Beschwipste Vorsätze
"Auf ein bescheidenes Jahr, das in wenigen Wochen einem viiiel besseren weichen wird."
Melina erhob so schwungvoll ihren Prosecco, dass ein paar Tropfen überschwappten.
"Upsi", sie kicherte und lehnte sich seitlich gegen ihre Mitbewohnerin Lara.
Die gluckste ebenfalls vergnügt und hob statt ihres Glases gleich die restliche Proseccoflasche hoch.
"Auf unser Keksimperium, das einschlagen wird, wie eine Bombe!"
Die Frauen stießen an und tranken. Melina leerte ihr tulpenförmiges Glas in einem Zug und ließ sich mit ihm in der Hand zurück in die Kissen sinken. Ihr Kopf war leicht und es war ihr einen Hauch schwindelig. Sie war eindeutig bereits beschwipst. Kein Wunder, sie, die sonst nie Alkohol trank, hatte gerade hintereinander zwei Gläser quasi gestürzt. Das bemerkte auch Lara.
"Langsam, Cookie, sonst ist der Abend in fünfzehn Minuten vorbei." Die Freundinnen giggelten und kuschelten sich aneinander.
"Die Tradition des Monatsanfangs. Auf den Ersten", bestätigte Melina und bemühte sich, deutlich zu sprechen. Lara goss ihr neu ein und schob einen weiteren Toast nach: "Auf die Freundschaft – wer braucht schon Männer."
Melina erhob ihr Glas, nahm dann übermütig einen großen Schluck und verschluckte sich prompt.
Weil sie die Lippen geschlossen hielt, suchte sich das sprudelnde Getränk den einzigen Ausweg, der ihm blieb – nach oben. Sie hustetet stumm und der Prosecco schoss ihr aus der Nase. Blitzartig setzte sie sich auf, keuchte, suchte hektisch nach den Küchentüchern und tupfte sich und die Kissen der alten Couch ab so gut es ging.
"Shit." Lara stellte die Flasche neben dem Sofa ab und lehnte sich ebenfalls vor. Sie hatte den Arm um Melina gelegt und hielt ihr ihre langen dunklen Haare aus dem Gesicht.
Unwillkürlich musste Melina lachen.
"Geht schon." Sie tauchte wieder auf und stellte ihr noch halb volle Glas auf den kleinen Tisch vor sich.
"Ich hol mir schnell ein frisches Shirt." Sie stand auf, stabilisierte ihr Gleichgewicht und machte sich auf in ihr Zimmer. "Bin gleich wieder da – nicht weggehen."
Sie hörte Laras glockenhelles Lachen hinter sich. Wie immer, wenn ihre Freundin lachte, fühlte sich Melina unwillkürlich an die Fee Tinkerbell aus dem Disneyklassiker Peter Pan erinnert. In ihrem Zimmer war es dunkel und weil sie beim Hereinkommen den Lichtschalter verfehlte, stieß sie zwei Schritte weiter mit dem Fuß gegen ihr Bett.
"Autsch", fluchte sie leise und schaltete die Lichterkette über ihrem Bett an.
Das nasse T-Shirt zog sie aus und warf es mit einem professionellen 3-Punkte-Wurf in ihren offenen Wäschekorb.
"Yes", sagte sie und drehte sich bestens gelaunt um. Im Kleiderschrank waren kaum saubere T-Shirts.
Sie hatte die Wahl zwischen einem ausgeleierten und mehr grauen als schwarzen und einem pinken mit dem Aufdruck einer weißen Schleife. Es war von einem Spendenlauf zugunsten der Brustkrebshilfe, an dem sie vor Jahren teilgenommen hatte, als ihre Mama krank gewesen war.
Irgendwie fühlte sie sich nach ihrem letzten Jahr auch ein wenig wie eine Überlebende, auch wenn selbst sie zugeben musste, dass es nicht ganz so lebensbedrohlich gewesen war. Die unvorhergesehene Trennung, Job weg, Wohnung weg. Phasenweise hatte sie sich dennoch intensiv gewünscht, die Erde würde sich unter ihr auftun.

Story
Ryder, Garrett, Kenzo, and Diesel - The Vipers. Their deals are as sordid as their business, and their reputation is enough to bring a grown man to his knees, forcing him to beg for mercy. They are not people you mess with, yet my dad did. The old man ran up a debt with them and then sold me to cover his losses. Yes, sold me. They own me now. I’m theirs in every sense of the word. But I’ve never been meek and compliant.

Story
Obituary writer Nadine Barbault doesn’t mind being called “Lady Death”. It suits the ice queen persona she’s cultivated to survive the fast-paced Toronto Herald. So when Nadine learns that famous (and reclusive) author Dot Voline has died, she doesn’t hesitate to run the obituary…only to discover that Dot is very much alive. Nadine’s screw-up has brought Wesley Chen of the rival Spear no end of joy—she’s been a thorn in his extremely ambitious side for years. But the renewed interest in Dot also surfaced chatter about a mysterious past scandal.

Story
Hockey coach Ashley Jaswal doesn't take nonsense from anyone … except her overbearing and superstitious family. They believe she's a good luck charm for her brother Jas, the newest Vancouver Canucks draft pick, forcing Ash to attend all his games as he rises up the NHL ranks, sacrificing her personal life (not that she has one—who decided hockey season needed to be 10 months long anyway?). Ash also clashes with Jas’s teammate, Canucks captain Devin Snyder.

Story
Asher Donovan is a living legend—the darling of the Premier League, the (arguably) greatest footballer in the world. But his reckless antics and recent team transfer have caused much controversy, and when his feud with his rival-turned-teammate costs them a championship, they’re forced to “bond” during off-season cross-training. Surviving the summer shouldn’t be hard…until Asher meets their new trainer. She’s beautiful, talented, and no matter how hard he tries, he can’t take his mind off her.
