Well, if I'm walking, I better start now. Goddammit, Nat how did you get yourself into this! I needed to tell Cari. Something told me she would be pissed if I didn't. I was starting to learn her ways...
Me: Hey Cari
She responded almost immediately. Damn a woman after my heart.
Cari: Hi princess
Me: Don't be mad...
Cari: Oh God that's never a good way to start...
Me: Sabrina wanted to talk so I'm going shopping with her
Cari: Does that bitch not get the hint?
Me: She's not a bad person and I don't want to lose her as a friend
Cari: Ugh I understand but she wants more than that sweetheart. Like I said before I do not share.
I know I should be upset about her talking about me like that, but it just made me feel safe. I craved being hers more than I wanted to admit but I knew it was true.
Me: You're not sharing anything. I wouldn't have told you I was going if I wanted to be with her. Just trust me.
Cari: You have no idea how happy I am you told me, and I do trust you, baby. It's her I don't trust. Let me go with you.
Me: Nice try but we all saw what happened the last time you two were together. I am not breaking up another fight.
Cari: I promise I won't touch her!
Me: Cari I need to do this by myself. She needs to know that this is coming from me not you.
Cari: Fine! How are you getting there then?
Me: uh... Walking... I didn't want to get in the car with her alone!
Cari: Jesus, babe! I'm picking you up. No arguments.
Me: Thanks daddy
Cari: Oh, the things I'd do...
I gulped. Fuck I wanted her.

"Alright, you call me immediately if she tries anything," Cari lectured me when we got to the mall.
"I know, I know," I rolled my eyes.
"Don't make me come in there with you, Nat." She warned clearly not happy with my attitude.
"No, no I'm sorry!" I pleaded.
She smirked "Good. Now behave little one." Time to play with fire...
I got out of the car, walked away, and yelled "No promises!"
I heard her groan, "Of course I have the biggest brat."
I opened the door to the mall and turned around and winked at her. She rolled her eyes and yelled, "You just wait, sweetheart. You just wait." She had a devilish smirk on her face and her eyes were dark with lust. I felt my heart rate pick up and butterflies in my stomach. I ran inside hearing her darkly chuckle behind me. She knew the effect she had on me...
Now time to face Sabrina. I found her in the food court, and she waved me over. She looked just as nervous as I was.
"Hey, Nat. Thank you so much for coming," she said genuinely.
"Of course. We are definitely overdue for a talk," I laughed a little trying to lighten the mood.
"Nat I am so sorry for the way I acted in the bathroom and at the seminar. It was so inappropriate."
