I made my way to the kitchen where I
spotted Everleigh perched on Hunter’s lap as he fed her an omelet. I grabbed a Greek yogurt from the fridge
before joining them at the kitchen table.
“I think I liked you better when you were
all reserved and aloof…this touchy-feely Hunter is kind of freaking me out,” I
teased.
In reality, I was overjoyed to see my best
friend finally receiving the affection and love she deserved. Ev and Hunter’s journey to couplehood had
been fraught with secrecy and delayed gratification. At one point, I had debated drugging them
both and throwing them into bed together to speed up the process. I was getting sexually frustrated just
watching their self-denial…I’m not sure how Ev didn’t combust.
“You are just jealous you don’t have one of
Hunter’s famous omelets. My man has many talents—big, impressive talents.”
“Are you offering me a sample of Hunter’s
impressive talent?”
Ev nearly spit the coffee out of her
mouth.
“Paws off lady, I don’t share.”
“You always did monopolize all the good
toys when we were kids, never sharing your Malibu Barbie.”
“For the hundredth time, you had the same
freaking Malibu Barbie, along with her Malibu mansion, convertible,
coordinating wardrobe, scooter, and whatever other accessories Mattel had
marketed that year. There was no reason
for you to want my Malibu Barbie,” Ev
returned with exasperation. This was an
ancient debate, which may pre-date the conflict in the Middle East.
“But your
Malibu Barbie had a couture hand-sewn wardrobe and Meme painted Barbie’s nails
with that little marker—so stylish…so me.”
“And then mom sewed a coordinating wardrobe
for your Barbie and painted her
nails. There was no difference.”
“But your
Barbie was the first, the trendsetter. Mine was just a copycat wannabe.”
Ev threw her hands in the air dramatically.
“I give up! Fine, you want my Malibu
Barbie? We can switch. Will that make you happy and finally end this
ridiculous debate?”
“No need, I switched them during a
sleepover one night. I’ve had the
innovative fashionista for the last thirteen years.”
“Are you freaking kidding me? You stole my Barbie? What is wrong
with you?” she asked, no longer pretending to be annoyed by our age-old
dispute…oops, I probably shouldn’t have fessed up to that particular truth.
I shrugged.
“Sorry, but you really didn’t appreciate her. You didn’t even notice when I made the
swap—what kind of mother are you?”
Ev lunged across the table and would have
caught me if Hunter’s arm hadn’t locked around her waist and hauled her back
into his lap.
“Why you—“ Ev didn’t get the chance to
finish what was sure to be a scathing reprimand because Hunter’s mouth was on
hers in the blink of an eye, distracting her with what I can only say was
impressive technique.
When he finally broke the kiss, Ev was
glassy-eyed and breathless.
“Would you like an omelet, Sam?” Hunter
asked as if he had not just laid a scorching kiss on my best friend seconds
before. Bravo, Hunter, bravo.
“You are not preparing breakfast for
that…that…Barbie snatcher. Come on, Mr.
FBI Man, can’t you drag her down to headquarters and charge her with
something? She may have even departed
the country with Barbie at some point.
That’s a federal offense—do something useful with that badge of yours.”
“Excuse us, Sam. Your best friend evidently needs a reminder
of how useful I can be.”
I could hear Ev’s half-hearted protests as
Hunter shut her bedroom door. I laughed
aloud at their antics. Ev was one of the
most determined people I had ever met.
She could easily steamroll over most adversaries. It was divine intervention that she fell head
over heels for the one man who could best her.
He challenged her and she loved every minute of it. They were a unit, stronger together than
their individual halves.
