knockout.
    Her hair was pulled away from her face in
a neat ponytail.   She wore dark
skinny jeans and a saucy white tank top that revealed pretty much everything
since she wasn’t wearing a bra.   She wore a pair of my red Prada pumps, no jewelry, and just enough
makeup to make her look even prettier than she already was.
    “Where are you going?” I asked.
    “Just downstairs.   I wanted to make sure you made it out
safely.”
    “You didn’t need to dress up to bring
me....”   My voice trailed off when
I realized exactly what she was up to.   “Oh,” I said.   “Oh,
really?   So this is how you’re
rolling now?”   I cocked my head at
her.   “You’re going downstairs to
present yourself and the twins to Tank, aren’t you?”
    “Tank?”
    “Mmm-hmm.”
    “Twins?”
    I nodded at her breasts.   “Cool in here, isn’t it?”
    “Oh, leave me alone,” she said.   “So, I want to meet Tank.   So what?   I’ve been single for too long.   You said he was nice and that he was hot.   I need nice and hot.   I’ve been stuck with those chilled
zombies for so long.   I need a
man.   Preferably a live one.”
    “Well, he’s nothing if not all man.   Wait until you see him.”
    “Is he better looking than Alex?”
    “No one is better looking than Alex.”
    “If you weren’t madly in love with Alex,
would he be better looking than Alex?”
    “He’d come pretty close.   Just add fifty pounds of muscle and
about six inches.”
    She winked at me.   “Where am I adding those inches?”
    “You’re ridiculous.   And Alex is hardly lacking in that
department.   I need to run.”
    I grabbed my handbag and we left the
apartment and started moving down the hallway to the elevator.
    “Did you write your letter?”
    “I did.”
    “How did that go?”
    “Let’s just say it’s all out there now.”
    “I’m proud of you.   How did it feel to write it?”
    “In a weird way, it felt liberating.   I brought the letter with me.   I’m going to put it in my clutch
tonight so he’ll be with me.”
    “Now I want to puke.   Who are you?”
    I lifted my eyes to the ceiling and
sighed.   “A woman in love.”
    “I hope I haven’t created a monster.”
    I pressed the call button for the
elevator.   “I believe that’s what
you do.”
    “Not like this.”
    “Then be careful what you wish for.”
    The door opened and we stepped inside the
car.   Within moments, we were in
the lobby.   And there was Tank,
standing in the center of the room in a tailored tuxedo that somehow made him
look larger and more intimidating than he was before.   I thought he looked polished and handsome.   As for Lisa, I heard her take a sharp
breath.
    “Oh my God,” she whispered.  
    “I told you,” I said as I smiled and waved
at Tank.
    “My nipples are going to burst through my
shirt.”
    “That would be interesting.   Come on.   Shoulders back, but please try not to put anyone’s eyes
out.   I’ll introduce you.”
    “Can’t handle it....”
    We closed the distance between him and us.
    “You’re early,” I said to him.
    “Just in case you were,” he said.   He glanced quickly at Lisa, and then
looked back at me.
    “I appreciate that.   This is my best friend and roommate,
Lisa Ward.   She also has my back
and wanted to make sure I made it to the lobby safely.   I think I’m protected from all
fronts.   Lisa, this is Tank.   His real name is Mitch, as in Mitchell,
but he prefers Tank.   You might see
why.”
    Lisa held out her hand, which he gently
shook.   Never once did his eyes go
to her breasts, as outrageous as they were at that point.   Instead, he held her gaze.   A gentleman.
    “It’s a pleasure, Tank.”
    “Please call me Mitch.”
    “Why can’t I call you Mitch?” I asked.
    “Because I’m your security detail,” he
said to me.   “Tank is more
intimidating.   I’m not protecting
Lisa.”
    “You can if you want,” she said.
    That caused him to pause.
