I’ve been shopping and I think you’re gonna love chewing off the edible underwear I picked out for our night together,” I whisper and quietly giggle when I hear him groan into the phone just as a whistle blares in the background. I didn’t actually buy edible underwear; it’s just fun to tease him. However, I do think he’ll enjoy stripping the new bra and pantie set I bought off of me.
    “Shit, I gotta run, Babe! I love you!”
    “I love you too! One more day!”
    “Yep! One more day!”

    *****

    A couple hours later and with my graduation dress in a garment bag draped over her arm; my grandma heads home and I go to meet a friend for lunch and a movie. We’ve just finished throwing our trash away in the food court and are entering the theater when Destiny elbows me in the ribs.
    “Hey, I’ll give you twenty bucks if you go grab his ass,” she dares me, staring at a guy who judging from the little bit of drool forming in the corner of her mouth, has to be Cole.
    She’s always staring at Cole and drooling. Actually, a lot of girls stare and drool over Cole. He’s bending over to put a clean garbage bag in one of the trashcans by the concession stand, his black, Dickies pants slipping down and both his un-tucked work tuxedo shirt and ribbed tank undershirt riding up just far enough for us to see a dark tan line above the waistband of his boxers. I swallow my laughter at recognizing a couple of Batman graphics on the fabric covering the elastic.  
    “I’m not grabbing his butt or anything else of his! I have Holden, remember ?”
    “Mm-mm-mm,” she shakes her head and licks her lips like she’s looking at dinner, “Yeah, I know, but you have to admit it, that guy has one fine ass…for a white boy.”
    I shrug, deciding to not waste my breath informing her yet again that she happens to be white too. Ever since she was channel surfing one day and caught a re-run of the episode of Days of Our Lives where Nathan Owens does a strip tease, she’s been in this “once you go black, you never go back” phase. That’s her phrasing by the way, not mine. Shaking my head at her, I look at Cole again just as he stands up and turns around to catch us watching him. I roll my eyes when he winks and shoots me a cocky grin before heading our way.  
    “It’s okay, go ahead and stare, I know you want me. But good grief, sugar, your appetite is insatiable,” he teases and gives his watch a cursory glance, “I mean it’s only been what? Four hours since we got it on in my car?”
    “You’re a pig, Cole…an impossible menace to society and I have better taste than that,” I tell him and then feel Destiny gently nudge the back of my elbow.
    “Hi, Cole,” Destiny greets him with a flirtatious smile.
    “Oh, you remember Destiny from school, right?”
    “Yeah, of course I do,” he grins back at her, the liar. One look at his overly amused expression and I know he doesn’t have a clue as to who she is. “You, uh, have a little something right …” Cole tells her and gestures with his finger to the visible drop of glistening saliva that’s traveled down a short distance from the corner of her mouth.
    Rather than blushing or being mortified, Destiny raises one eyebrow and runs her tongue along her bottom lip. She tries to make it look sexy or inviting, but she pretty much just looks like a little kid trying to get all the ice cream off her face after making a mess of eating it. Cole’s lips just barely quirk and I inwardly roll my eyes.
    “So what are you guys seeing?” he asks, moving to stand right next to Destiny in order to look at the flashing NOW PLAYING marquee with us, or to fluster her even more. You never know with Cole.
    “We haven’t decided yet,” I answer and frown at his profile for a quick moment, “Hey, Cole? You wanna come with me to pick Holden up from the airport tomorrow?”
    “What time?”  
    “His flight lands at 6:43 in the morning. I know he’d really love to see
