“Good?”
“Good.” She nods meaningfully as she holds her hands out to indicate his rather generous size, and I giggle.
“Nice. Just be careful.”
“I know the reputation a lot of these guys have, so I’m going in with eyes wide open, don’t you worry. What about you? What’s been going on with you and your man on D?”
“Man on D?” I repeat.
“Yeah. You know, D. Defense?” she says, as if she knows a damn thing about the game.
I laugh. “I thought D meant Dick.”
“It does, depending on context. Just like my man on O definitely was on the O the other night.” She looks up at the ceiling dreamily. “Multiple times.” She wiggles her brows.
The doorbell rings before I can respond to that, though before we got on the subject of orgasms, I was going to tell her about my nightmare the other night and how sweet Grayson was as he held me through it.
“Well, thanks for all those details,” I say dryly. “Looks like my date is here.”
“You look gorgeous, and you’re going to smash your way into his heart. Guaranteed.”
“You’re the best.” I head toward the door to answer it, and there stands Grayson Nash, here to pick me up for our date.
He’s wearing jeans, a white Nike T-shirt, and a hat…backwards.
What is it about a guy with a backwards hat on his head? He has great hair, but tossing on a hat and turning it around turns him into this sort of bad boy. A bad boy who I want to rock my entire body like he did that night at the Palms.
Sometimes I think I’m in some alternate reality. This man who is talented, hilarious, absolutely gorgeous, and…endowed…is here to pick me up for our date.
But then the truth clobbers me right smack dab in the middle of the nose. We may be going on a date, but we’re not really together.
And it sort of pops the balloon that I was starting to float up toward the clouds upon…until I remember my promise to myself.
I’m going to get him to fall in love with me.
“Hey,” he says, and his blue eyes seem extra bright for a beat. Maybe it’s the sunshine behind him, or the white shirt, or the backwards hat.
And then his eyes flick down my figure before landing on mine again, and they’re just a little darker than they were before.
“You look…” He trails off, and he clears his throat. “Wow. You look great.”
One side of my mouth lifts in a smile. “I was just thinking the same about you.”
We sort of just stand there staring at each other for a few beats, taking each other in.
And then he seems to gather his wits about himself again. “You ready to go?”
I nod. “Come on in. Let me just grab my purse.”
He follows me in and spots Kelly in the kitchen. They exchange pleasantries, and then we head out after I tell Kelly not to wait up.
I’m not sure why I say it other than the fact that I’m hoping this date ends up in his hotel room.
I’m certain I won’t get that lucky tonight, though.
We hop into his truck and cruise down the highway toward the stadium. It’s the first time he’s actually driven us somewhere, and I can’t help but notice a few things. First, his car is spotless. Second, his car smells like him. And third, the second we got in the car, he shut off the radio so we could talk.
There’s something really sweet about that last one. And it gets even sweeter when he says, “What did you do to my phone?”
