wasn’t going to ignore the signs.

Five
    The twins were huddled in the kitchen talking with their heads bent close together. The dinner had gone spectacularly. Lily wondered how she could have ever thought either of them was a jerk or boring. Both of the twins were total gentlemen and so easy to talk to. She had really gotten them wrong. It was like someone had flipped a switch, and now she could see them clearly in the light. Or was it something else?
    She had been thinking about how to get them in bed all evening. She’d never been with two men before, but for the twins, she was willing to give it a try. It might even be really fun. The thought of being filled completely made her cross her legs and lick her lips. The sudden change of heart still worried her. What if it wasn’t lust but fate conspiring against her instead? It had been the same way when Addison realized Chet was her true love.
    Her phone buzzed. She saw it was Addison and walked to the front yard. “Hey, what’s up?”
    “Hilda quit?” Addison sounded elated.
    “She did. Wow, I thought you’d be freaked out now that Gummy is working it alone.”
    “Normally I would be. I mean, he told me Max Nunez was his new assistant. That’s terrible. But Hilda is gone. It’s time to celebrate!”
    “She was such a terrible assistant.”
    “And mean. She was the reason Gummy and I had so many disagreements. I am so glad he fired her. Lily, you are a godsend. Everything is all taken care of, and you’ve only been here for a few days.”
    “I know. What would you do without me?”
    “I don’t know. Now, if you can fix the Nunez twin problem, I would love you forever.”
    “What problem? They seem fine.”
    “I told you, they’ve been at each other’s throats this whole time. Or at least Finn wants to kill Max. Chet said Finn was talking about moving in with Branch at one point.”
    Lily was sure she was hearing things. She looked in the kitchen window at Max and Finn doing the dishes together. “No way. I talked with Max. He didn’t mention anything about a fight with Finn.”
    “Well, it’s been happening. It’s incredibly awkward to be around the two of them at the same time. I think poor Max is oblivious to the whole thing. I know he isn’t the brightest crayon in the box, but he’s a sweet guy.”
    “I know. He was great with helping me pick a dress. I don’t think they’re fighting though. I’m with them and they seem fine.”
    “Yeah? Either they’re o their best behavior or you are a miracle worker. If you can fix that we’ll be all set.”
    “You can call me Helen Keller then because whatever beef they had is squashed.”
    Addison laughed. “I’ll believe it when I see it. Gummy told me your dress is drop dead gorgeous. I can’t wait to see it tomorrow.”
    “Me either. I gotta go. Night, girl.”
    “Night. Thanks for everything again.”
    As Lily hung up, she got another call immediately. It was Mr. Angelsen again, and she was in too a good mood for his BS again. She picked up and he started yelling right away, but she cut him off. “You know what? Save your breath. I quit. You’re an ass, and I don’t want to work for you anymore.”
    “What? You can’t quit. I’m firing you.” She could imagine the shades of red his face was turning as he raged.
    “Great. Now I can collect unemployment while I call all your clients and let them know what a screw-up you are. Seriously, the mistakes you made with these accounts are astronomical.”
    “You are so unprofessional.”
    “Great. Have a nice life.”
    Lily hung up the phone and pumped her fist in the air. She did need the job, but she was in too good a mood to worry about it now. She would figure it out. She had padded her savings in preparation for paying off one of her loans, and the loan could wait while she searched for a new job. Finn was right; the stress wasn’t worth it. It was a split-second decision, but it was the right one.
    She stepped back into the house.
