〰 Take a redhead that uses her assets to get her way in business, a curly nanny who believes in true love, a dark-haired, drop-dead gorgeous stripper and you've got a curved t(h)reat.
Then add a nerdy personal trainer, a tall, dark and handsome bo...
I feel the mood shift when he steps out onto the patio. Everybody out here tenses up and I see he still wears that same creepy smile on his face. He got fatter though and bald. His eyes connect with mine and I prepare myself to face him.
He walks over in a straight line and I really question his mental state. Who does that? Greet the hosts first you idiot.
He comes closer and I know I've got this. Such a pathetic excuse of a man, who thinks his power makes him attractive. He even seems shorter than I remember. Come on over you bastard, let's dance.
I sense X's anger and watch Conan sit up and stare at the sleazy DA. Hmm, I guess Conan doesn't like him either.
I pretend not to see mister DA as he leans over the bar to get my attention. I slowly turn to him with a sexy smile on my face and he says: "Ama! It's been so long since I saw you. You are even more beautiful than I remember." I walk over to him and put my boobs on the bar as I lean forward.
"Mister DA. I'm sorry that I can't say the same about you." I look him over slowly and frown. "Wow, you really let yourself go huh? And that for a man who's into young girls."
I run a hand through my hair and lick my lips. "I guess you didn't get the memo. You should work out regularly and watch your diet if you want a shot at someone like me. I mean it's bad enough that you went bald."
He stares at me with his mouth wide open, his eyes almost popping out. I grab a slice of lemon and toss it in his open mouth. "There you go, something to match your expression. Want some tequila with that?"
I hear X chuckle softly behind me and I keep my eyes on the DA, who is still frozen in time. I move my gaze to my nails, making sure he knows I'm bored.
Conan slaps the DA on the back and he spits out the slice of lemon. I pick it up with a disgusted look on my face and hear Conan say: "I told you to stick with underage girls, real women are no match for you, dirty old man. And you know I would love to catch you red-handed and slap some handcuffs on you."
The DA gets up and walks out. I watch him go with a mean grin on my face.
I refill Conan's glass and he looks at me with amused eyes. "I would ask you to marry me right now, but I don't want to end up with a nose like X's. You handled that amazingly well. I'm impressed."
He laughs and X sits down next to him at the bar. He looks me over and seems even more impressed than Conan does. I grab a glass and pour him a whisky too.
The guys clink their glasses together and X says: "To strong, bad-ass women. You've never been more beautiful than you are right now Am." I wink at him and look at Conan, who holds his phone up to take a picture of me.
I raise my eyebrows and he says: "Please allow me to take a picture of you. And if you could give me a sexy look, I'd be grateful forever." I shake my head and chuckle.
I ask him why and he says: "I'm going to send it to someone and I hope he drops his phone in the bathtub when he sees it." X spits his whisky out to laugh and Conan chuckles.
X says: "Don't do that. He might end up punching you too."
I look from X to Conan and the penny drops. "You're sending it to Noah?"
Conan nods with a grin on his face. "Hell yeah, I am. I've known him forever, but I still love messing with that chick book reading nerd."
I want to refuse to play along at first, but then I realize I can give Noah something to look forward to before our first training session on Monday morning. I fluff up my hair and pull my dress down a little bit to reveal more of my cleavage. I bite down on my bottom lip and shoot a naughty look at the camera.
Conan takes the picture and says: "Fuck, almost dropped it myself." I laugh, pull the top of my dress back up, and walk over to the other end of the bar to pour some drinks for other guests.
I look up and see Montell saunter over to the bar. I smile at him and he says: "I love it when you prove me right." I raise my eyebrows and he says: "Told Mona you'd be fine. I must admit I figured Conan would save you when needed."
Conan yells: "Totally not needed!"
I laugh and ask Montell: "So what can I get you?"
"Mona told me to ask you for the good wine."
I smile and crouch down behind the bar and grab the bottle of Moscato and a bucket, to fill it with ice cubes, and stick the bottle in. I pick up two wine glasses and set them down next to the bucket. "Enjoy. Kiss my girl for me."
He grins, grabs the bucket and the glasses, and says: "With pleasure. Thanks."
I watch him walk off and watch Mister Sun dance his way over to me. He dances behind the bar and grabs my hands. I smile at him as he puts my hands on his shoulder. I slow dance with him and he looks so happy that I can't help but return the infectious smile on his face.
He whispers: "You handled that wonderfully my girl. I'm proud of you. You've turned into such a strong woman."
We dance a little more and when the song ends he says: "Just like ten years ago at the father-daughter dance. I'm still very proud to be able to dance with you as a dad. I love you."
The tears sting behind my eyes and I hug him, before running off into the house. I love that man, but after my display of strength, I don't want anyone to see me crying.
I sit down on the floor in the kitchen with my back against the island, I cover my face with my hands and let my tears fall freely.
I hear footsteps move closer and I pray they won't come into the kitchen.
