"You slept with a complete stranger?"
"Can you get any louder Mary?" Philisa asked her best friend.
"I mean you slept with a complete stranger?" Mary whispered, "I've been trying to get you to do that for years"
"Its not like that, I was drunk"
"Drunk my ass!, what nice little excuse, so how was it? Was he any good?. Philisa sighed, as her mind drifted back to two nights ago.
She was in chicago on a business trip. The deal had gone well and they went out to celebrate.
"Soooo" Mary prompted, "was he?". Philisa sighed once again.
"He was amazing, there you got the truth". Mary giggled.
"Was he better than Jessi?" Mary inquired.
"What!" Philisa exclaimed "you have got to be kidding me".
"Come on you know you have been comparing them in your mind since you got back"
"I have not" Philisa tried to deny. Mary smirked.
"We've been best friends since kindergarten, I know you. Philisa glared daggers at her friend, Mary did not back down.
"He was much more experienced that Jessi, there are you happy?".
Mary shrieked and clapped her hands together like an excited child. Philisa rolled her eyes.
" I would love to meet him", Mary exclaimed a bit breathless.
"Well you won't because he is miles away , where he is going to stay, neither will I, he was a once in a lifetime thing".
"Fine" Mary said, "so are you ready for the weekend?"
"If you mean my luggage I'm all set"
"You know what I mean"
"Well Jessi said his brother is a really nice guy so....."
"Its not just his estranged billionaire brother were talking about, his drug addict younger sister, his witch of a mom, his demanding father and his ex fiancée slash stepmother. Philisa sighed.
"I know his family is messed up but I love him and he says I'm the best thing that ever happened to him so if spending a weekend with them makes him happy then I am going to plus you will be there so I'm gonna have a balance."
Mary took Philisa in her arms.
"You know I will always have your back, cause your my girl"
