eyebrows.
“Yea, this is a bet gurl, I’m down to win!” He cried back, and I laughed as the doorbell rang.
“Fine ass!” I called over my shoulder, to his laughter.
“Hay.” I said as I opened the door to Kendra and Mannford.
“I brought chilled wine.” Kendra said, and I nodded.
“My God, it smells so good in here! I’m starving.” Mannford moaned as he headed towards the kitchen.
Colin handed him a beer, and they chatted.
I smiled to myself, because he seemed so at home in my kitchen ; I thought as he leaned against the counter sipping his beer in convo with Mannford. He looked up, winked, then went back to his conversation with Mannford.
“So, how was it?” Kendra asked as we walked into the living room.
“Fun, we basically just cooked together, and it freaked me a lil bit.”
“Why?”
“Because it was so comfortable Kenny. I mean, it was like it was exactly where we were both supposed to be. Just like when we used to be best friends all those years ago. There was no tension, no malice, like he wasn’t trying to out cook me. We just had fun with it. I would have never been able to do that with Kellen in a million years.”
“But that’s a good thing right Sar?”
“Yes and no.” I sighed, and she frowned at me.
“Why?” She demanded, and I sighed again.
“Kenny, you know I’m in love with him.” I hissed, and she frowned.
“So.” She hissed back, and we both looked towards the kitchen.
“I’m afraid.” I whispered, and she embraced me.
“Just like I’m sure he is. Just because he’s a guy, doesn’t mean he can’t feel fear as well. Manny said I petrified him. What he felt for me after the first month scared the shit out of him, and he almost broke it off. Now amplify that by ten years! But he’s still here Sariekiko, and probably would have been for the last six years if he ever thought he had a chance with you.”
“Thanks.” I said as I lifted my head from her shoulder and sighed.
“For what?” She grinned, and I grinned back.
“For being the voice of reason these last ten years.” I said, and she laughed as the doorbell rang.
“ Hay hay hay !” Ms. Kerry called as he walked in.
I just loved it when she dressed up!
She was a Diva, and nothing less.
I went to close the door, and Barry caught it laughing.
The house began to fill, and I realized how happy I was, and hadn’t felt this way in eight years; I thought as I looked at Colin and he winked.
“So, buffet style tonight. By each dish, you’ll see a stack of cards, please take one from each dish. However, read them before you drop them in the bag.” Colin said, they nodded, and I laughed at Ms. Kerry’s look.
“You’ll place them in this velvet bag when you’re done.” Kendra said as she held up the bag, and I laughed.
Leave it to Kendra to make it a real contest.
“Okay, but what are the cards for?” Victor asked puzzled, Montez whispered something in his ear, he let out a whelp of laughter, and I immediately wondered what Montez told him. I also noticed that he winked at Colin, and Colin’s grin widened.
“So, everybody got it?” Missanna asked, they nodded, and she stood up.
“Let’s eat.” Kevin cried, and I laughed as I got up and turned on the IPod since we would be mingling in the living room.
“So what’s up with you two?” I asked Missanna as I nodded in Kevin’s direction.
“Not sure yet, sorta just letting it flow. Gurl, he does things that could actually make me an honest one man woman.” She said, and I howled with laughter.
Missanna, one man! I would love to see that.
We called her Samantha for a reason!
“Oh hey, you two can’t vote.” Kendra called, I looked at Colin, and we nodded at the same time laughing.
“Fine.” he said, then held his beer up to me, and I wrinkled my nose and gave him the finger. He threw his head back laughing, when he turned his attention back to Mannford, Kevin and Armando.
