“No way,” he growls as I nod again.
“Yes, it’s true! She says she’s having raunchy sex with all sorts of gorgeous guys in the sky, and that at first, she was nervous, but now, it’s like she has a club going. Totally insane, right? Anyways, things are going strong because Clara’s even taken two or three guys at once in one of the lavatories. I have no idea how she hasn’t gotten fired yet.”
Ranger whistles with astonishment.
“Damn,” he guffaws. “Is the lavatory even big enough? From what I remember, there was barely enough room to give you a solid pounding.”
I squeal.
“Yeah, but you did, and I think Clara is thinking of charging now. Isn’t that so wrong? I mean, she’s basically an escort who flies the friendly skies.”
Ranger chuckles.
“Emphasis onfriendlyskies,” he adds meaningfully. “Hopefully she doesn’t become a hijacker or an air marshal as part of ‘facing her fears.’”
“Oh you!” I giggle. “But yeah, I want to hear more about her adventures because Clara used to be so modest, and now she’s a super-slut! I love it,” I sigh with happiness. “It’s such an about-face, but she’s happy.”
Ranger just shakes his head with wonder.
“She better make sure she doesn’t get pregnant.”
That’s when I whip around to stare at him.
“You know?”
“Know what?” he asks with confusion.
“Well, Clara’s pregnant, actually, from all these crazy liaisons, and she doesn’t know who the father is. She’s hooked up with at least fifteen guys, and like I said, some of them were even threesomes or foursomes. So yeah, she’s preggers with no boyfriend or husband in sight.”
Ranger shakes his head.
“Holy shit,” he whispers. “You girls really do take the cake, you know that?”
I nod.
“Yeah, but Clara’s going to quit her stewardess job soon because of the pregnancy. I guess it means she’ll be living with her stepdad for a while because from what I know, he’s all the family that she has. So yeah, that’s going to be interesting, but we’ll see what happens.”
Ranger looks amazed.
“Would it be wrong if I said I don’t envy that guy?”
I merely giggle.
“Her stepdad, you mean? I know, but he can handle it,” I say with conviction. “I’ve met that guy before, and he’s a powerful man about town. He’ll be able to manage Clara.”
My boyfriend merely shakes his head again while resting a big palm on my slightly poochy stomach.
“Well, let me just say that I’m glad that you’re mine, living under my roof, and that we’re certain you’re pregnant withmychild,” he muses. “Holy shit, your friend’s in such a clusterfuck!”
I merely lean up to kiss my man before playfully admonishing him.
“Yes, but a lot of people would have said that our lives were a clusterfuck when we were in London, so we shouldn’t judge.”
Ranger is immediately penitent.
“You’re right, honey, and I agree. I apologize to Clara in advance and we’ll help her in any way possible.”
With that, I throw my arms about Ranger’s neck before staring deep into his blue eyes.
