“I’m in a medium, juicy mood,” Leo said.
She frowned as he looked down her body. Glancing down, she still didn’t understand what the problem was. The apron was still clean.
“What’s wrong?”
Paul slapped Leo around the back of the head. “Ignore him. We’ll take two medium steaks. Thanks, honey.”
She nodded and left.
“What is Leo and Paul’s deal?” Skylar asked.
“How do they want their steaks?”
“Juicy, and medium. They are weird men.”
Teri chuckled. “They are an adorable duo. Believe me, the lucky lady that snags them is in for a right treat.”
Skylar paused at the door. “Them?”
“Yep, them. They come as a package deal. You can’t have one without the other.” Teri sighed. “They are wonderful though. Good men, and I know they’re going to treat their woman special.”
Glancing back into the room, Skylar saw that the two men in question were staring at her. Offering a smil
e, she went back to work doing the best that she could to serve and to help her sister out.
Weaving her way through the tables, she couldn’t help but remember the horrible names she was called growing up.
Teri was curvy, but it was the kind of curvy that people seemed to gel with. It was an acceptable curviness. Skylar, she was fat, or a cow, or a pig that went oink-oink. So embarrassing passing a table to have that snorted loudly. Yeah, there were many times over the years that she had been so embarrassed by what people had done.
Fortunately, no one said anything or made a comment, and she was able to do her job without fear of some awful noise being directed at her.
She needed to find a job, and working with Teri would be an awesome way to finally get back on her feet.
Greater Falls was a nice place, and she could imagine settling down here.
Before she committed herself though, she would test the waters of being here.

“What the fuck did you do that for?” Leo asked, rubbing the back of his head.
Paul rolled his eyes. He hadn’t hit the bastard that hard. “Didn’t you see how fucking nervous you were making her? She wanted to run.”
“I wasn’t making her nervous. I was just enjoying the sight before me. She’s fucking beautiful.” Leo looked toward where she was serving a young family.
Paul knew exactly what Leo saw.
Skylar was a beautiful woman inside and out. Now, they could be wrong. They had been wrong about so many other things before, including Stacey, Cora’s friend who had used them for a good time, and moved onto the next man. Last they had heard, Stacey was also screwing someone else now.
They hadn’t given Stacey any real thought for some time now. In the beginning, they had cared for her, but that had never been love.
Paul had liked her, and he knew that Leo had as well. They had thought they had found the one, or at least hoped they had. That one woman who would be more than happy to have two men in her life.
He and Leo had been together through thick and thin. They had the same taste in women, and there was nothing more arousing than seeing Leo driving inside a woman. Paul could come just from watching his best friend. That was their deal, they came as a package. Two for the price of one. You didn’t get one without the other.
Long before they had started looking for a woman to claim as their own, they had both agreed to being with just one. Neither of them wanted to have a woman for themselves. One woman to share, and looking over at Skylar, something inside him just told him that she was the one.
He couldn’t pinpoint why he felt that way, but there was something about her. She was different from their other women. Not once had she given them any indication that she even liked them that way.
