he asked. “I’m just trying to help.”
Monnique t ied the string of her bottom piece. He obviously untied it. “Just go, Cortland.”
“I just care about your sun exposure.”
“I’m going to be sitting on my ass all day. It doesn’t need that much lotion.”
“It’s better to be safe than sorry.”
She looked at Sean. “Please take him with you.”
Sean laughed then grabbed Cortland by the arm. “Come on, buddy. They’ll still be here when we’re done.”
Ryan gave Janice a kiss before he left.
The boys left the pool then returned to the inside of the building.
“They are something else, aren’t they?” Monnique said as she shook her head.
“Everyone here hates us,” I said, looking around.
“I don’t blame them.”
Janice sighed. “Am I the only one who still has a headache?”
“I had a drink for breakfast. It helps the hangover,” Monnique answered.
“I guess I need to get drunk again,” Janice said. “So you two made out?”
We both looked at her. “You just realized that?” I asked.
“I don’t remember anything from last night. Did that really happen?”
“Apparently,” I said with a sigh.
“I wonder how that happened,” Janice said.
“I have no idea,” I said.
“I bet the guys tricked us,” Monnique said as she leaned back in her chair and opened a magazine.
“You think?” I asked.
“ I know Cortland. He’s a sweetheart and a gentleman, but he’s also a disgusting pervert. He asked if I would be willing to use a stripper pole in the bedroom.”
Janice laughed. “Sorry. That one is my fault.”
Monnique looked at her.
“Ryan got one and I did a number for him.”
Monnique shook her head. “I don’t know if I could pull that off.”
“It’s not hard,” J anice said. “And I doubt he’s paying that much attention since your goodies are hanging out.”
“Are you g oing to get one?” she asked me.
“No,” I said quickly. “We aren’t copying my brother. That’s just weird.”
“Well, what do you do to keep it spiced up?” Monnique asked.
I shrugged. “Nothing special. Sean always gets me off. I’m not too worried about it right now.”
“Yeah, Cortland’s the same way. It’s a really nice change. I loved my last boyfriend but the sex wasn’t nearly was good. I was lucky if I got off once a week.”
“Well, Ryan has slept with more people than I’ve met in a lifetime, so he has a ton of experience,” Janice said.
“Sean too,” I said.
“So, getting cold feet?’ Monnique asked.
“No.”
“Really?” Janice asked.
“Why would I?”
She shrugged. “I like Sean but he’s messed up a lot. You aren’t scared he won’t do it again?”
“No.”
“Well, that’s good.”
“Sean made some mistakes, but he never had malicious intent when he did them. It was a complicated situation.”
“You aren’t afraid he’ll get tired of marriage and go back to his old ways?” Janice asked.
“No,” I said. “I know he wants to spend the rest of his life with me. Are you afraid Ryan will?”
She was quiet for a long time. “Sometimes it scares me.”
“He won’t,” I said firmly. “He loves you, Janice.”
“I know he does.”
We lied there under the sun, reading our magazines and chatting about various things, mainly the guys. It was nice to not have them around and have some peace and quiet.
“You still haven’t gotten your dress?” Monnique asked.
“No,” I said with a sigh. “I’m not looking forward to it.”
“Why?” she asked. “That’s the best part.”
“I just don’t know what to wear. Girls know what style and cut they want when they are like five years old. I have no idea.”
“We’ll try them on and you’ll make a decision then,” Janice said.
“I would rather just wear jeans,” I said with a laugh.
“You’re going to look so beautiful,” Monnique said. “Sean is going to be speechless.”
“I hope so.”
“He’ll probably want to start the honeymoon right
