slide down my cheek.
The door to the house opened and we braced.
But all we saw was Jinx poking her head out before she shouted, “Adios, amigas.”
Noah appeared behind her, curved an arm around her chest, she disappeared, and the door shut.
There you go.
We pretty-womaned the hell out of that.
