I'm so happy for them. It's all she's ever wanted, for Allie to know her dad. "Is he coming to see you both?"
Her face falls, and I immediately feel like an ass. "Not yet, he told me that he wishes he could but right now, with things happening he can't. But he's hoping he'll be out here soon."
"What about you two? Are you going to go there?" Lacey asks the question I've been dying to find out.
"I don't know, when we spoke yesterday, it was all about Allie. I'm not sure if I would go there again. I was burned before." She gives us a small smile. "What about you, Mia? What's happened with you and Hudson? Did you talk?"
Heat rises in my cheeks, shit, I should have known that she'd ask. I was surprised that Lacey hadn't asked me.
"Oh, wow, that good, huh?" Sarah laughs.
"We kind of picked up where we left off." I bite my lip as I wait for their responses.
"Nice!" Sarah hoots. "Was it as good as you remember?"
I can't help the grin that forms on my face, "Better." I confess, "But guys, I feel so guilty, like what we're doing is wrong."
Sarah's nose crinkles, "Why is it wrong?"
"They're brother and sister." Lacey explains, "It would be weird for some people."
My heart sinks, I didn't think she'd think that way. God, now I'm re-thinking everything I thought I had sorted out.
"Mia, I don't think that." She reaches out and touches my hand. "I promise you, I don't. I watched you and Hudson last night. You two are made for each other. It's clear to see that you both really care about each other, even though you had only spent one night with each other."
"Mia, do you like Hudson?" Sarah asks, her voice tight as she does so.
"Yes, I really do."
She nods, "Then fuck what everyone else thinks. You and Hudson do what you guys need to do to be happy."
I laugh, "So ladylike."
She gives me the middle finger salute.
"She's right Mia, you need to do what makes you happy. If anyone has a problem, it's their problem. But if people see you two together, they'll understand." Lacey tells me, and I smile, my girls are amazing, they have my back no matter what.
"Any other gossip?" Sarah asks, and I laugh. She's lonely and lives vicariously through us, although we don't have much to tell, usually.
"Well..." I begin, "I want to know what happened between Barney and Lacey last night." I smirk as Lacey glares at me. So something did happen.
"Oh my!" Sarah gasps as Lacey ducks her head, "Miss Lacey, spill."
When she finally lifts her head, her face is as red as a tomato, "We kissed. Well, he kissed me."
I roll my eyes, "Did you like it?"
Sarah laughs, "Look at her face, of course she did!"
"Lace?" I ask, trying not to laugh as she hides her face behind her hands.
"Yes." It's a squeak, but we hear it.
"Tell us everything," Sarah begs.
I'm so happy for Lace. She needs someone in her life who will make her blush like she is now.
"I went to bed, and he followed me up not long afterward. He knocked on my door and I had just put on my pajamas.” She shakes her head, a small smile on her lips, “His hand reached to the back of my neck, and he pulled me toward him.”
