Suddenly, he lifted up, looked out the window and said into our serenade, “BMW Accountant is leaving.”
We all jerked our heads to the window then dashed out to stand in a line outside reception, watching the tall, handsome man in attractive glasses, dark suit trousers, a well-tailored shirt, and an askew tie striding to his high-end car.
“Jeez, he looks like Clark Kent, the Christopher Reeve years,” Willow muttered.
She was right.
Oh my, I loved this.
He turned our way, and I caught his blush (so adorable!) as Jessie lifted a hand and gave him a finger wave while the rest of us either smirked at him or smiled widely at him (that last was me).
Yeah, we were way cool.
Not.
We were totally those girlies who embarrassed you in front of the guy you liked, as in, say, what we were doing right now.
He opened his car door and looked up at the second floor of the motel.
Jinx was standing out on the landing in her work apparel, without her platform heels, arms crossed on her chest.
We looked back to BMW Accountant.
He waved at her.
Oh-Em-GEEEEE!
How cute!
We returned our attention to Jinx.
Then we stared as she waved back.
“Oh my God, she’s so into him,” Luna breathed.
“Oh my gosh, you are so right,” I panted in reply.
We waited until he’d pulled out of the parking lot before we raced up the steps to get to Jinx.
We came skidding to a halt as one, even Shanti and Willow doing it, and they didn’t really know how huge this was.
“I don’t want to hear it,” Jinx said.
“You are oh so totally gonna hear it,” Jessie told her.
Jinx’s gaze moved to Shanti and Willow. “Who are these gringas?”
“We’ve expanded,” Raye said.
Jinx rolled her eyes and strutted into the motel room.
We strutted in after her.
Okay, all the rest of them did. I wasn’t able to strut. It was more like a bounce, something I was very good at.
The room smelled like spicy cologne, powdery perfume and sex.
The first two were okay, the last…?
I wrinkled my nose.
Luna flipped the comforter back on the sheets and sprawled on the bed like two people didn’t just finish copulating on it. Raye and Jessie joined her. Willow and I primly chose the chairs by the table at the window. Shanti pulled her bottom up on the wall-mounted dresser.
“Nice flowers,” Jessie drawled.
And they were nice. Deep-red roses with pink tulips shoved in. And there were a ton of roses.
That bouquet cost some cake, and I was loving this even more.
Jinx sent her a killing look, but when she turned to the flowers, her face got soft.
Oh my God!
“You like him!” I squealed.
Jinx shut down her expression. “Yeah, I like him. He’s got a big dick, and he isn’t afraid to tip.”
“You like more than his big dick,” Raye stated, and now it was her wagging her brows.
“Don’t get excited,” Jinx warned, horning her way into the reclining bodies and stretching out on the bed with her back to the headboard and her ankles crossed. “Men like him do things like that”—she jerked her head to the flowers—“to make them feel less dirty when they’re with a woman like me.”
Yuck.
I hated that Jinx looked at it that way.
“Uh, just to say,” Luna began, “that dude is hot. His body is nearly as jacked as the Hottie Squad. He might have had a hankering to walk on the wild side, but he found what he liked and he’s coming back for more, doing that when he knows he could pull a ride just about anywhere and not have to pay for it or bring flowers.”
“You need to lay off the romance novels,” Jinx snapped.
“I love me a romance novel,” Luna told her. “But I’m about as romantically inclined as you.”
“This is true,” Raye affirmed.
“We’re not talking about this,” Jinx decreed. “I got a car payment due, and it’s summer, so my electrical bill is out the roof. I gotta get back out there. What’s up?”
“First, let me introduce you to Sabina,” Raye began, and Shanti raised her hand.
Yeah, we used Charlie’s Angels names as our street names, but don’t think this was uncool when it came to Jinx. I was relatively certain Jinx wasn’t Jinx’s real name either, and we didn’t know what that name was.
“And Elena,” Raye went on.
Willow gave Jinx a shy little wave.
“Is that the latest movie?” Jinx asked Raye.
And yeah again, we weren’t fooling anyone with our street names.
“Yep,” Raye answered.
“I haven’t seen it,” Jinx said.
“Us either. We had to look it up on IMDB,” Jess told her.
“We really should get on that,” Luna noted.
“Yeah, you might learn something,” Jinx remarked.
My phone in my back pocket vibrated.
I pulled it out and looked at the screen.
A notification from Javi came up, and I felt my eyes round when the content of the text showed after my phone saw my face.
