That hurt so much.
“Serious?”I reply, noticing all the girls were now listening.“Jake is amazing.Gorgeous.Knows his way around my body, if you know what I mean.”
A round ofoh yeahssounded.
“But?”Cassy asks, tucking some hair over her ear.
“He’s too hot.You can’t love a man that sexy.”Trina nods.
What?
Everyone stares at her like she just announced she was in the Taliban.
“What the hell!You just got back from your honeymoon.”Scarlett snorts.“Do we need to tell Marshall you gave him a three star?”
Briar and Cassy start laughing.
“No, I’m just saying, Jake is an exceptionally handsome guy.I love Marshall.Fuck’s sake, Scarlett, stop typing on your phone.”
“Taking notes.”
“Well, don’t.”Trina rips the phone out of Scar’s hand, glaring at the screen.“Stupid grocery list.”
Scarlett winks at me.
God, she’s trouble.Which is why I love her to death.
Savannah walks in the door, heavily pregnant, with her bodyguard hovering nearby.That silences us.They claim not to listen, but given they work for BHS, there’s a one hundred percent chance they’d repeat our girl talk.Especially if it’s about the guys.
Which, let’s face it, it almost always is.
“What did I miss?”Savannah asks.
“New book.I’ll send you the link,” Trina says.
“And...”Savannah knows we’re concerned about a leak, so she frowns, turns and waves her guard further away.
He shakes his head.
“Ugh.”Savannah flops back in her seat.
I lean across the table and whisper.“Trina thinks Jake is hotter than Marshall.Scarlett is writing a grocery list.You’re now caught up.”
The confusion on her face lasts about ten seconds.“Okay.So...weird thing to say about your husband.But no judgment.”
“I never said he wasmorehandsome than Marshall.”
“I mean, you did.”Briar shrugs.
Yeah, she did.
“I was trying to be nice.To give Caylee an out.Instead, my kindness bit me in the ass.”Trina sighs.
No one is buying that.
But we also know she’s madly in love with her husband.
“Fine, my real opinion is he’s a hot jerk.If Jake isn’t cheating, then he’s clearly one of those forever bachelors.”
