We have two hours left before Damien’s proposal, and I am freaking out. The venue messed up the catering and the proposal area, and I am about to get some people fired.




“We have two hours until the event and everything is a fucking mess,” I grumble as I walk past Nikki.




She grabs me and pulls me towards her.




“Look at me,” she says softly, and my eyes meet hers, and she gives me a soft smile, “It’s just a minor issue, can I call Chantel to come help, she’s good at handling situations like this?”




I sigh, I didn’t want to seem weak, or incapable, but I needed the help and as part of my therapy sessions, I was told to always ask, accept, and give help.




“I’d really appreciate that baby,”




She gives me a light kiss, and she pulls her phone out of her pocket.




“Chantel, I need your help,” she says, not wasting any time.




“Okay, I’ll send you the address,” she hangs up the phone and starts typing, she hits send and puts her phone back in her pocket.




I kiss the side of her head, “I don’t tell you I love you enough,”

“You can tell me, in the bathroom,” she winks, and my cheeks heat up.




I stutter, “I don’t know. What if we get caught.”




She giggles, “Or we can do it in the car?”




“Car,” and I pull her out of the restaurant to the parking lot, where her SUV is parked. She opens the door to the back seat, and we hop inside. It’s blistering hot in the car, but it adds the intense sexual tension.




Before we could even get our clothes off, there is a knock on the window. Nikki sits beside me and fixes her shirt, and I roll down the window.




I clear my throat, “Chantel, hi,”




“Hey guys, was I interrupting something,” she smirks.




Nikki rolls her eyes, “Yes, I was about to get some good dick, but I guess that will have to wait.”




I kiss the side of her head and I fix my pants; she fixes her clothes, and we step out of the car. Chantel is dressed in a pair of cargo pants, a white tank top and sneakers. She’s got her sweet smile and bright eyes.




“So, what's the situation?” Chantel asks.




“Well, the restaurant, completely messed up the two most important things, and we need your boss lady self, to go scare them into fixing it in less than two hours,” Nikki explains.




Chantel smiles, “I’m glad you called me, you two, go get ready for the event, and I’ll make sure that Charles gets the proposal of the decade.”




Nikki hugs her best friend and kisses her lips, “I love you.”




I look away from them and clear my throat, something about that turned me on a little.




“Thank you, Chantel, I don’t know what we would have done,” I say.




She gives me a wink, “Any time Mr Forsythe, now shoo, and I’ll call if I need anything.”




We say thank you, and we get into the car; I help Nikki inside the vehicle, and I walk over to my side of the car and get in. I sit in the car and stare at Nikki as she pulls out her phone from her pocket and begins texting. I couldn’t get the image of her and Chantel kissing, does that mean she’s bisexual? She can’t be, she would have told me. What if she didn’t because she feared I would judge her like I am right now? Shit.




“Babe, you, okay?” Nikki asks as he places her perfectly manicured hand on my leg.




“Are you bisexual?”




Nikki lets out a loud laugh and I immediately feel stupid for asking, my cheeks heat up.




She stops laughing and looks at me, “We girls are like that with each other, but it doesn’t mean that we are gay or bisexual.”




I nod, “Oh okay, but is it something you and Chantel often do?”




“What?”




I look down at my hands, “You know, kiss like that,”




She giggles, “Did you like it?”




I probably look like a tomato right now.




“A little,” I mumble.




Nikki lifts my head, and I’m looking into her eyes, “Baby, there is nothing to be ashamed of, you found something that piques your interest and that’s okay.”




“I guess, I just wish I was as experienced as you, but it feels so weird learning new things at my big age.”




“I think it’s cute baby, and besides, I love it. I love teaching you new things and your curiosity,”




I smile, “If I blush anymore, I think my face with explode,”




Nikki laughs and kisses my cheek, “You are so adorable, I hope our baby is just as cute as you.”

“And I hope they are just as smart as you,” I reply with a smile.




I start the car engine, and we leave the restaurant parking lot. Nikki decides that she’s hungry, and we get into Spurs, and I get her some ribs, BBQ wings, onion rings and chips, with a chocolate milkshake. She claims that it’s craving, but I think she was just hungry.




We make our way home, and we find X and Damien parked outside the gate, we both drive in.




“Look what the cat dragged in,” Nikki says as she goes to hug her cousin.




“X, long time no see, I was starting to think you weren’t going to come back buddy,” I laugh, as we share a hug.




“Hell no, and leave you guys unattended, y’all need a full-time babysitter,” he laughs.




“Ha, very funny,” Nikki says.




“How was your vacation with the family?”




“Xander, I cannot thank you enough, my wife, absolutely loved it. It was amazing.”




“Hey, I’m glad you two had fun.”




“Congratulations on the baby and the proposal, man I missed a lot, we need to catch up,” he says with a laugh, “We should go out, and catch up, after your proposal.”

“Or after the proposal, or at the proposal,” Damien adds.




“Speaking off, we don’t have much time left, we need to get moving baby,” Nikki says, “This girl, needs to get ready.”




We all laugh and make our way into the house, X had to get Charles from his apartment and Damien had to get ready at the cottage and get to the venue before we did.
