stuck out her tongue, and then turned her
attention back to me, rolling her eyes. Jack grinned and went back into the
office.
    “Sorry Abs, I was just trying to get settled in before I
called you,” I said with a shrug. She frowned. We walked over to the desk and
away from prying eyes and ears. She leaned against the desk and a look of
determination crossed her pretty face.
    “Want me to kick that bastard’s ass and cut off his
balls?” she asked, a little too loud for my liking. One of the guys that had
been ogling her turned pale and choked out a cough. She snickered and
shook her head.
    “She told you huh?” I asked. She nodded.
    “There is not too much that does not get talked about in
this town, you know that. Hell I think the post mistress knows what position I
tried out in the Kama Sutra last night. I am just surprised your uncle did not
haul ass to Philly and castrate him,” she remarked.
    “He was threatened death by Aunt Almeida if he did. You
know how she can get when she is pregnant. He did say something about going to
New Orleans and a voodoo curse though,” I replied with a laugh.
    “I could go kick his ass, your aunt doesn’t scare me,”
she said smiling and putting her arm around me.
    “It’s okay. Karma is a bitch. Besides I don’t want you to
end up in jail. You would not make it in prison without product,” I said with a
shrug. She studied my face to see if I was really as okay as I said I was.
Satisfied, she nodded.
    “Bleu, we need to go shopping,” she said after a moment,
clapping her hands in finality. I laughed. I should have known that this was
coming. I was just surprised she had waited this long to say anything.
    “Really? You are here five minutes and you are already
picking at me? I will have you know that I happened to just grab this and went
out the door,” I replied, pointing to my well-worn cut off jean shorts and NIN
t shirt. 
    “First of all, everyone can tell that you just grabbed
that before walking out the door. You did not have to broadcast it. Secondly,
you could never lie to me, even on your best day. No arguments. Besides, retail
therapy is better than drowning your sorrows in a bottle like a homeless whino.
I am giving you a week and then we are going to do some major retail therapy.
Just because you are the new shop mom at Insatiable does not mean you have to
dress like a down on your luck hooker,” she proclaimed. I snorted.  There
was no point in arguing with her, there never had been. Besides, she had said
no arguments. She picked up her bag and went into the back room. Probably to
talk to my brother. They were as tight as she and I were. We had all grown up
together. We had all been glued to one another since first grade, after she
beat the crap out of my brother for looking up her dress. I am surprised she
didn’t end up with him, but her response was she wasn’t into white guys and we
all left it at that.
    “She is hot! Do you think you could give me her number?”
asked one of the guys sitting in the waiting room. He looked like a Neo Nazi
skin head, but I knew Abby was taken. She had been married for three years to
the most incredible man, who was a high school gym teacher. His name was Lamar.
    “Sorry buddy. She’s married and her husband is scary,” I
replied, answering the ringing phone behind me. He shrugged and went back to
his battered magazine.
     
    At ten that night, I left to go get
some dinner. The shop usually closed at eight, but tonight Axel and Matt had
appointments. Abby had left, not looking too happy after talking to Axel, and I
figured she had met up with his little friend.   I would have to ask her about that snotty little bitch when we got
together. Blowjob Barbie had left right after Abby did, and the ebb and flow of
the shop was steady. Seeing as how I have nothing better to do, I volunteered
to stay back and help them out. Hence the dinner runs for the shop. I walked
down the street to the deli and I looked around the
