I shook my head. “I don’t have the job yet.”
“Whatever. There’s three of them. They’re young, hot, rich, and they wanted you to stand andturn aroundat an interview?”
I nodded.
“Sounds hot.”
“Sasha!”
“Well look who you’re talking to, girl!”
I blushed even darker, as I always did when I thought of my friend and the two wildly attractive, completely dedicated men who I’m sure worshipped her like aqueenin the bedroom. I couldn’t evenimaginewhat having two sets of strong hands, two sets of perfect lips and two huge….
Well….all I’m saying, I knew there was a very good reason Sasha basically had a permanent smile and glow about her.
“What, I’m just saying?”
“Sasha, I’m not going to have an affair with one of my bosses.”
“What about with two or three of them?’
My face turned bright red. “Sasha! Oh my God,please. I’m not like—”
“Like me?” She gave me a sharp look.
“That’snotwhat I mean and you know it. I mean I’m not like you as in I’m notbraveenough for that.”
“You might surprise yourself.”
I blushed and quickly shook my head. “Oh my God, why are we even having this discussion?”
She laughed as she put her arm around me and hugged me close. “I’m just teasing you, you know. And hey, congratulations on the second interview!”
I made a face.
“What?”
“I might need some help with that.”
“How so?”
“Video conferencing. I sort of lied to them. I havenoidea what I’m doing there.”
“Seriously?”
“What? I’ve never done it.”
Sasha laughed. “Oh my poor technological stunted friend. Don’t you worry, I can show you. When is it?”
“Tomorrow night.”
“I’ll help you set it up.”
Tomorrow, I’d be seeing them again.
****
I saw them again that night though, in my head. As I lay in bed, the interview from earlier replaying through my mind, but this time, it played out differently. Colored by wine, and thinking more about my friend and her two men than I probably should have started to lead my thoughts to different places.
