“We’re just talking about how Cynthia always gets what shewants.” Margo smiled and introduced herself to my friends, and Cynthia did the same.

“So this is the famous Cynthia. Nice to meet you.” Miles shook her hand.

“Famous?” Her brows went up.

“Oh, yeah. Man, if you knew how much he talked about you when you were just his roommate. Not to mention now that you’re together.” Miles shook his head, and I reddened. Cynthia turned to me, her eyes glinting.

“Care to explain?” She stepped in to me and smiled, open and bright.

“I was obsessed with you. Even before I realized it myself.”

“Good. That’s how I prefer it.” She kissed me and turned back to her conversation.

For a second I was frozen, wondering how this could be my life. I was watching my beautiful girlfriend chat with my friends, and then glance back at me, a secret smile on her face, those brown eyes lit with intelligence, humor, loyalty.All for me.

When had I gotten so lucky?
