fine,” Joy and Kristen unanimously replied.
    “Oh, you ladies are more than fine,” Damian said, joking again.
    Cameron laughed and waved her hand at him as she turned to walk away again. “I swear, you never stop.”
    “You wouldn’t love me if I did baby.”
    “Can I use your bathroom?” Ms. Austin asked her. “I need to pee really bad.”
    Joy and Kristen frowned and cringed at Ms. Austin’s bad use of words. The woman could be as classy as she wanted to be and five minutes later be as hood as Lil Wayne.
    Cameron looked at her strangely then turned to walk towards the house again. “Sure. Follow me.”
    “Hold up,” Ms. Austin said, putting up her finger. She turned back to Joy and Kristen. “You girls going to be okay while I go inside for a minute?”
    “Of course,” Kristen assured her.
    “More than alright with you out of my face,” Joy said.
    Ms. Austin squared her shoulders as if she was going to respond; then, having figured she’d embarrassed herself and her daughter enough, waved her hand at Joy dismissively and followed Cameron up the long pathway to the house.
    Joy sighed with relief and turned her attention back to the Foster boys. “Now, where were we?” They grinned and leaned in to her like wolves closing in on their prey.
    “Are things always like that between you and your mom?” Alex uneasily asked.
    “Of course not,” Joy playfully said, tossing her hair. “We love each-other dearly. Don’t we Kristen?”
    “Uh-huh. Yeah. Sure.”
    “Tell you what,” Nick began as he walked over to Kristen. “Why don’t you guys hang out with us for a while until we see what’s going on with Roman. I mean, Joy, you go with the bros, and Kristen can come with me.”
    “What about us?” Diego asked, going and standing on the other side of Kristen.
    “Yeah, what about us?” Alex stood in front of Kristen.
    She felt trapped but in a good way. At least, she thought it was good. She was probably walking eyes wide open into the pits of hell and didn’t even know it. Where the hell was Roman?
    “Personally I’m not thinking about neither one of you guys,” was Nick’s snide response. He looked over at Kristen and smiled, blushing slightly.
    Kristen tried not to be swept away by his magnetic blue eyes but it was hard. She nearly jumped out of her skin as Diego took her hand and held it tight. Tingles shot through her from all angles at the alluring but innocent touch. She looked up at him with heavy eyes and was shell-shocked by the expression in his. Hunger. Pure hunger. But not in a way that was dangerous or threatening. She felt herself being pulled in spite of herself. Their eyes held one another for longer than was polite.
    Tearing her eyes away from his, she looked over at Joy for help and reassurance but Joy was caught in a silent tug of war between the two Foster brothers. She noted the lust in their hazel eyes as they eyed her pretty, shapely friend. Her view was soon blocked by Alex walking forward and standing almost nose to nose with her.
    “Mind if Diego and I tag along with you and Nick Kristen?”
    “Yes, as a matter of fact we do mind,” Nick cut in.
    “I wasn’t asking you.”
    “Um…” Kristen shakily began, pulling her hand away from Diego’s and scurrying away from Nick. “Will you guys excuse me for a moment?”
    She fast-walked over to Joy, grabbed her hand, and tugged her towards the SUV.
    “What are you doing?” Joy irritably asked her. “Can’t you see I was enjoying myself?” Joy stopped, her face mired with concern as she eyed Kristen. “What’s wrong? You okay?”
    Kristen was practically trembling. “No. No I’m not. I’m not comfortable with all this.”
    “What’s the matter?”
    “Where the fuck is Roman?”
    “I don’t know. You heard the conversation like I did and you heard what Damian said. The man is obviously having a bad day and going through some issues. I’m sure he’ll be back later.”
    “I need him to come back now.
