Book:My Perfect Mess Published:2024-5-1

Sammy ~”Becca! Becca come down here!”
Oh my god what is she on about so early in the morning. It’s Eric’s fault, since she has been seeing him, she has got way too much energy.
Becca ~”Sammy this better be good!”
Sammy ~”Look what has come for you. It is so adorable.”
Becca ~”It is quite adorable.”
Sammy ~”I wonder whom they came from? Who do you think sent them to you pumpkin?”
Becca ~”Shut up Sammy.”
Sammy ~”Look there is a card.”
Becca ~”I take it you have already read it.”
Sammy ~”No I have not.”
Becca ~”Sammy for a brunette you surely act like a blonde.”
I open the card and read what is written inside.
Josh ~”From potato head to pumpkin. Good luck with taking over the sails. I know you will do good. Love Josh. PS… Give Invesicure a try.”
I close the card and look at Eric.
Becca ~”Eric how does Josh know I call him potato head?”
Eric ~”It must have slipped my mouth.”
Becca ~”If Sammy did not like you so much I would have kicked your ass.”
Eric ~”So it is you that he broke up with last week!”
Becca ~”Yes lucky me.”
Sammy ~”What you going to do? You going to text him?”
Becca ~”No.”
Sammy ~”Phone him?”
Becca ~”No.”
Sammy ~”You going to talk to him at the club?”
Becca ~”No.”
Sammy ~”You rude.”
Becca ~”I know.”
Sammy ~”You a bitch.”
Becca ~”I know.”
The truth is I must thank him, I just don’t know how.
I am going to phone him. I dial his number, it hardly rings twice.
Josh ~”Becca.”
Becca ~”Hi Josh.”
Josh ~”You okay?”
Becca ~”Yes just want to thank you for the flowers. They are adorable.”
Josh ~”Glad you like them. How you doing?”
Becca ~”I am well. You?”
Josh ~”I am well too. What’s this thing with Sammy and Eric?”
Becca ~”She says it’s only for the sex.”
Josh ~”What do you think?”
Becca ~”I think she has an itch that needs some scratching.”
Josh ~”And you?”
Becca ~”I don’t think it’s any of your business.”
Josh ~”Ouch, I guess I deserved that.”
Becca ~”I must go. I have a shift at Spangles.”
Josh ~”Why you still doing that?”
Becca ~”Doing what?”
Josh ~”Working there.”
Becca ~”I don’t know.”
Josh ~”Please stop.”
Becca ~”Please stop what?”
Josh ~”Working there.”
Becca ~”Don’t tell me what to do.”
Josh ~”I care about you.”
Becca ~”You should have thought about that before breaking up with me.”
Josh ~”Becca.”
Becca ~”Bye Josh.”
I head back downstairs to Sammy.
Becca ~”Sammy, do you think we should stop working at Spangles?”
Sammy ~”Yes.”
Becca ~”Tonight is our last night then, let’s make it count.”
Sammy ~”Eric you are coming with. Tell potato head he has to give you off.”
Becca ~”Sammy lets go get dressed.”
Sammy whispers something in Eric’s ear before she follows me to my room.
Sammy ~”I think we will look cute in this.”
Eric nearly falls of his chair as we make our way down stairs.
Eric ~”Fuck Josh is an asshole.”
Sammy ~”I agree.”
Half hour later we pull up to Spangles.
Bruno ~”Hi ladies, nice to see you again. I heard you leaving us?”
Becca ~”We will still come, we just won’t be working here.”
We walk up to the bar.
Mike ~”Girls you breaking my heart.”
Sammy ~”You would swear we leaving the planet.”
Becca ~”Just admit that you going to miss our cute asses.”
Mike ~”Get those cute asses out there, the tables aren’t going to wait themselves.”
We head up to VIP as always.
Becca ~”Where is Eric?”
Sammy ~”His here.”
Becca ~”In VIP?”
Sammy ~”Yes.”
Becca ~”Alone?”
Sammy ~”No.”
Becca ~”Who is he with?”
Sammy ~”Don’t know.”
Becca ~”You are lying.”
Sammy ~”No I am not.”
Becca ~”I know your lie face.”
Sammy ~”I know nothing.”
Becca ~”Sammy.”
