“You’re all the time complaining you’re too quick. Effectively, in these four-inch stunners”—she drops her eyes to my toes, forcing me to do the identical—“you possibly can cease site visitors.”

“Effectively, I can’t say I dislike the brand new peak. All proper, you win on that one, however I nonetheless can’t imagine I allowed you to coerced me into shopping for outrageous underwear nobody will see however me.”

“The night time continues to be younger,” she says suggestively. “I guess tomorrow you’ll thank me. Don’t neglect we’re going climbing early… simply in case you determine to spend the night time at his place.” As if.

“Jess, I didn’t come right here to discover a man to sleep with,” I protest. “I’m right here to have enjoyable.”

“The 2 aren’t mutually unique.” Possibly for one more woman, however not me. “You appear to be a classy seductress on this knockout design. You’re the overall bundle, Miranda, and you’ll have anybody you need. Have a one-night stand. Reside a bit.”

“Usually I’d cringe being in a room full of so many drop-dead attractive, tall, model-like girls, however I don’t know, for some cause on this gown I’m pumped with the kind of confidence I by no means thought I had. That stated, I doubt I’m audacious sufficient simply to randomly decide a man and… you realize.” My voice trails off.

“Tonight is about you understanding your intercourse attraction, which you’ve gotten by the truckload. Recognize the true impact you’ve gotten on males, darling. You will have been too shy to acknowledge it, however guys have been consuming you up all night time lengthy. You radiate.

Hold it gentle and for God’s sake, flirt.”

I swallow exhausting. “Jess, you realize completely properly I suck at flirting.”

Jessica takes a step nearer and folds on the knees to fulfill my eyes. Although I’m carrying skyscraper heels, she’s nonetheless far taller than I’ll ever be. “With that killer physique it’s essential flaunt what your mama gave you with none self-consciousness. Males will drop to your toes after they take one glimpse of you on this showstopper. I can assure that flirting will come naturally when you discover how they react to you.”

“You actually suppose I can pull this off?”

“I do know you’ll be able to.” Her confidence in my capacity to succeed at that is larger than mine. “I’m telling you, you’re means too attractive for that gown. Now go get ’em, you man-eater.”

We each snicker.
