"Dude, come on. You're late," Jessie says pulling his sleeve down around his watch.

"It's only two after, Jessie. What's the hurry?" I chuckle as he races out the door onto the street.

What Jess doesn't know is that Joy and Laura won't be there until ten-thirty. He’s going to pace that damned coffee shop, I just know it.

As soon as we enter the café, Jess immediately starts looking around. Not finding the girls, he sits at a table … Joy's table.

"Dude, you can't sit there," I say, my eyes wide with shock as if he should know why.

"Why the fuck not?" he retorts.

"Because that's Joy's table. She always sits there. It's kind of an unspoken rule around here. Everyone knows it's her table, so they leave it open for her."

"Oh. Okay. Cool." So what does he do? He takes the table directly behind it. Feeling Jessie’s anxiety, I begin a conversation not related to his sex life to take his mind off Laura’s pending arrival. "So, are you going to be ready to give the tour of your department on Thursday afternoon?"

"Um, sure. What time again?" he says, looking at his watch.

"Jessie, it's at three o’clock. If you aren't into having this discussion with me, let's go back to the office," I say, trying so desperately to keep a straight face.

"No, no, I'm good. Sorry. I'll be ready. Then dinner at six."

"No, Jessie. Cocktails at six, dinner at seven. Dude! What the hell is wrong with you?" I ask, feigning anger. As soon as I see his eyes bug out of his head, I know the girls have arrived.

Laura holds the door open for Joy and no sooner they walk through the door, Laura's eyes hone in on Jessie.

"Joy, Matthew and Jessie are here. Did you know that?" I hear her say.

"No, but they won't bother us. Let's just sit right here.”

After the girls order their coffees, I turn toward Joy’s table and reach out to take her hand, pulling her to me.

"Hey, beautiful. I don’t want to bother you, I just couldn’t resist. We’re about ready to make our way back to the clinic anyway. I'll see you tonight, all right?"

"So, what do you intend to show them of your department?" I ask Jessie after returning to my coffee, "I think the educational center would be a good place to start." I suggest as I watch him focus on Laura.

"Yeah, sounds good," he replies.

Just as he answers, the door opens, and in walks what looks to be a mix of a hot fireman and stripper. I chuckle as he heads straight for Joy's table.

Well, shit.

"What the fuck, dude?" Jessie whispers to me. "Who the hell is that!?" he asks, sounding as insecure as I’m feeling about now. Just as I’m about to answer, Joy calls me over.

"Peter, I want to introduce you to my boyfriend, Dr. Matthew Davis. Matthew, this is Peter White. He’s Mr. White's son and has taken over for Scott."

"Nice to meet you, Peter," I say, shaking his hand.
