What the hell.
Did he not understand the situation?
Sure, she might be with her boyfriend, but until we knew, this was a concern.
The Green-Eyed Cop studied him, then slid his device into his top pocket, and they said goodbye.When everyone left, I grabbed some junk food from the lunchroom despite feeling ill and chugged down a coffee.
The rest of the day dragged as we waited to hear any news.It never came.
Now I’m standing in front of the mirror, staring at my reflection, wondering if I should cancel mydatewith Jake.
I’m wearing one of those outfits that says I dressed up but not that much.A pair of blue jeans, an off the shoulder white top with simple silver jewelry.My hair is wavy, so I ran some product through it and added lip-gloss.
That’s it.
Kind of.
I shaved my legs, exfoliated and used my best moisturizer that plumps my skin.Sprayed my expensive scent and dug out my favorite Michael Kors sandals.
I can’t believe I’m going on a date with Jake Murphy.
Is it a date?
I keep calling it a date.
But it’s not really.It's two people who used to fuck catching up to discuss what happened when it fell apart.
It’s not a date.
Ugh.
I’m really not in the mood, but the opportunity to get answers may never come up again.
Cole has made it clear he doesn’t want Jake near me.I could tell my brother to back off, but he saw the pain in my eyes.Not much gets past him.
I don’t want to create conflict for the two alpha males at work, either.
She’s a relative.
Why didn’t Jake say that while we were together?He could’ve shown me the name, told me how they were related and what the issue was, and I’d be fine.
Mostly.
Leaving in the middle of the night frequently speaks to something serious going on.I’m not an unreasonable or insecure woman, so it irritates me.
Or he’s still lying.
Guess I’ll find out soon.
My doorbell rings, and I step away from the mirror.
Do not sleep with him, Caylee.
Drawing in a breath, I open the door and there he stands.All handsome, large and sexy.
“Christ, you’re gorgeous.”Jake says and takes a step, placing his huge hands around my upper arms and kissing my cheeks.
Our eyes lock when Jake straightens, and then they dip to my mouth.
