Chapter Twenty-Seven Lexi stepped out of the bathroom, hair dripping wet and a towel wrapped around her curves. She stopped when she saw me. “How long was I in there?” While Lexi had been in the shower, I’d dried and curled my hair, applied my makeup, and slipped into a lacy tank top tucked into a black Calvin Klein mini. I did a little spin for her. “You look hot,” she added. “Thanks.” I pushed some stacked bangles onto one arm then bent over to do up my shoes. “Who are you looking so hot for?” I straightened. “You know, I think I’ll go see if Mari and Lacey are ready yet.” “Uh-huh.” Lexi looked smug. “That’s what I thought.” “Bye!” I shouted and shut the door behind me. Like Lexi, Mari and Lacey weren’t even close to ready. Eric and Charlie hadn’t returned from the casino yet.
