watchful eye out for Teagan who was intensely flirting with one of the bartenders. Faye and Jaelynn had only greeted them before delving into the sea of good-looking men featured at the club. They hadn’t taken a break since.
    Dina motioned for drinks and she nodded. Still swaying to the beat, they made their way to the bar. Gasping, Dina threw herself onto the surface and laughed. “Oh my god. This is so much fun!”
    Sasha laughed with her and nodded enthusiastically. “I know! The DJ is really great tonight. So, what are you gonna have?” she asked, referring to drinks.
    “Just water for me, please.”
    Sasha motioned to the bartender and asked for free cups of water. After getting their drinks, they made their way to a quieter section of the club and took a seat on a fluffy couch. They sat trying to catch their breaths for a while and cool down.
    “I hope you don’t mind me saying this but, what’s up with your friends Faye and Jaelynn? They were really standoffish when you introduced me.” Dina set her empty cup of water on the floor.
    Sasha grimaced at the question. She had decided from the night so far that Faye and Jaelynn were not the best of friends to have but she didn’t want to completely shut them out of her life. They had known each other for almost two years and they had meant a lot to her even if they didn’t feel the same.
    “That’s just their personalities. You have to get used to it.”
    Dina didn’t know what to think of her response. She could tell there was more that Sasha wanted to say but Dina recognized that this was probably not the right time to delve too deep into Sasha’s relationship with them. From her small experience with the two women, she had immediately come to the conclusion that they were both self-absorbed and superficial. Faye especially. When Sasha had introduced her, Faye had barely said a polite hello before running into the club to flirt with strangers. Dina had never felt so dismissed by anyone before. It had surprised her that Sasha, who was one of the sweetest women she had ever met, would associate with someone so cold.
    Changing the subject, Sasha asked, “So how did your date with Slade go?”
    Dina’s mood immediately lifted at the turn of the conversation. She scooted closer to Sasha as if she was going to tell her a secret. The look of interest in Sasha’s eyes was genuine and Dina felt that she could trust her with anything. At the thought of Slade, Dina’s mind was overcome with the feelings he had wrought from her in their brief date. She had never met a man so romantic and giving before. In her previous relationships, she had often been used or cheated. But this one felt different somehow. She knew it was the start of something great.
    “He was wonderful, Sasha. He knew me so well. Instead of dinner, we went to a gorgeous walk through the park with his dog, Sam!” She began to explain the date from start to finish as Sasha listened attentively.
     
    Dina had been deciding on the perfect top that would show the perfect amount of cleavage when she had received a call from Slade.
    “Hey, Dina. I’m really sorry for this but would you mind driving to my house. I would pick you up but there has been a bit of logistical issues.”
    Having been afraid he was cancelling, Dina immediately agreed and took his address. It wasn’t until she had been driving to his home that she questioned what he had meant about logistics. Thinking of the worst, her nerves increased. Even though she had been seeing Slade almost every week at the diner, their conversations had usually been impersonal. It hadn’t been until the last few weeks that she had seen a spark of interest in his eyes when she served him.
    While not arrogant, Dina had always been aware of her attractiveness. But she had never imagined her overly curvaceous figure would spark interest from him. Usually, she had only been approached by black and/or Hispanic men. It had been a first for her but his
