one this morning. How about you make one for Sunday? Would that
make you feel better?" Now she's grinning at me.
    "Yes, it would,” I say like a five-year old.
“You know you can't cheat on me like that. That’s the ultimate
betrayal and you damn well know it!” I pause for effect and
continue. “I'll let it slide this time but don’t let it happen
again." I bump her with my hip and give her a big smile.

SAM
    Finally! I've been keeping an eye on the door
so I could see her the minute she got here. I don't want any of my
friends to try and snatch her up before I get the chance to.
Clarity came with a little help from my nap. I'm not looking for a
relationship so we can fuck while I'm home. What's the harm if
she's game? None. If she does go crazy I’ll be across an ocean
where she can’t get to me. She’s walking towards us and as she gets
closer I notice she has a bruise on her cheekbone. What the fuck
happened? "Hey, Sidney. What happened to your cheek?"
    "Um…well I'm a bit of a klutz." Her cheeks
turn pink. "When I was putting my shorts on I caught my toe and
tripped, I caught myself from hitting the floor but I did it by
catching the side of my face on my dresser." Now she's chuckling
and you can see she's embarrassed. She waves to her cheek and says,
"This is nothing. You should see some of the things I've done to
myself." We all laugh. She looks straight at me, "Are you going to
introduce me to your friends now that everyone knows gravity wreaks
havoc in my life?" They all chuckle again.
    I give my head a little shake to get my
thoughts back on track. "Sorry. These are my cousins I was telling
you about.” I point to each of the guys as I introduce them.
“Jacob, Jeremy, Jesse, Josh and Joel. Guys this is Sidney, Danny
and Tasha's friend and neighbor."

SIDNEY
    Oh my god! Sam's cousins are cootchie
puckering gorgeous just like him. Tall, muscled and tatted. Yum!
Notes to self: Jacob: 6'4, short dark brown hair that’s messy
spiked on the top in a faux hawk, bright blue eyes, full lips. Holy Hell! He has muscles on top of muscles. Jeremy: 6'3,
light brown hair, blue eyes. You can tell they’re all related.
Jesse: 6'3, dark short hair with darker blue eyes. He’s almost as
bulky as Jacob. Josh and Joel: 6'3, messy dark hair, both have blue
eyes. Their tattoos are peeking out from their shirts more than the
others.
    I shake everybody's hand. I know it seems
weird but that's just me. Human contact is a personable thing and I
like it. To me when you touch someone you can get a feeling of
their personality by the vibe they give you. And let me just say I
get a damn good vibe in my panties from them all but especially
Jacob.
    I turn to Sam and give him the bottle of
Johnnie Walker I bought him. “Welcome home and thank you for your
service.” He gives me a hug and kiss on the cheek.
    “Thank you so much. You didn’t have to but I
appreciate it.”
    “You’re more than welcome.” I notice his hand
stays on the small of my back after the hug.
    I look back to the rest of the group. "Sam
tells me you guys live around here." I know I’m an idiot but it's
all I can come up with because my underpants have melted and are
now running down my leg along with my brains.
    Jacob answers me. "Yeah. We all live and work
together. I have a PI business. Myself, Jeremy and Jesse are all
Bail Enforcement Agents also." He clasps Sam on the shoulder. "We
were just trying to recruit Sam here to come work with us when his
enlistment is up. We do a lot of business catching skips and I
think he would like that best. I mean chicks dig bad asses. Right,
Sidney?"
    Sam scoffs at Jacob. "Hey Jackass quit trying
to hit on her. You haven't even given her time to take y'all in.
You guys together are a little intimidating with your size." He’s
just as big as they are and it makes me laugh to myself.
    Jacob grins and looks me up and down while
saying, "Nah, I can read people. Sidney's not intimidated. If she
was she
