When I returned my attention to Jeremy, I started eating a couple more peanuts as he revealed, “His girlfriend just broke up with him, and he’s been really bummed out. This was the first time I managed to convince him to come out in three weeks. I was kind of hoping I could get you to make him want to drink a little less and see that there are still good women out there.”
I cocked a brow. “What exactly would you like me to do?”
He shrugged. “That’s entirely up to you, but I think a bit of attention and maybe a kiss from a beautiful woman like yourself would go a long way in cheering a man up.”
I felt for Jeremy’s friend. Breakups were tough. But while I thought I’d been forming a connection with Jeremy, he really wasn’t interested in me. It sucked, but at least I knew the truth now.
Never one to shy away from a challenge, recognizing that it was harmless and would help the guy feel better, I said, “What’s his name?”
“Mike.”
I took one last sip of my drink, noting I wouldn’t be drinking any more of it, and grabbed the second cherry out of it. Then I made my way over to Mike.
“Hey,” I said when I made it over to where he was.
Mike smiled. “Hi.”
“Have you ever seen a girl tie a cherry stem using only her mouth?” I asked.
His face lit up, even if the scent of alcohol was overpowering him. He really was drowning his sorrows. “Even if I have, I’ve never seen you do it, so it would be like the first time, wouldn’t it?”
“Fair point.”
I closed my mouth around the cherry, ate the fruit, anddisposed of the pit. Then, I worked my magic with the stem. When I pulled it out of my mouth and showed off the knot, it was clear Mike had enjoyed the show. “Impressive.”
I took a step closer, placed my hand on his chest, and leaned into him. “That’s not all I can do.”
“Is that so?”
With a smile on my face, I nodded.
He lowered his mouth to mine. “What’s your name?”
“Daisy,” I whispered, closing the remaining distance and kissing him.
It wasn’t bad. I mean, it wasn’t anything I’d remember in the morning, but if it helped to lift the guy’s spirits, I was okay with it. But kissing was as far as it was going to go.
Mike and I were in the middle of the kiss when I suddenly felt an excruciating pain at the back of my head as my hair was yanked and a woman shouted, “What the fuck are you doing?”
“Stacy,” Mike said, horrified.
Oh, no.
Oh, God.
The ex-girlfriend was here.
“I asked you a question, bitch!”
Blinking my eyes, my hands in my hair as I attempted to alleviate the pain from the hold she had on me, I couldn’t formulate a response.
“You think you can just walk up to someone else’s man and start kissing him?” she shouted, yanking harder.
“No. I… I didn’t know he had a girlfriend,” I rasped. “I thought you broke up with him.”
We were stumbling back and forth. I was desperately hoping Jeremy was going to come over and clear up the confusion.
“Broke up? Bitch, we’re engaged.”
