disappear without a goodbye and then come back and the friendship is good? Uh, uh hell no!
she thought scowling at him while staring into his blue eyes. Her scowl became a glare when she saw mirth in his eyes.
He thinks this is funny?
    He chuckled. “You’re mad at me.” It wasn’t a question, he was stating a fact.
    “Carter, baby, I would have come to say goodbye to you, but the matter I had to attend to was of some urgency and I left in the middle of the night.” He tucked a loose strand of hair that had fallen from her ponytail behind her ear. He tugged at her earlobe gently. “I didn’t have time to call you either, I had to travel a lot this time, but I thought about you, and I got you post cards from every country I visited.” He reached in his back pocket and pulled out five post cards.
    Dammit, for a jerk he was really charming. She could feel her resentment for him leaving at that moment. She snatched the cards from his big hands. She shouldn’t have told him the story about her father bringing her post cards from all the places he went for business, but since he remembered, and that was so sweet, she let go of her anger toward him.
    He smiled, he could see in her eyes he had been forgiven. He bent down and kissed her cheek. “I’m sorry, forgive me.”
    Carter raised an eyebrow. “Are you asking me to forgive you, or are you telling me to forgive you?”
    Kyle smirked. “Telling, of course.”
    Carter laughed. “Fine, you’re forgiven, but don’t do it again or I’ll kick your ass Kyle,” she said pointing her finger at him.
    A mischievous smile appeared on his handsome face and he started to move closer to her, “Mmm, still as sassy as ever. Have you rethought the limits of our friendship yet?”
    Carter stopped him from moving forward by placing her had on his chest. She felt his hard muscles through his shirt, but that didn’t change her mind. She chuckled, she couldn’t believe after all this time he was still trying to get in her pants. “No, I haven’t.”
    He groaned in frustration, and in one swift move grabbed her by her shoulders and turned her away from him. He bent over and wrapped his arms around her waist, lifting her feet from the ground. Standing up straight, he buried his face in her neck, and growled. Carter giggled and squealed in his arms. She was ticklish on her neck and he knew that.
    “Fine,” he said walking toward the bar, “since you won’t give me what I really have a taste for, I guess I’ll settle for a burger, fries, and a beer.” He let her feet hit the floor and she turned to him with a big smile on her face.
    “Sounds good,” she said through a laugh. “Go to our table. I’ll take my break and eat with you.” Kyle smiled and nodded at her as he made his way to the table where he and Carter always ate lunch together.
    Once her attention was back on her surroundings, she noticed the other waitresses that watched her and Kyle’s exchange were staring at her, some with smiles, and some with jealousy. The women giving the looks of jealousy were some of Kyle’s past victims. Carter sighed and walked toward the kitchen to get her the  food. She had almost made it to the kitchen when Tessa, a multiple time victim of Kyle’s charms, caught her by the arm before she walked through the door.
    Carter had seen her coming, and she knew that the bitch would grab her arm, but she decided to hold back her natural reflex, which was to punch the offender in the throat —very hard. Tessa’s grip on Carter’s arm began to tighten, and it was really starting to piss Carter off. Tessa was taller and bigger than Carter, nearly all the girls were. Carter was only 5’4.5”, and giant hoes like Tessa always thought they could intimidate her or kick her ass. Tessa was very close to finding out why that assumption was a huge mistake.
    Reigning in her temper, Carter pasted on her fakest smile. “Can I do something for you, Tessa?” she asked while she looked at
