ALLIE
HERE WE GO
I made it into my room when Rachel shot in from the hall and shut the door.
Her eyes were question marks. “I can't believe Levi is here.”
“I know.”
“You've been alone with him and that's all you're going to tell me?”
“It's been somewhat awkward, but, uh, we, sorta had some closure.” Not a lie, had lots and lots and lots of closure.
“But when you first saw him?”
“Yeah, I was a little pissy, but it was a long time ago.”
“Pissy? He left you in the hospital with signed annulment papers and you were pissy?”
“Okay, maybe psycho bitch would be more accurate, but we came to a truce I guess.”
“I can still feel it.”
I looked over. “What?”
“The electricity between you guys. It's the same as back then. I don’t like it, Allie. He needs to go.”
“We're grown up now. I think we both now realize that kind of electricity is the equivalent of tossing a toaster into a bathtub.”
Her examining eyes made me twitchy. “I see. So, when you were in this big old house all alone, you guys were, uh, cool.”
Damn she and her questions. “We were good.”
What? It wasn't a lie. We were super-duper good.
Yes, our gang may have been a tad over dressed for Cosco.
While my favorite has never been hot dogs, Rachel doesn't lie; good grub for $3.
50. I even ran over to the bakery section, grabbed a white cake with flowers on it, and we had ourselves a delightful dessert. I am now a proud card toting member.
