won’t plot a story while I’m relaxing with my friends and family. Writers’ minds never sleep, ladies. We can’t just turn them off.”
“Well, let’s hear it then. Tell us your plot starring tall, dark, and dangerous,” Kasey asked.
“Actually, I didn’t have a specific one in mind for him yet. I’d only built his backstory and personality. But listening to your encounter with the catfish on Plenty of Fish has my imagination running wild right now, Kasey.”
“You want to write a romance novel about a catfish?” Angela asked.
“I was thinking more along the lines of a romantic suspense,” I explained. “You’ve seen the news about the Shallow Grave Killer, right? Well, what if I incorporated that type of killings into an online dating story and have the killer be a catfish.”
“Oh, and Detective Dark and Dangerous can be the hero who saves me from certain death,” Kasey jumped in excitedly.
“Exactly,” I agreed.
“Nicola, if you want to do a contemporary romance, you should think about doing it as a BDSM story,” Angela threw out. “Those seem to be all the rage right now with that movie coming out.”
“I’m not opposed to that, but I don’t know anything about BDSM. Do they have dating websites?”
“You bet they do,” Kasey jumped back in, “I was curious myself and signed up on a site called “Sub Seeking Dom.”
“You were looking for a Dom?” I breathed out.
“A little domination can be hot. I’m surprised you never thought about that considering how alpha-dominant your Highlanders are.”
“If that’s the case,” Kristina jumped in, “you’ll need to set up a fake account so you can talk to Kasey’s catfish, and set up an account on one of those Dom sites so you can learn the lingo.”
“Speaking of a dominant man, you should probably hunt down that delicious piece of male you dumped coffee on for research as well,” Angela threw in. “Don’t you need a cop’s perspective to understand how their minds work, or how they investigate a killer?”
My eyes widened at her suggestion and I started shaking my head in the negative. I’d plotted love scenes with me in the starring role with the man. I’d never be able to look him in the eyes.
“Oh, yeah, she definitely needs a one-on-one with that hunka hunka burnin’ luuuve. Did you see the way he smiled at her?” Janeane laughed.
Knowing full well they wouldn’t let this drop, I laughed with them as if the idea of talking with the man didn’t make me feel ill. “Of all the coffee joints, in all the towns, in all the world, he walks into mine…,” I mumbled to myself.
“What was that?” Janeane laughed.
“Nothing, ignore me. Hey, Kris, you mentioned I needed a fake account to research these guys, and I agree. But won’t I need pictures to set up an account?”
“Yeah, you’re right. I hadn’t thought about that.”
“We need someone leggy, curvy, with a great ass and blonde hair,” Kasey announced.
“Agreed,” we all said in unison.
Leaning back into the couch, I searched my memory for someone who matched the description. Kasey crossed her long slender legs while I scanned my internal photo album, then I looked at Janeane’s boobs, Kristina’s ass, Angela’s eyes and thought about my long flowing hair and pouty lips. If we were to combine the five of us into one woman, she’d be so far beyond a ten most tens would be embarrassed.
“I’ve got it,” I shouted and then lowered my voice when other coffee patrons looked in my direction. “We each have assets that rival any woman. I say we take a picture of those assets and combine them to make one woman.”
“How would we combine them to make one woman?” Kristina asked, confused.
“Maybe not combine, per se, but we upload individual pictures like women do on those sites showing off their figures and that should be all it takes.”
When they didn’t look convinced, I stood up with my purse. ”Just trust me and follow me to my
