“Yeah. That’s a small issue.”
“Small issue?”
She rolled her eyes. “You ever hear of phones? The internet? Any of those ring a bell? You don’t have to live in the same city as someone to be their friend.”
He gritted his teeth. “I know that. But she seems like a busy woman. And I’m sure she has lots of friends. Just leave her alone.”
Kiesha narrowed her gaze at him. “You say that like you consider me to be a nuisance.”
Alarm filled him. “No, of course I don’t! You’re far from a nuisance.”
She pointed a finger at him. “I’ll have you know that I’m a very good friend.”
“I’m sure you are. It’s just, she doesn’t seem your type, does she?”
Kiesha snorted. “I’m not asking her to date me. Not that she’s not cute or anything. I just like dick.”
He groaned. “Kiesha, you can’t say dick.”
“Why not? It’s just part of the male anatomy. Like vagina. And breasts. Are you saying I can’t say vagina and breasts?”
Why? Why him? He closed his eyes, breathing in and out slowly.
“Yes, I’m saying you can’t say vagina, breasts, or dick while you’re here.”
“So, uhh, this seems like a conversation I don’t want to interrupt.”
Ed opened his eyes, staring over at the doorway to his office where Jace, one of his deputies, stood. He took a step back. Ed widened his eyes, staring at him pleadingly to stay. But Jace just shook his head and ducked away.
Coward.
“Just please remember that you’re at work.”
“But what if a prisoner comes in, breaks out of his handcuffs, and punches me right in the boob? Can’t I tell you that my breast hurt then?”
“Fine, if a prisoner breaks out of his handcuffs, somehow. Then punches you in the breast, for some reason, then you can say that your breast hurt.”
She looked weirdly happy about that. Really. How did this become his life?
“Anyway, back to FBI lady, you got me off track, talking about breasts and dicks . . . “
He groaned.
“What is it? Why are you making that noise? Do you have a headache?”
“Yes, I have a headache.”
“I’ll make you coffee. That will help.”
“It won’t. It really won’t.”
“Fine. Suit yourself. But don’t say I never offer to make you coffee. Now, back to FBI lady, I’m going to be her new friend, it’s been decided. I’m going to teach her how to live a little.” She clapped her hands. “This is going to be so much fun.”
Shit.
