Mika sets her stuff down, pulls up a chair, hails a waiter, orders, and turns towards me. She touches my arm and I shiver.
"Hey, you two." And then Derricks phone rings. Five minutes later, he comes back.
"I have to leave. Work." That's all Derrick says,and then out the door he goes.
"What a dick." Mika tells me this,serious.
"I know. I hate him sometimes times. I can't believe I just gave him a blowjob under the table." I blurt out.
"Seriously?!" She says with a laugh. God. That laugh is like a light in the dark. Agh! Stop it, brain! You. Are. Married.
"Yeah. Seriously." I respond.
"Damn." Is all she says, and we both break out laughing.
Finally, our order arrives, and we talk, talk, eat, and talk. It's better than any night I would've had with Derrick. As we leave she touches me again. Shiver.
"Goodnight, doll." She blows me a kiss and my heart flutters.
Her air-kiss is all I can think about on the drive home.
Wow.
