I sat in my car at Morello and Son’s on Monday morning watching the clock. It was ten after eight, and she hadn’t arrived yet. I had to talk to her. I wanted to go to her house after I left R&B’s on Saturday, but I didn’t want to risk AJ coming home and catching me there. That wouldn’t have been good at all. If I had her number, I could have called her, but I wanted to talk to her face to face. The girl had the worst possible timing.

My gaze rolled toward the clock again. 8:20. Shit. She wasn’t coming, was she? One hand raked through my hair while the other flicked at the stations on the radio. I messed this up. How could Jillian think I’d screw around with that piece of bar trash when I had her? There was no comparison between her and that chick she saw me with. She was a ten.

8:30. Dammit! My fist came down on the steering wheel. I was annoyed she didn’t come early today and angry with myself for not having tried to talk to her sooner. I got out of the car and paced around in the parking lot in a vain attempt to stop stalking the clock. She would get there when she got there, and I’d talk to her. That was all there was to it. I kicked the gravel and sat on the trunk of the car.

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck.

I pulled my phone out of my pocket and checked the time again. 8:45. The office was opening in fifteen minutes; she should be coming any second. I jumped off my car and walked over to the front door of the shop. Keys tinkled and gravel crunched and my heart started hammering in my chest. “You missed our date,” I said as she came around the corner.

“The fuck I did.” She stood there glaring daggers at me, her arms crossed over her chest. “That ship has sailed, pretty boy.”

“I’m sorry. It was a bad joke.” I put my hands up in surrender. “Listen to me, Jillian. Saturday night was a case of bad timing, that’s all.”

“You don’t need to explain yourself to me, friend. We had a little fun, but it’s over now. Let’s move on and go about our lives, m’kay?”

“Fuck that noise. That’s bullshit and you know it.” She flinched but held onto her resolve. She was a tough bitch. It was one of my favorite things about her. “I went to the bathroom looking for you. When I got there, your clumsy ass ricocheted off a fat chick and pushed that girl into me. That’s it.”

“Oh, yeah? How convenient! Can you explain why your arms were around her when I found you?” She pursed her lips and quirked her brow.

“I grabbed the girl just before she hit the ground. It was a reflex, nothing more. You stormed away so fast you didn’t even have time to see the girl’s boyfriend come up and grab her away from me.
