silver dollars as she said, “What do you mean? You two know each other?” Justin walked up next to Simone with a mixture of nervousness and mild amusement on his face. He probably thought Marshall was going to punch him out, but at the same time he found the situation as amusing as Eva did.
“We’ve met, yeah,” Marshall said, still glaring at Justin. Justin, who seemed to have lost any sense of concern for his own safety turned to Eva, grinned from ear to ear and said,
“Hey Eva, how’s it hangin?” Eva couldn’t help herself, she lost it. She busted up laughing while Simone and Marshall looked at her like she was crazy and Justin looked like he just wasn’t sure what the hell was going on. He finally said,
“Oh Dude! This was the chick you were on the phone with the other night when Eva and I were getting hot and heavy on the dance floor.”
Marshall took a step forward, Eva, who had tears streaming down her face from laughing automatically put a hand on his chest. Simone, who still didn’t know what the hell was going on, but knew that she didn’t want Eva touching her man shot out a glare that may have stopped the devil in his tracks. Eva moved her hand and said,
“I’m hungry. Let’s get some breakfast.”
“Right on,” Justin said.
“You’re not invited,” Marshall told him.
“What happened between the two of you?” Simone said. It was like a comedy of errors and Eva guiltily loved it.
Somehow they made it to the little restaurant at the front of the complex without anyone punching anyone in the face. Eva had to use the restroom and before she left she whispered to Marshall,
“Please behave. I don’t want to have to bail you out of jail in order to finish our trip.”
Marshall nodded, but his face didn’t seem to be making any promises. Eva wasn’t sure if Justin was stupid or stoned or both but he seemed oblivious to how close he was to getting his ass beat. He acted like he thought he was part of the group.
When Eva got to the bathroom, she took her phone out. She couldn’t wait to post the photos she’d taken of her and Marshall and the gorgeous scenery on their hot air balloon ride on Facebook. She was sure, now that Simone had arrived that she wouldn’t have much chance to get a selfie of the two of them again. She uploaded the photos and by the time she finished her business, Helen had already liked and commented on them,
“What a grand adventure! The two of you make such a handsome couple.” Eva thought it was funny how she talked like an old woman. Her photo only looked like she was about thirty-five years old.
She private messaged her back saying, “Simone just showed up, so those might be the last of Marshall and me together.”
Helen didn’t respond right away. Eva was almost back to the table when her phone beeped. She looked at it and Helen had said,
“Don’t let her discourage you.”
“From what?” Eva asked back.
“From getting what you want and deserve.”
“Eva?” She looked up and Marshall was giving her a quizzical look. “Who ya talking to?”
“Um, just my mom. Where’d RV guy go?”
“He had to run,” Marshall said with a grin. Eva slid in across from him and of course Simone who was practically sitting in his lap. “I ordered your coffee,” he said.
“Thank you,” Eva told him. Simone was giving her a strange look. She smiled suddenly, another unpleasant one and she said,
“The two of you are so cute, like an old married couple or something.” It was obvious from her tone that she thought they were anything but cute.
“Thirteen years is a long time, Simone. People get to know just about everything there is to know about one another in that amount of time,” Eva was surprised to hear the words come out of her own mouth. She usually didn’t respond to Simone’s sniping, but she was so aggravated that she’d crashed their road trip. She was really going to have to keep her tongue in check. Luckily, the waitress brought
