“I don’t know if I like this feeling,” Autumn laughed.
“What exactly is bringing this up for you tonight?” Piper asked.
“I spent a lot of time with Quinn today,” Autumn began. Piper arched an eyebrow, pinning her with a stare.
“Not like that,” Autumn huffed a sigh.
“Then what was it like?” Piper drawled.
“We went to the warehouse to look at furniture. She fell off a ladder and I had to catch her.”
“Good grief. I’ll give you this much you sure know how to show a woman a good time,” Piper teased.
Autumn shot her a sharp look, but Piper only shrugged and grinned.
“After the warehouse we went for lunch so that I could show her my mockups for the bar.”
“So far this all sounds like business as usual,” Piper moaned, a plea for Autumn to get to the juicy stuff.
“Fine. Fine. Then she asked me if she would be my type if she wasn’t my client.”
“Go Quinn,” Piper smiled.
“Not helping, Piper.”
“What? I can appreciate someone who can see what’s right in front of them.”
Autumn sighed but continued her explanation.
“I told her yes. Then she told me that when I was done working with her on the bar that she was going to ask me out.”
Piper’s grin widened; Autumn huffed a sigh.
“What did you say?”
“I said, ‘I guess we’ll see,’” Autumn answered.
“Very smooth,” Piper laughed.
“What was I supposed to say?”
“Why wait? Ask me now.”
“Piper,” Autumn tusked.
“Take me, I’m yours,” Piper howled with laughter.
“Piper!” Autumn chided.
“I’m just saying you’ve been struggling to find someone to the point we’ve both basically given up. Now here is a womanbold enough to tell you that she’s interested in you. On top of that she’s your type. Why are you waiting?”
“I’m being professional.”
“You’re being stubborn,” Piper argued.
Autumn downed the last bit of her wine and headed to the kitchen for glass number two. Glass filled, she moved back to the couch. Piper gave her a once-over. Her friend was far more insightful for comfort in this moment.
“I just want to go about things in a good way. This is a huge project. Not just for me, but for Quinn too. She’s put her finances and her heart into this bar. It’s too important to let our feelings run away with our senses.”
