Chapter 91
Lorita snickered at Geneva’s comment. “What would you do?”
“Well for one, I would do the yoga I was doing this morning on his balcony away from where he was, right in front of his face. I didn’t get this toned body by not being extremely flexible. I’d show the bastard how I can touch my toes to the back of my head like a ballerina can.”
The girls were all giggling now,
“Show us!” Alcee begged as the wine started to flow through her veins. For too many years, the need to be the responsible person, the one who held down the fort, kept her from overindulging in anything. She usually only imbibed a single glass of wine at once, two at the most. Tonight, Torq was on daddy duty, and he was going to need to suck it up. He wanted to be a parent, he could deal with Antero if he woke up and she was going to get to simply be a girl, a friend, a woman, and she was going to enjoy it.
Genevra shrugged and kicked her shoes off across the floor. She lay on her belly and with practiced ease, touched her toes to the back of her head and held the position while the girls counted to ten

“Oh, you need to do that in front of him!” Susana was bouncing excitedly. “The best I can do is the splits from when I was a
“Don’t let Jesus see you doing the splits.” Amal teased her.
“As if doing the splits is sexy. I can only do a front split, I can’t do the side split.”
“Show us!” Alcee pushed her to do it as she was pulling the reclining theatre chairs backwards with the help of Lorita to make room for their antics. “Damn, these are heavy.”
“They really are,” Lorita complained.
All the women joined in to push the chairs as far back as they could go.

They roared with laughter. “What can you do Lorita, besides hacking heads of chickens?”
“Promise not to tell Mama or Torq?” Lorita made wide eyes around the group.
“Yes.” They all agreed.
“Chicks before dicks!” Susana declared loudly from where she rolled on the floor to get out of her position.
“I can do the full choreography to WAP.*
The girls stood staring at her in shocked silence.
Alcee was dumbfounded. “I’m sorry. Say that again?”
“I learned all the moves to WAP. The choreography that was in all the Tik Tok challenges.”
“Do you know how flexible you need to be to do that?” Genevra was squealing with delight. “Can you do the thing where you bounce up off the floor from the split thing?”
“Uh–huh. I learned the entire routine in the hopes I could show it to my boyfriend. Then he cheated on me, beat me up and got a bullet in the

“You need to teach us this.” Alcee said suddenly.
“You want to learn how to do this dance?”
“Yes!” Alcee nodded vigorously.

“I got you.” Alcee said as she recalled the stash of chocolate in Torq’s bedside table. “Cover me. I’m going in.”
The girls were laughing as Amal started humming the Mission Impossible theme song and they watched out the door of the theatre for Alcee to skitter down the hall in the direction of the bedroom she shared with Torq.
Alcee slid into the room on her socks, giggling like a fool and dug into the bedside table and grabbed the expensive chocolates Torq kept stashed there. She grinned when she also found a box of milk duds and a bag of skittles. Paydirt.
“What are you doing?”
She turned around slowly to see Torq watching her raid his candy drawer with one eyebrow lifted high in his forehead.
“Nothing.” She shoved the candy behind her back.
“Alcee. Are you stealing my candy?”
