waist. “It’s a pleasure meeting you,” Miles said. “Hmm you are charming aren’t you,” Charlene replied. Miles released his hold on her and stepped back to be introduced to the hostess. He used this as an opportunity to reel himself in. A Hurricane like Charlene can be devastating if you’re not too careful.
    Miles knew a little about Gianna from Bryan. The way he spoke of her was as if she was something special. Bryan was always a relationship guy which is why he wasted so much time with Tracy. Miles didn’t like Tracy for Bryan. Bryan would call Miles and she would be in the back ground fussing about this or that. She seemed very hard to please. To be fair Tracy had her hands full with Bryan. He was a work-a-holic and could lose his own head buried in work. Miles understood it was her way of trying remind him she was there, but still. A man needs to work and needs an understanding partner.
    Miles reached a hand out to Gianna and pulled her in for a hug and she kissed his cheek. “You must be Gianna. Bryan’s best friend. Bryan talks about you all the time so I know we will get along fine. I feel like I already know you.” Gianna blushed and looked over at Bryan. “Good things of course,” Miles said noticing the exchange.
    “Oh! Gianna looked past Miles to Bryan. “Bryan has definitely told me a lot about you. You two used to get into so much trouble together. I’m curious, why did you and Bryan get caught in an all-girls dorm after hours? I have been dying to hear that story”. Gianna linked her arm through Miles’ and led him to his place at the dining room table. Everyone took their places at the table. Miles grinned and said “I’ll tell you my story if you tell me about the time Bryan caught you and old what’s-his-name behind the church.” Gianna’s blush grew a crimson red and a sly smile crossed her face. “Whatever he told you remember there are two sides to a story. Everyone laughed. “Can I get you something to drink, or are you ready to eat?” Gianna went into hostess mode. She and Bryan made plates and poured wine until everyone had eaten. Miles and Charlene were discussing business, Bryan adding his advice here and there. Gianna happy to be able to help with marketing and business advice she threw in for free. Dinner was delicious and the wine was hitting the spot.

    With business done, Gianna went to get the Peach Cobbler and Sweet Potato Pie. She paired it with vanilla bean ice cream. They sat around the table and enjoyed dessert. Bryan and Miles filled the ladies in on their college mischievousness. Charlene joined in with a story of her own. Bryan and Gianna were telling the story of their skinny dipping episode at Lake Tigan.
    “What? I wondered why you guys were wet. I mean everything was wet. Kevin and Tracy were pissed, but you two didn’t seem to notice. Laughing and carrying on I thought Kevin and Bryan were going to fight at one point,” Charlene said.
    “Wait, why would you say that? Kevin was glued to me the whole time after that. I couldn’t seem to shake him to use the bathroom, “Gianna laughed. 
    Bryan glared at Charlene hoping she wouldn’t continue the story. No such luck. Charlene didn’t seem to understand the warning stares.
    “Oh girl I thought you knew. Yeah, Kevin came looking for Bryan. We were in the living room, Mike and I, Devon and Shelly, Sarah and Sean, and Bryan and Tracy. Tracy had gone to the bathroom but she came back and heard the tail end of it. I’m sure of it.”
    Bryan stood up and started clearing the table. Almost everyone was focused on Charlene. Gianna noticed Bryan’s face as he cleared the table but she wanted to hear the rest of the story.  Bryan had left the room and headed toward the kitchen. “Hey I’m going to get the wine so we can the evening games started,” Bryan said as he left.
    Charlene continued. “Kevin came barreling in. He was seething mad. He walked up to Bryan and laid into him. He
