Whatever Your Heart Desires Part 5

I didn't understand that at all. Danni and Celine were obviously close. I wasn't able to resist Danni's charms and Lexi hadn't been able to, either. The entire subject of Celine seemed to be one Lexi wanted to avoid at the moment, so I just chalked it up to Celine not being into T-girls as Lexi and I were, and let it go.

Lexi reiterated Danni had something big going on, something other than a personal relationship, but she was being very close-mouthed about it. The gorgeous T-girl was still mine, my friend asserted. It was just going to take some time for the hurt to heal, and for Danni to get her head straight and finish what she had to do. She really wanted me back, Lexi avowed. My heart was pounding. I felt dizzy.

"I want her back, too. More than anything."

It was time for us to get back to our respective jobs. We arose from the table, walked out to the sidewalk, and hugged. My friend scrutinized me carefully.

"Are we OK?" she questioned.

"More than ever," I responded as I hugged her again.

"Prove it," she challenged.

"How?"

Lexi winked.

"Gotham. Saturday night, for your birthday. You and me. Stop by the salon before closing. We'll do dinner, then go out – just the two of us."

"It's a date," I replied enthusiastically.
