Chapter Two

The next day, Kate settled a big beach towel on the lounge chair by her pool. She had a book tucked under her arm, a huge glass of unsweetened iced tea in her hand, and a bottle of sunscreen on the table next to her. She now had everything that she needed for a lazy day in the sun.

Cindy was already lounging on her chair with her glass of ice water and the latest Hollywood magazine. She looked over at Kate and said, “So, why were you so preoccupied on the dance floor last night? You kept looking around.”

“I wasn’t,” Kate replied quickly. She didn’t want to get Cindy started down this line of conversation.

“Oh, don’t give me that. You were, too. I saw you looking around. Who were you searching for? Was it a guy? Did you see a hot guy? Are you now in the market? Tell me EVERYTHING.” Cindy was just getting warmed up.

“Wow, you really do start talking fast when you’re excited. Sometimes you get talking so fast I have no idea what you are saying,” Kate replied, trying to steer the conversation to a different topic.

“Oh no you don’t. Don’t even try to change the subject. Now, I know there was a guy. Who is he?” Cindy pushed.

Kate knew Cindy wasn’t going to let it go, and since she didn’t find the guy and probably wouldn’t see him again, she didn’t see any harm in telling Cindy about him. “There was a guy . . .”

Cindy jumped up and plopped down on Kate’s lounge chair, almost toppling it over in her enthusiasm. “I KNEW IT!!!” she squealed. “Tell me everything.”

“There really isn’t anything to tell you. When we were dancing, I looked up and saw this really hot guy standing on the edge of the dance floor. That’s it. Nothing else!” Kate finished, trying to end the conversation.

“That is SO not the end. What did he look like? What was he wearing? Did you talk to him? Did you get his phone number?”

Kate sighed. She knew she was going to have to give Cindy something or she would just never let up about it. “He has dark, wavy hair that is slightly longer on the top than the sides. He was wearing a dark-colored T-shirt and jeans.”

“That’s it? That’s all you’ve got? You can do better than that.”

“Okay . . . He filled out the T-shirt really well,” Kate replied, her cheeks getting slightly pink with embarrassment.

“Ooooo. What else,” Cindy said, already creating a mental picture.

“He had amazing blue eyes. Kind of like the actor Chris Pine,” Kate said as she looked over at the actor’s photo on the page of Cindy’s now-abandoned magazine.

Cindy sighed. “Did you talk to him?”

“No, as soon as we made eye contact, someone bumped into me on the dance floor and I lost sight of him. I looked around, but I never saw him again,” Kate said, a little disappointed.

“Ohhh no. We have to go back there. He might be there again,” she said, already planning their next outing.
