“You left him in a closet where you’d just been making out hot and heavy.” She shrugs. “It’s unlikely he didn’t have them.”
My head shakes as I laugh at my friend. “Oh, my God. Let’s talk about something else.Anythingelse.”
And we do.
We talk for another hour about life, but my mind is back in that closet with the sexy stranger the entire time.
The fact is, if he hadn’t called me Rae, I probably would’ve given myself to him. And I’d likely be regretting it today.
I’ll likely be dreaming of him for months to come because you don’t forget guys like that.
Player or not.
He is something otherworldly, and that sort of sex appeal is tough to shake.
Those beautiful blue eyes and dimples to die for could make any strong woman cave.

Sittingat my new desk at my brand-new job is exciting.
But truth be told, I feel like an imposter.
It’s like I’m watching a movie of myself or am involved in a very real dream.
I keep running my hands over the wooden desk, wishing someone could take a photo of me to send to Asher.
How dorky would that be?
Very.
Plus, I have a feeling that wouldn’t go over well in this place.
A few people have been less than kind today, making me wonder if it has anything to do with my change in position. Were they originally hoping to snag the promotion?
So, yeah, nope.
There will be no pictures.
I don’t want to come across as the childish new girl taking selfies in her unearned office.
My phone pings, and I look to see a text from Asher.
Asher: How’s the day going?
Me: You must have ESP because I was thinking about you...
Asher: Oh, yeah? This I’ve got to hear...
I reread that last text I sent, cringing at the way it might come across. Lily and my mom have burrowed so deep in my head that I’m now freaking out that I’m sending mixed signals. It sucks. I’ve never worried about this sort of thing with Asher. I’ve always been myself and said whatever I wanted without thought. Now, I’m analyzing everything.
Me: Well... less about you and more about sending you a selfie of my new desk.
Me: I HAVE A DESK!!!!!!
Asher: That’s a lot of exclamation points. This desk must be special...
