to be honest with Taylor about him kissing her, she had, most definitely, kept a lid on the sex dream. The last thing she needed was him being any weirder than he already was. She was already scared that he was taking the whole thing a little too seriously. As far as Desiree was concerned, he had actually become a bit withdrawn. Even though they spent time together, things were different and she wished more than anything that she could take the three minutes back, the three minutes it had taken for her to tell him what happened in Leon’s penthouse. In the few days that had passed, Desiree and Taylor had not had any sexual encounter and, as far as she was concerned, there was little prospect, the way things were going, of them sharing much intimacy.
    At first, the lack of intimacy had been because she was still so sore from the jackhammer sex Taylor had ever so lovingly delivered, but also because it had been a crazy week for her. This was the one weekend that every retail store hated and loved at the same time. It was Black Friday and one thing Desiree knew was that even though there were going to be enormous commissions at the end of the day, there was hell to pay before you began to glimpse the light at the end of the tunnel.
    To make it worse, Desiree had made a mistake in orders and, instead of the usual fifty crock pots that the store ordered, they had gotten ten times more crock pots than they needed and now she had to come up with a plan to save her ass. And the plan had worked. As she sat there looking at the other store employees, she could not have been more elated. As she looked at her team members in the small, workmanlike office, she smiled. “We did it guys,” Desiree said smiling proudly. “And we did it three days before Black Friday, so, a big up to everyone. Keep this up and maybe we can have a proper, if belated, Thanksgiving,” she added as people left her office. She felt really bad that the store workmates had to miss Thanksgiving, and, as was store’s custom, they always took one day off to make up for the holiday and even though it was never as good as a ‘true’ Thanksgiving, she was still grateful for it. For that reason, her family always had a surrogate one a week later, a tradition that they had come to love. In addition to all that, it was Desiree’s birthday and she had planned a small party for her. She had, of course, got Tony to blindside her sister so that they got some time to get everything started.
    At the end of her shift, she took a cab to Cynthia’s café to pick up the cake. By the time she got there, Cynthia was already done for the day, and trying to balance her books.
    “ Hey, Dee. Almost done here and then we can head out,” Cynthia said as she put containers of food in paper bags.
    “ What did you get?” Desiree asked.
    “ Well, as we know, Rochelle is a big fan of Chinese food so I thought we could do fried rice and sweet and sour chicken. Tony said he would be bringing the wine. So we are set here,” Cynthia said as one of the café workers brought out the cake. “And for the dessert, her favorite, red velvet,” Cynthia said as Desiree stepped forward to close up the box.
    “ Damn, woman, I just want to take a nice big scoop of frosting right now,” Desiree said as she inhaled the rich aroma of the cake.
    “ I know, but we must control ourselves,” Cynthia said as she picked the bags up. “We’re done here. Let’s go,” she said as they began walking out of the café. They hailed a cab and made their way to the apartment. When they got home, they set the table and sat down to some coffee as they waited for the guys. “So, I am not one to gossip but you know your sister and it’s not like I can shut out a juicy story. God knows I need some excitement in my life,” Cynthia said as they sipped on their coffee.
    “ What do you mean excitement? I thought things were going on well with the new guy,” Desiree said.
    “ It’s a good thing you don’t
