“Definitely we-disturbed-the-neighbors great,” I said with a smug smile.
“Yes!” she cheered. “I’m so happy for you.”
“Thanks,” I replied.
“Listen, while I have you on the phone, would you be able to watch Cody tomorrow? I got called into work, and my regular sitter isn’t available.”
“I think so,” I replied. “I don’t have any plans tomorrow.”
“Will Miguel be okay with it?”
“I’m sure he will be. He loves hanging out with Cody.”
“Thanks, Zach. You’re the best.”
I’d just hung up with Allie when Robbie walked into the lobby. I felt a smile stretch across my face. It was so good to see him. It almost felt like no time had passed. I had missed his friendship more than I realized. I pulled him into a hug. “Good to see you again. Did you have a good time exploring?”
“I did,” he said. “I went to a drag show last night and wandered around Asbury Park most of the day today.”
“The drag show at Paradise?”
“Yes. Darlene the Jersey Shore Queen was the headliner. She was fabulous.”
I laughed. “That’s funny. Darlene, also known as Albert, is Miguel’s best friend. He’s joining us tonight for dinner.”
Robbie grinned. “No way! That’s great. I’m looking forward to meeting him.”
“Did I hear my name?” I heard Miguel say from behind me.
I turned and said, “Hey, baby. Robbie went to see Albert’s show last night.”
I put my arm around Miguel and kissed his temple. “Miguel, this is Robbie, my best friend from way back. Robbie, this is Miguel.”
Miguel put out his hand. “I’ve heard a lot about you. It’s good to finally meet you.”
“Same,” Robbie said. He looked at me and added, “I guess things worked out the way you hoped.”
I tightened my arm around my man. “They really did.”
Miguel stepped away and kissed my cheek. “I have to take care of a guest complaint. I’ll see you at dinner.”
As he walked away, I admired how his pants clung to his tight, round ass. I imagined putting my hands on it, sliding my fingers down his crease, caressing his tight pink hole.
Robbie cleared his throat. “You’re about to pop wood in your workplace.”
I blinked. “Huh?” I looked at him and saw the smirk on his face. I rubbed my eyes. “Shit. I haven’t been this horny since I was in high school.”
Robbie just laughed. “Why don’t we go for a walk on the boards? That should cool you off.”
The walk was nice, and it did give me something to think about besides Miguel’s very nice ass. Robbie and I walked and talked all the way into Belmar, stopped to get a coffee from the local coffee shop across the boardwalk, and talked some more. We fell into our old relationship like putting on a favorite sweater, warm and comfortable and so familiar. By the time we returned to Moonlight Inn, it was almost seven, and Miguel would be done with his shift soon.
The hotel was warm after being in the chilly April air. Miguel was just leaving his office as we walked into the lobby. His smile when he saw me took my breath away. In all my life, I couldn’t remember anyone smiling at me like that when they saw me. I was drawn to him like a moth to a flame. He came right over to me and put his arms around my waist, raising his face for the kiss I gladly gave him.
“Did you solve the guest’s problem?” I asked.
“Uh-huh,” he murmured. “All fixed. I also got us a table for four. Albert texted that he’s on his way.”
My hand slid down to his ass because I couldn’t help myself. “Sounds good. Should we wait here or meet him in the restaurant?”
