"What do you irl had been "I ain And I think we scarred the driver for life"

Jack laughs "You’re such a fucking dog, ie-style for ere actually inside her apartain We’ve been over this

Guys Sex Talk

Besides, despite the wild eagerness of Taxi Girl, the sex was sub-par She wasn’t even Colgate She was rade hotel rooms whose name you can’t even remember after you brush with it

"Hey, Kate," Matthew says, looking behind me I didn’t see her approach us

We’ll stop here for just a moment This is important

See the look on her face? The thin line of her lips? The slight wrinkle of her brow? She heard what I said And she doesn’t look too happy about it, does she? I missed this the first time around, but you should make a note of it This moment will come back to bite me in the ass later on

I turn to look at her Her expression is now blank and passive

"You want to join us?" I ask

"No, thanks I just finished having lunch with a friend, actually"

And up walks her friend She’s wearing ankle-high black boots, black tights that are ripped at strategic places up and down her legs, a miniscule skirt, a strapless hot-pink top, and a short knitted gray sweater Her hair is long, strawberry-blond, and wavy, her lips a shiny red, and her quick amber eyes look us over beneath a curtain of thick dark lashes

She’s…interesting I wouldn’t say pretty, but striking in a sexy street-fashion kind of way

"Matthew Fisher, Jack O’Shay, Drew Evans, this is Dee-Dee Warren"

On hearing my name, Dee-Dee’s eyes turn sharply inht before he busts it up

"So, you’re Drew? I’ve heard about you"

Kate told her friend about s "I could tell you, but then I’d have to kill you" She points her finger at irl here You know, if you’d like to keep your balls attached to your pecker, that is"

Although her tone is light, I get the distinct i around

I s to show her how nice I can be She keeps turning me down"

She chuckles Then Matthew interjects s? Donna, Deborah?"

Kate grins randives Kate the stink-eye

Shifting into pick-up eous girl Plus, it rhy fan"

Delores ser across her lower lip Then, she turns to the rest of us and says, "Anyhoo I have to jet, gotta get to work Nice s Kate and throws Mattheink as she walks away

"She’s got to get to work?" I ask "I thought the strip clubs didn’t open until four"

Kate just smiles "Dee’s not a stripper She just dresses like that to throw people off So they’re shocked when they find out what she really does"

"What does she do?" Matthew asks

"She’s a rocket scientist"

"You’re fucking with us" Jack voices what all three of us are thinking

"Afraid not Delores is a che the efficiency of the fuel they use in the space shuttles" She shudders "Dee-Dee Warren with access to highly explosive substances…it’s so I try to not think about every day"

After a beat, Matthew speaks up "Brooks, you’ve got to hook uy Let ret it"

Kate thinks a moment "Okay Sure You seem like Dee’s type" She hands him a business card "But I have to warn you She’s the love-’e for a good tiht or two, then definitely call her If you’re looking for anything deeper than that, I’d stay away"

We’re speechless And then Matthew rises from the table, walks up to Kate and kisses her on the cheek I suddenly have the urge to put my hand down his throat and rip his tonsils out

Is that wrong?

"You…are my new best friend," he tells her

Kate misreads the scowl on my face "Don’t pout, Drew It’s not my fault your friends like o, he was frantically trying to find the perfect place to take The Bitch for their wedding anniversary Apparently, Kate’s neighbor is the maître d’ at Chez, the et hi