Sammy ~”Yes Becca.”
Becca ~”Don’t even dare.”
Sammy ~”I have done nothing wrong.”
Becca ~”Not yet.”
We serve a few table, having a couple of rounds when a group over overly sexy men call us up.
Becca ~”Alex!”
Alex ~”Becca, babe.”
Alex pulls me in for a hug and places a kiss firmly on my lips. I forgot how good he tastes. And how fucking hot he is.
Sammy ~”Is this the Alex I told you to stay away from?”
Becca ~”Yes.”
Sammy ~”I take it back. Where have your mamma been hiding you?”
Becca ~”Sammy!”
Sammy ~”What? He’s hot!”
Becca ~”And he is still standing here!”
Alex chuckles and pulls me down on his lap.
Alex ~”You girls want a round of tequilas?”
Becca ~”I see you remember.”
Sammy ~”If I can stare at you then yes.”
Becca ~”Sammy!”
Sammy ~”If you don’t want him then I will take him of your hands.”
Becca ~”Sammy!”
Alex ~”I have missed you around here. The one day I had your body all over me then the next day you were gone.”
Sammy ~”She kind of does that, disappears.”
Becca ~”Shut up Sammy!”
Alex starts running his fingers up my leg. Circling all around my naked skin, he reaches my inner thigh. He slips his hand under my skirt.
Alex ~”For fuck sakes! You still doing that?”
Becca ~”Doing what?”
Alex ~”Not wear panties!”
We sit with Alex for another ten minutes longer, having a couple of shots. His hands and lips all over my hot aching body.
Sammy ~”We must go!”
Alex ~”See you later pumpkin.”
Sammy ~”Oh fuck not another one!”
We walk away to the next booth, it is Eric.
Becca ~”Sammy!”
Sammy ~”Yes?”
Becca ~”You are dead! I knew you were up to something!”
Josh ~”Becca.”
Becca ~”Josh.”
Josh ~”You look a bit flustered.”
Becca ~”I am fine.”
Josh ~”Do you want to sit?”
Becca ~”What do you want?”
Josh ~”Just a drink.”
Becca ~”And I am supposed to believe you.”
Josh ~”I am not going to try anything.”
Becca ~”Where is Eric and Sammy?”
Josh ~”I don’t know.”
Becca ~”You lying.”
Josh ~”I am not.”
Becca ~”You planned this.”
Josh ~”I did not.”
Becca ~”You suck at lying.”
Josh ~”And you being impossible again.”
Becca ~”I enjoy it.”
Josh ~”Enjoy what?”
Becca ~”Being impossible.”
Josh ~”I know what else you enjoy.”
Becca ~”What?”
Josh ~”This.”
Becca ~”What is this?”
Josh pulls me closer to his chest. I can feel his sculpted muscles push through his shirt into my body. He places his soft lips against my bare neck and kisses me gently. When his lips meet mine, he parts them with his tongue. He lets his tongue rub against mine, we intertwine and he sucks gently. His tongue possesses my mouth, he kisses me deeply. His kisses is full of passion and desire, first tender and then rough. He devours me. He is making my body grow with an aching hunger.
Becca ~”Josh. You cannot do that.”
Josh ~”Why not?”
Becca ~”It’s not me that you want.”
Josh ~”It is.”
Becca ~”You confusing me.”
Josh ~”And you confuse me.”
Becca ~”I must go.”
Josh ~”Becca wait!”
Becca ~”Not now Josh.”
Sammy comes back to the table.
Becca ~”Thanks Sammy!”
We head back to the booth where Alex is sitting. This time Alex is quite a bit drunk. Sammy ~ pours a round of JDs and we all throw them back.
I am not in the mood for drunk men.
Becca ~”Sammy let’s go.”
Alex ~”No Becca wait.”
Alex reaches over the table and tries to pull me closer. He makes me stumble, I fall on the floor. He pulls me again, I fall on his lap. He tries to pull me in for a kiss.
Becca ~”Let me go Alex!”
Next thing Josh appears from around the corner. He gently moves me out the way towards where Sammy is standing. His fist connects with Alex’s jaw, Alex crashes to the floor.
Josh ~”Don’t you ever fucking touch her again!”
Josh turns to face me.
Josh ~”Come, please let me take you home.”
