YouTube Heat…or Looking for Love in All the Wrong Places

The Love Gamble’s sexy barkeep made a hot-and-heavy kiss-stop in Chelsea late last night. But who is the mystery woman? Check out the YouTube link below if you’re up for a vicarious thrill, but lovers beware, the chemistry here is not G-Rated.

Jane fell back against the cushions of her loveseat, pressed the phone against her pajama-covered chest and tried to pretend her world wasn’t crashing down on her like an avalanche.

Oh my God. YouTube.

Shit.

She and Charlie…kissing outside her building…on YouTube.

She tilted the screen and viewed the video one more time. Thank God her Chelsea brownstone was standard issue. And it was dark. And she’d dragged him in quick. At least, she had a shot at retaining her anonymity, if not her dignity.

Shit, shit, shit.

Her face flamed fire truck red and she tried to breathe, despite the fact that every molecule of oxygen had already rushed from her lungs. She scrolled down to the comment section. More than thirty-two hundred shares.

This is exactly what chemistry got a woman. Ever since her father had taken off, she’d maintained her emotional distance and control. There were too many real issues to worry about. Issues like her mother’s late nights and bad choices. Issues like working hard to get the hell out of Brooklyn. Well, her inner wild child had busted out last night and what had she gotten for it? Trouble. Serious, freaking trouble.

Time to put that inner child in lockdown. If the news came out that Cupid was caught kissing the Love Gamble bachelor, it would compromise her entire reputation.

Of course, none of that would matter if she lost the bet. And Jane was finally worried that she might. Since their post-chemistry explosion, Charlie had been MIA. No Cupid Report. No call. No text. No nothing. He’d bailed. Exactly the way she knew he would.

She was considering breaking out the emergency chocolate when a text from Adam Walters popped onto the screen. Looks like you’re about to get lucky.

If he was talking about the video…no, the image was too grainy, too dark. Her shaking fingers punched in a quick response. Lucky?

A text message pinged back almost immediately. Don’t be coy. I’ve know you’ve seen the video—who hasn’t? There was a short pause. Your bachelor looks to be enjoying his date.

Her fingers flew across the keys. Logic-based matchmaking does it every time.

Three seconds later, a response appeared on the screen. Looks more like chemistry to me. Sweet dreams, Cupid.

Sweet dreams, my ass. If he’d seen the video already, it’d probably hit the Best of YouTube by morning. She couldn’t just sit there and do nothing.

A few clicks later, she was pressing the speed-dial for her brother. As always, he picked up on the first ring. “Hey, Janey.”

She tugged hard on her ear, kept her tone casual. “Hey, any chance you’ve talked to Charlie today? Maybe recently.
