“Aww, poor baby,” she laughs. “Thanks for letting me do this. I know this isn’t your thing, Kat. But it was so fun for me, and I loved spending the day with you.”
“Aw, Liv, don’t go getting all mushy on me.” I push her arm teasingly and giggle. “I’m glad we got to spend the day together. We need to make plans to spend more weekends together. I can’t go several months without seeing you in person again.” I grab her hand and give it a little squeeze, which she returns.
We pull up to the restaurant, and Liv hands the keys over to the valet. It isn’t a fancy place, but the parking is terrible.
“Talia is already inside, and she has a table for us.”
“Bless that woman!” I look up to the sky in jest.
We find Talia and join her at the table.
“I’m just going to message Sam real quick.”
“And how are things going with loverboy?” Talia gives me aknowing look.
“Very well, I think.” I pull out my phone and focus on my message to Sam.
I found a dress. And shoes. I think you'll like them.
Aw, you got me shoes? But, Kat, I don't wear high heels.
I snort at his message and look up to Liv and Talia staring at me. I wave them off.
Shoes for me, silly boy.
Oh, thank god.
I'm glad you found something you like. I can't wait to see it.
Would it be weird if I told you I've missed you today? I know I just saw you this morning.
I've missed you, too.
I swear I can still taste you and it's making me miss you more. Especially that sweet cunt of yours.
My face flushes and heat surges to my core as I reread his message. Liv and Talia are looking at me again, and I drop my eyes inembarrassment.
OMG. I'm in the middle of a restaurant with Liv and Talia. I swear my cheeks are beet red.
Just like I like them. Call me later?
Yep. I’ll call when we get back to their place.
I put my phone away and look up at Liv and Talia, who are still staring at me with expectant gazes. “How long have you been staring at me?” I accuse.
Talia is quick to respond, “Long enough to know that whatever you were texting Sam caused you to blush.”
“And long enough to know you are in deeeeep with that man.” Liv raises an eyebrow at me.
“I think I am. I don’t even know what to say, but I am in deep.” I grimace as I look down at the menu in front of me.
“So why do you look terrified right now?”
“I’m not terrified,” I’m quick to answer.Am I terrified? Maybe. A little.“It's just a lot to take in sometimes. I’ve been in love with him for so long, and to know he loves me, too? It feels like I’m on the precipice of something huge.
“Like I have to jump off of this massive cliff, and if I do, the bottom will either be the best thing I’ve ever done in my life, or it’ll kill me.”
I take a moment to compose my thoughts by taking a long drink of my water.
