CHAPTER EIGHT

I may not have had sex with Bosun last night, but my dream self sure did. I float around my apartment, getting ready for work, as I replay every little detail of our date over and over. I think I might have skipped down the walkway to Katie’s car, too.

It’s a good thing Katie is my best friend, because I don’t think anyone else could have stomached my gushing on about how amazing Bosun is. I know I overdo it, because she gets quiet near the end of our ride to work, so I change the subject.

The coffee pot gurgles to announce it’s done, and I fill two mugs with the steaming-hot liquid. I add cream to both. Katie is out front, dealing with the emails that came in overnight, and I go to her with our drinks.

“Hey, I’m sorry I totally monopolized the conversation this morning.” Katie is frowning at the computer screen. “Is everything okay? Was I so wrapped up in my night that I didn’t notice something’s wrong?”

She glances up at me and reaches for her coffee. “No. It’s just that there’s an unusual amount of requests for men’s haircuts. I haven’t even had a chance to play the voicemails, but the machine says we have thirty.”

“Thirty?”

“Yeah. And I guess it’s more requests for an appointment. You’re about to be very busy. Did you run an ad?”

“Oh my gosh.” A grin covers my face when I realize what must have happened. “Last night, Bosun suggested putting a coupon for half-price men’s cuts in the bottom of his newsletter. I bet it went out already.”

I’m dying to mention how adorable my new boyfriend is, but I fear I’m being obnoxious. Katie chuckles and says, “Go ahead. Tell me what you’re trying not to say.”

“Okay.” I squeal. “Isn’t he sweet?”

“Very.”

“And can you believe he did this for me?”

“He’s pretty amazing.”

I sigh and fall back in a chair to swing back and forth. “I know it’s too soon to know, but I think I’m in love.”

My friend gets up and seats herself next to me. She perches on the edge of the chair, and her hands grip me by my knees to twist me to face her. “Dev, I hate to be a downer, but you need to be careful.”

“You know, if you weren’t my best friend, I’d be upset that you don’t seem thrilled for me. What is it that scares you about Bosun?”

“I can’t tell you. But if he doesn’t soon, I will. I promise.”

“Okay.” My mood won’t stay somber, and I bounce out of the chair. “I’m going to call him now to thank him for the newsletter.” I squeal again. “He’s just so cute!”

My happiness is contagious, because Katie smiles at me and says, “You do that. I’m going to go juggle appointments to fit these guys in.”

I find my phone in my purse and text Bosun. “Can I call you?”

“I’ll call you in 5”

I hold my phone against my chest and sigh as I picture his dreamy blue eyes gazing at me.
