CHAPTER SEVEN

Aaron stood in front of the display of condoms debating whether he should get a regular pack or a value pack when he heard someone say his name. He turned and looked. "Sara?"

"I thought that was you," she said approaching him with a smile. "How have you been?"

"Never better," he said with a big smile. "And you?"

"I'm good." She nodded.

"Where's the boyfriend?" he asked. He didn't really care, but it was rare to see Sara without James in tow.

"We broke up."

"I'm sorry to hear that." Not really. He glanced back to the condoms and grabbed a value pack. More than ever he wanted to get back to Misty and feel her wrapped in his arms. "Well, it was good seeing you again. Take care."

"Wait," Sara said grabbing his arm. "I've been trying to call you all night. I keep getting sent to voicemail."

Aaron pulled his arm from her hold and checked his pockets for his cell phone. Shit. He must've left it at Misty's. Double shit. Sara had been calling and his phone was at Misty's. The last thing he needed was for Misty to think that he was involved with Sara, especially considering he'd just convinced Misty to give him a chance. "What did you need?"

"I was hoping we could maybe get together for dinner or something and talk," she said caressing his upper arm.

"There's nothing for us to talk about, Sara. You made your choice, remember?" He had no patience for this or her. All he wanted to do was get back to Misty's apartment, climb into bed with her, hold her, and make love to her.

"I made a mistake, Aaron. Please, just one dinner so I can explain. I'll buy."

"Look, Sara, I'm sorry things didn't work out with James, but it's too late for us," he said with firm compassion.

"Are you seeing someone?"

"Yes, and I really have to be going." He smiled. "I mean it, Sara. Take care of yourself." Aaron turned and walked away from her before she had started to cry. Sara was famous for crying over everything, no matter how insignificant it seemed. Nothing bothered him more than a woman with tears in his eyes. Then a thought struck him—if he ever had to see Misty cry it would kill him. He had no idea why that occurred to him. He shook it off and headed toward the cash register. A small display of bundled flowers caught his attention. He chose a bouquet of red and pink carnations. Yeah, they were a bit cheesy, but it was the gesture that mattered.

He quickly paid for his purchases and hurried back to Misty's. Amanda let him in. "She fell asleep," Amanda said with a grin. "I think you tired her out earlier."

"You heard that? I thought you were at the pool?" Aaron asked.

"I came in at the tail end of it."

"Sorry," he said with a frown. "I forget how thin these walls can be. I'm not used to anyone else being in the house when…" He cleared his throat.
