“Hey, doll. What's up?”

“Hey, Ash, are you busy?” Her voice sounds a little off.

“Nope, why?”

“Amanda called me asking if Blake could come tomorrow too. I told her I need to ask you first.”

“That's okay for me. The more the merrier and Rock and our friends will join us too.”

“Rock, huh? Wait, you said both your friends? So you and him?”

“Apparently we’ve made it official.”

Her squeals make me jump, I almost lose the grip on my phone.

“Wait, I need some wine. You lucky, bitch! So?”

“What?”

“Did he taste the cookie?”

I shrug, not being sure what to tell her. “I don't know if he likes them.”

“Did he soak the cookie?”

“Kelly, are you okay? I said I don't know if he likes…”

“For fuck's sake, Ash. Did he get your V card?”

“Yes,” I confess, waiting for her to scream again.

“Just that?”

“What do you mean byjust that?”

“Details, I want details. How was it? I hope he didn't hurt you.”

“No, Kelly, he was so sweet.”

“That's good, then. Is he as good in bed as I imagined?”

“Stop fantasizing about my man.”

“Nah, he's not my type, I meant to say, watching him, you imagine him as someone who wouldn’t make you walk for days after being with him. But I'm so happy for you.”

“Let’s just say we’re pretty close then and there's something you don't know about him, but it stays between us.”

“Okay.”

I pause to create a little suspense. “He's a biker.”

“Holy fuck, for real?”

“Yep,” I find myself smiling. We spotted a few bikers a while ago and she told me they’re loyal to the bones and that’s one of the reasons she’ll marry one.

“Hmm, and does he have a single friend?”

“I think Mac or Brick are, not sure though, I met them this morning.”
