The guys and their wives left after dinner. The only one of the women that could drink was Irian because she was home and didn't have to go anywhere. The other women had to drive because their husbands had been drinking.
Irian plopped down on the couch next to David. "Please don't subject me to that again. I'm really tired after all that."
He unconsciously wrapped his arm around her shoulders. "Not a problem. I don't want to go through that again either. I've just gotten my balls thoroughly busted."
She kisses his cheek. "David, I have a confession to make."
Oh, shit, he thought, but he remained outwardly calm. "Ok, what is it?"
She took a deep breath and let it out slowly. "After talking to the guy's wives today, I discovered something, and it scares the hell out of me, but, I'm still gonna say it." She took another deep breath. He was on pins and needles, but he kept silent, letting her say what she had to say. "David, I think I'm in love with you."
He froze. Did she just say what he thought she just said? No, surely it was his mind playing tricks on him. "Did you just say you think you're in love with me?"
She nodded. "You seem surprised."
"A little taken aback is more what I'm feeling. I thought I was going to have to be the one to say it first."
"Well, you didn't and I NEVER say it first. You're really special."
He laughed. "Wow." He took a deep breath himself. "Well, I AM in love with you, Irian. I probably shouldn't be, but I am."
She smiled. "A forbidden romance. How Danielle Steele.”
