Chapter 1631


    ric slung his arm around the burly guy''s shoulder, his voice dropping to a delicate whisper, "Hey, these twodies are like sisters to me, we''re super tight. Why don''t you hit them up on WhatsApp? Better yet, add me first. I''ve got a thing for rugged, masculine guys like you. Plus, I''m really into spicing things up in the bedroom, if you know what I mean. Add me, and I''ll make sure they add you..."


    ric, with his devilishly charming looks and a body that could easily make both men and women do a double-take, was dressed in a pink shirt that only amplified his allure. His physique was lean and more stunning than that of most women. The way he modted his voice was a performance in itself, perfectly capturing the essence of mboyance.


    Watching ric''s antics and hearing his words left Hertha in utter shock, her eyes wide and mouth agape, nearly choking on her own spit.


    "Holy smokes, does ric even realize what he''s saying?"


    "When he gets all dolled up like that, no woman stands a chance. Who can rte?"


    Hertha''s heart was racing, nearly leaping out of her throat. Thssa was equally stunned, witnessing a side of ric they were totally unprepared for.


    The burly guy, realizing ric was a man, nched, taking several steps back, "Bro, uh, I mean, sis, let''s keep it normal, yeah? You and your ''sisters'' enjoy your drinks. I''ll head back to my table."


    With that, the burly guy beat a hasty retreat, wiping the sweat off his forehead. He was a straight shooter, through and through. The idea of being hit on by another man was too much for him.


    "Too close a call," he thought, shaken.


    Once the burly guy was gone, ric''s facade dropped, and he turned to Thssa and Hertha, "Still drinking?"


    Clearly upset, ric''s mood shift didn''t go unnoticed by Hertha and Thssa, who were also rattled by the earlier encounter. Standing up, Thssa dered, "No more drinks, let''s head home."


    Hertha quickly gathered her things, nodding in agreement, "Yeah, no more, let''s go home."


    ric shot them a look and started walking towards his car, with Hertha and Thssa following sheepishly. They had all been drinking and couldn''t drive, leaving ric to take them home.

    In the car, ric finally addressed the elephant in the room, "Hertha, what were you imagining about me back there?"


    It had to be Hertha''s doing; the burly


    guy''sments were too on the


    nose. Hertha knew all too well the


    extent of


    r own bluntness; there


    was nothing she wouldn''t say. Flushing with embarrassment, she realized admitting to it would expose her feelings for ric. And her pride wouldn''t allow it.


    Defiantly, she retorted, "Don''t tter yourself. I wasn''t imagining anything about you."


    "Bound to the bed, at your beck and call, fulfilling your fantasies. You think someone would make that up?" ric fumed.


    Caught out, Hertha knew she''d been too loud, letting private musings be public knowledge.


    "I was talking about someone else. Don''t you know I''ve got a new crush?" she blurted out.N?velDrama.Org owns all ? content.
