Excerpt<\/h3>\n

Her hands rest on her hips, the navy-blue Grecian-style dress draped down the length of her body, a small slit on the side that barely reaches her knee. \u201cYou\u2019re really fixated on this, aren\u2019t you?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNah, didn\u2019t care too much. A homemade dinner would have been nice, though.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI can\u2019t cook.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cNeither can I,\u201d I answer honestly. I either eat out, or I make myself scrambled eggs, and that\u2019s about it. Rory taught me how to make meatballs once but hell if I can remember how to do that. All I know is that I enjoyed crushing the beef between my fingers. I get by with limited knowledge in the kitchen.<\/p>\n

She chuckles. \u201cWell, aren\u2019t we a pair?\u201d She turns to watch Stryder and Rory together. Apparently not giving a shit about the even bigger elephant in the room, Ryan asks, \u201cIs this weird for you?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI have a flask in my jacket pocket, so you tell me.\u201d<\/p>\n

She lifts her bouquet and pulls out a mini bottle of alcohol. She wiggles her eyebrows at me. \u201cThought maybe we\u2019d both need this since we have to sit through having all these pictures taken with them.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cSmirnoff? That\u2019s what you brought with you?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was all I had. Don\u2019t judge me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m judging.\u201d<\/p>\n

Playfully she whacks my arm. \u201cYou shouldn\u2019t be judging me. It was innovative. I carved out a little space in my bouquet for this bottle. If anything, you should congratulate me on this genius idea.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cWas it your idea?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean\u201d\u2014she toes the ground\u2014\u201cI might have seen the idea on Pinterest along with a recipe for beer cookies that tasted like vomit.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBeer cookies?\u201d I shake my head and take the little bottle from her. Twist the cap, tilt the bottle back, and swig. I hand it back to her, leaving half the bottle. \u201cEven I know better than to think beer cookies would taste good.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThey were for a boyfriend I was trying to impress.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cImpress or poison?\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cImpress.\u201d She laughs. \u201cAlthough after our breakup, I should probably say poison. Teach all future suitors: if you mess with me, you get poisoned.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019d keep me away, that\u2019s for damn sure.\u201d<\/p>\n

She finishes the rest of the little bottle and returns it to her bouquet. She pats it and says, \u201cI can recycle it later.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cGet drunk and save the earth. Sounds like a good combination to me.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cRyan and Colby, can we get you over here for a few pictures?\u201d the photographer calls out.<\/p>\n

\u201cThat\u2019s our cue.\u201d Ryan pokes my cheek with her index finger, looking sincerely at me. \u201cDon\u2019t forget to smile, because these pictures will last forever.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cScowling not in the job description of best man?\u201d<\/p>\n

As we walk over, she says, \u201cI would normally say no, but given the bride is your ex-girlfriend, one scowl is allowed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cOne scowl? Damn, better make it a good one.\u201d<\/p>\n

Born in New York and raised in Southern California, Meghan has grown into a sassy, peanut butter eating, blonde haired swearing, animal hoarding lady. She is known to bust out and dance if \u201cIt\u2019s Raining Men\u201d starts beating through the air and heaven forbid you get a margarita in her, protect your legs because they may be humped.<\/p>\n

Once she started commuting for an hour and twenty minutes every day to work for three years, she began to have conversations play in her head, real life, deep male voices and dainty lady coos kind of conversations. Perturbed and confused, she decided to either see a therapist about the hot and steamy voices running through her head or start writing them down. She decided to go with the cheaper option and started writing\u2026 enter her first novel, Caught Looking.<\/p>\n

Now you can find the spicy, most definitely on the border of lunacy, kind of crazy lady residing in Colorado with the love of her life and her five, furry four legged children, hiking a trail or hiding behind shelves at grocery stores, wondering what kind of lube the nervous stranger will bring home to his wife. Oh and she loves a good boob squeeze!<\/p>\n
