“Raspberry, please.”
“And for you?” he asks Legs.
“Do you have any flavor combos that will work as an eviction notice?”
John’s lips twitch as Legs points to her vagina. “You like spicy?”
“Kinda how I ended up in this mess in the first place, but sure.”
Amity snorts as John chuckles. “I have just the thing.” He looks over at me. “How’s it going?”
“Good. So far, I like the banana pecan best.”
“I’ll make note of your favorites so we can make sure we have them in when you next come to visit.”
“You’re too sweet.”
He winks and heads off, leaving the others watching me.
“What?”
“Usually, it takes John a while to warm up to new people,” Kruger answers.
“He seems nice to me. I could see it with Maria, though, before she hugged me at least.”
Nevaeh leans closer. “Maria hugged you? Like on purpose? She didn’t just trip and accidentally fall into you, like I did to Marcus Jefferson outside fifth-grade English?”
“Marcus Jefferson picked his nose and ate it.” Amity grimaces.
“I wasn’t into him. I was into the chocolate bar he had hanging out of his backpack.”
“You little thief.”
“Is it really considered stealing if it’s candy?”
We all look at her before responding with a resounding yes. She rolls her eyes. I chuckle. I can’t help it. This woman is certifiably insane. I already kinda like her.
“So, let’s talk about the elephant in the room,” she starts.
“That’s me, isn’t it? I’m the elephant?” Legs whines, making me choke around a mouthful of cookie-dough ice cream, which is my least favorite so far.
“Dear sweet baby Jesus,” Amity mutters, banging her head against the table.
“Pretty sure my dick just shriveled up.” Kruger sighs.
“Time to worry is when you grow a vagina.”
“Not sure that’s possible, thankfully.”
“I don’t know, some of the biggest pussies I’ve seen were men,” I tease, making the girls start laughing.
“Can’t argue with that,” Amity agrees.
The bell above the door goes again. We all look around to find Midas and G. I turn away when G glances over at me, feeling my skin heat.
“I’ll go join them, give you ladies some peace for a minute.” Kruger kisses my temple before sliding out to join the others.
“Interesting,” Nevaeh coos, but she says nothing else as their orders are placed in front of them. It isn’t until the server leaves that she starts again. “So, elephant—and not you, Legs. We know a little of your story, but given the source, we decided to make up our own minds. Men have strange brains that can’t be trusted.”
