“I like to browse”

”Well please… stop”

”Why, does it annoy you?”

”As a matter of fact it does”

”Why?”

”Because your eyeing off the fucking cake decorator!”

Her eyes moved towards me with force ”So? what’s wrong with that?” glancing back at the brunette ”She’s hot and I think a little kinky” her smile turned to a devilish grin.

”You hook up with someone who is going to make our engagement cake and 2 weeks down the track you lose interest and I end up with tears in my perfectly designed red velvet cake”

Tina looked at me like I was kidding ”So you don’t want me to fuck a beautiful woman because you need things to be perfect? Anything flawed with tarnish your reputation?”

”You have no idea what you are talking about” I barked, having to take a breath to calm myself down ”Come on, we have one more shop to look in before taking these home to Carly”

”You know what I find strange?”

”I’m sure you’re going to tell me no matter what I answer”

”How come your marrying Carly after such little time together? I mean you can seriously say you have soar all your wild oats at the ripe age of what… 34?”

Naomi, the cake decorator handed me some of the designs and a couple of quotes, in which I thanked her and watched Tina give her an alluring wink ”Come on Romeo” I felt like I have to forcefully remove her and as we walked up I avoided any reason to engage in conversation but yet, it still didn’t stop her

”You never answered my question” adding fuel to the fire she patted my shoulder ”It’s ok to be honest, I won’t tattle on you”

”There’s another cake shop on the next block, we should hurry.. it closes soon”

”This is your party Porter, I’m just the best friend”

PRESENT DAY

With my head now resting on her chest, Tina’s delicate fingers running though my hair I let out a content sigh. If I could only tell her the truth as to why I stayed with Carly but that would ruin any chance that the two of them would become friends again.

This was for the best.
