Eric

“She’s edgy. I love that about her. Did you see her tattoos? And her hair? I’m sorry, Jen, but I’m smitten this time.”

I stab my steak and shove it in my mouth. Just thinking about Bianca makes me ravenous.

Jennifer moves her salad around and says, “Yes, I saw all of that, and so will our customers. I’m not sure what Raven was thinking. She does seem savvy with her trade, and she wasn’t a complete dunce when we were talking about marketing. But she has a lot to learn.”

“She does, but we can help teach her. She’s a diamond in the rough.”

Jennifer laughs and takes a sip of her water. “Yes, you can teach her. Oh wait, we’re talking about business. You know, this My Fair Lady thing has backfired on you in the past.”

“This is different and you’re just jealous.”

Jennifer and I had a thing going for a while, but only when I was in town, which wasn’t often. It’s not like we ever actually dated, or Jennifer has any actual feelings. Okay, I suppose she does, but not for me.

“Please, Eric. Don’t flatter yourself. I was a bit disappointed this morning, but I’ve recovered. You didn’t need to take me to dinner to explain all of this. If I were you, I would be more worried about Raven’s reaction.”

Raven and I did date. Actually we almost got married. I sort of blame myself for her poor rebound marriage choice. Hopefully she will be jet setting long enough this time to get me, Corey and all of the drama out of her system. Once she sees how much I’ve helped her protégé, I’m sure to get her blessing. She dumped me, after all, and her parents still love me.

“I’m not worried about her.”

I wipe my face with the white cloth napkin, and take a generous gulp of wine. I am doing everything with such gusto tonight.

I can’t believe I have to wait to see Bianca. I can’t even remember if she told me what night she doesn’t have her son. I know she doesn’t tonight, but I can’t exactly turn up at her house and crawl into her bedroom window so her mother doesn’t hear me. She needs her own place, and a set schedule with the kid. But one thing at a time.

“My main concern is the salon. I don’t want to have to hide my relationship with Bianca from the staff. I’m a little worried about Amy. Gloria is a sweetheart and Stephanie is a bored teen, but Amy is a bit on the jealous side.”

“Do you really think every woman wants you, Eric?”

“Not every woman. But you know how she is. Did she give Bianca a warm reception?” I raise my eyebrow and wait for her response.

She folds her hands on her lap and sighs. “Of course she did. Amy is my protégé.”
