Adrian has a giggling girl on either side of him and he has his arms around both of them. They are finding everything hilarious as they rock from side to side. Abbie is raving on about looking for the father of her children, still infatuated with that Italian stallion we saw fighting here last time, and Bridget is talking it up how some guy at the bar asked her for a quickie. Adrian is laughing out loud at the shenanigans of my crazy friends. I smile as I realize this would be new for him. I take my friends’ sense of humor for granted. They are funny and you don’t have to be friends with them to have fun around them as they make everyone feel comfortable.
The door opens and the blond guy that Josh had the fight with exits with two security guards. Oh shit, my mouth drops open. I know him, he’s the prison warden from my visits in jail—the hot one. He smiles at me and walks past to a short and slutty Barbie on my left. Honestly, doesn’t she own a mirror? My eyes follow him as I try to remember his name. What is it? Japer? J something. He looks like he has a broken nose with two oncoming black eyes. He will be a mess tomorrow. His eyes also stay on me and I know he is trying to think where he has seen me before. Shit. I hope he doesn’t remember me; this looks so unprofessional for me to be here. The door opens again, and Joshua exits, flanked by two security guards and Cameron. He walks over to me and bends to give me a peck on the cheek. I would really like to punch him in the face for putting me through such stress, but I don’t think now is the time or place. He nods at Ben and takes my hand and turns toward the parking lot.
Abbie and Bridget start shuffling on their feet with their hands in fists up to each other, play-fighting. They start to wrestle Adrian into a headlock as he giggles out loud.
“Hey, Natasha,” a voice calls out from behind us. Oh shit, it’s the prison warden guy. We all turn together, and he winks at me.
“Think of me tonight when you’re having sex. It will get you over the line quicker.”

Natasha
My eyes bulge from their sockets. Oh, tell me he did not just say that. Everybody collectively takes a breath and Cameron and Ben quickly grab me and put me behind them. Josh drops his bag. “You really want to die tonight, fucker, don’t you?” He walks over and punches him straight in the face. They grab each other and slam into the wall behind them, and security starts to run from everywhere to separate the two. Adrian and the girls are all in silent shock, as am I.
Cameron turns to Ben. “Get Natasha to the car.”
Ben nods and grabs my arm.
“Let me go.” I yank my arm out of his grip. “Joshua,” I yell. They continue fighting.
”Joshua,” I yell again. He seems to remember I’m here and backs off from the kamikaze who is obviously on a death wish. He shakes his head. The guy is still being held by security. Joshua turns and takes my hand and starts to storm toward the car. Abbie and Bridget and Adrian are practically running to catch up.
“Oohh! Smell that adrenaline. It’s frigging hot,” Abbie slurs. “Your vagina must be on fire, Natasha.” She giggles. “All these hot guys fighting over you.” Everybody bursts out laughing and Cameron laughs but turns and puts his finger up to his lips to signify silence. I turn around as Joshua drags me forward by the hand like a naughty child. I do wide eyes at the girls, signifying for them to shut the hell up.
Bridget nods. “Yes, from now on you will be called Dr. Flaming Vagina.” Everybody bursts out laughing again.
Joshua stops and turns. “Enough,” he yells. Even I am having trouble stifling my giggles and the three stooges drop behind us to laugh out loud at their stupid flaming vagina joke. Cameron wisely stays straight faced and with us.
“How the fuck do you know him, Natasha?” Joshua snaps.
“Um, he’s a prison warden at the jail I visit through work.”
He stops still and Cameron and Ben both turn to see what he’s doing. “You go to the fucking male prison?” I swallow and nod. “You will be handing in your resignation on Monday!” he screams. His order to leave work is like waving a red flag in front of a bull to me, but he is way too mad for me to even think about fighting with him now.
Cameron must sense my agitation and steps in.
“Josh, mate, let’s just get home in one piece, huh.” I am grateful I have Cameron here to calm him down.
