Electric Blue."
Mia stared at the Too Wild to Tame top she'd worn last night—before her stint in the wet T-shirt contest. "Ummm, I guess I did."
Gina draped it over the back of the chair Mia was sitting in. "I asked the manager for it after you left with your date."
Mia rolled her eyes at that but refrained from issuing a reply to her friend's comment.
Unfortunately, Gina had no problem prying. "So that was the infamous Cameron Sinclair, huh?"
"Yes." Mia finished off her Pop-Tart and washed it down with a drink of water. "I take it Carrie told you who he was?" Gina knew of Cameron's existence but had never seen him before last night.
Gina nodded as she picked at the edges of her breakfast pastry. "Yep. God, Mia, you didn't tell me he's so… everything."
Unable to help herself, Mia laughed. "So everything?" she repeated, amused by Gina's choice of word to describe Cameron.
"Hot. Gorgeous. Sexy." Gina sighed appreciatively. "The full package."
The man definitely had a full package, and then some, Mia thought, remembering how the hard, thick length of him had felt in her hands and stroking deep within her. Heat rose to her cheeks, and she doused the rush of warmth with a long, cool drink of water.
Luckily, Gina didn't seem to notice her reaction. "So where did he drag you off to?" she asked.
"His place. He thought I was drunk, and he was trying to keep me from causing a scandal that would get back to my brothers."
"And?" Gina prompted, wide-eyed and curious.
"And what?" Mia replied casually, not wanting to encourage any further discussion on the matter.
Gina puffed out an exasperated breath of air. "And what happened at his place?"
Mia wasn't emotionally ready to discuss her intimate night with Cameron with anyone, maybe not ever. What had transpired between them was personal and private, and because it wasn't going to happen again, there was no point in making an issue of her one-night stand with Cameron.
"Nothing happened," Mia said and dismissed the pang of guilt she felt for not confiding in Gina when just minutes ago she'd wanted that same trust from her friend. She justified that this situation was different, that her relationship in no way threatened her physical state. Her heart, she feared, was another matter altogether. "Once I set him straight on the fact that I wasn't drunk, he brought me back home. End of story."
Gina was staring at her too intently, as if she suspected there were at least a few more chapters to that story, and Mia quickly changed the subject before her friend could say anything else.
"By the way, what was up with Carrie last night?" Mia asked. She and Gina had met Carrie at the gym about six months ago, and they'd all become friends—mostly Carrie's doing, as she'd been the one to pursue the friendship. They hung out together occasionally, but lately Carrie had been acting strange and distant, and last night her attitude had not only been cool, but even a bit abrasive.
A confused look passed across Gina's features. "What do you mean?"
"She snapped at me a few times for no real reason I could figure out." She shrugged. "She just seemed on edge, and it didn't take much to set her off."
"Sounds like a classic case of PMS to me," Gina said and laughed.
Mia thought about Gina's explanation for Carrie's odd behavior, and she supposed it was completely plausible. "Yeah, I guess so."
Gina stood and walked over to the kitchen sink, a light spring in her step Mia hadn't seen in a long while. "So can we go see a chick-flick today? I've been dying to see that new Richard Gere movie."
The enthusiasm in Gina's voice made Mia smile. Besides, who could resist gazing for two hours at one the best-looking actors in the business? "Richard Gere it is."
She had a feeling the distraction would do them both good.
