Chapter 15

Harlow was relieved that for once, the Six Pack news didn’t center around Cole. This time Ryker had hit three home runs in a game and since all the sports pundits were talking about it, Harlow had to talk about it too. She was happy for him. One of the homeruns was not an automatic, but he was so dang fast, he beat the ball to the plate. An in-the-park homerun just made the story even more amazing.

“When are you sending that story about the homeruns?” Her intercom from her desk phone blared out her boss’ voice.

“Almost done.” She sighed. She had pitched an idea about a new company coming to the next town that was offering split shifts and work from home opportunities for women with small children. But he had been bored before she could take a breath.

She tried to focus, to get ahead on some of the articles she had to write but her mind kept drifting to Cole and his response to the reporter. “If a woman says she’s being picked on, I believe her.”

He had no idea how profound a statement that was, probably no clue that very thing was being debated nationwide surrounding women. And to him it had slipped out so naturally. The other women were swooning as soon as he left. Perhaps she could make it work with him, date him. Maybe he wasn’t like the other guys, maybe he had changed from the player he had always been? She shook her head. Cup pong came to mind and a shirtless Cole dancing on the table. She knew these were the famous last thoughts of every girl right before she let some guy break her heart, but she couldn’t help it. Something was different about Cole, something real, deep, and she couldn’t believe he was not sincere in their quiet moments alone. And suddenly she missed him. And she wanted to see him.

Before she could change her mind, she tapped his contact on her phone. He picked up right away. “Harlow babe.”

She cringed, but knew he meant it in the best way. The man had more terms of endearment for women than the day was long. “Cole.”

“What’s up?” He seemed a little distracted, but happy, into her maybe.

“Just wanted to hear your voice.”

The silence on the other end made her nervous. Then his quiet voice responded. “I need to see you.”

Her heart thrilled. “Me too. I mean, I need to see you too.”

“I’ll be there in about five hours.”

And then he was gone. And she leaned back in her chair and hugged the phone to her chest. He was coming. And as hard as she had tried not to fall for him, she felt herself dip closer and closer. Maybe he was as good as he seemed when they were alone. She could at least try and find out.

She finished up a few projects at work and then headed home. Anticipation filled her with energy. She jumped in the shower, took
