Chapter Fifteen

“So what’s this I hear about your new boyfriend?” Brooke asked the moment I picked up the phone.

“Hello to you too.”

“Yeah, yeah. Hello, how are you, I miss you. All that crap. Now get to the good stuff. Who’s the guy? And why the hell is this the first I’m hearing about it?”

“I didn’t want to make a big deal out of it.” I leaned back on the couch, putting my feet up on the opposite arm. “It’s still pretty new.”

“Well, according to my sources, it is a big deal. Like, see each other every single night kind of deal.”

“You’ve been talking to Chris, I presume?” I said.

“Yes, I had to resort to asking Chris about my best friend’s love life because someone didn’t feel the need to tell me herself.”

“Sorry, Brooke,” I said, feeling a little guilty. “I just didn’t want to turn it into some big production. I want to see how things go first.”

“Were you worried I would disapprove?”

“Why would you disapprove?”

“Chris says you’re moving too fast.”

I threw my hands up in the air and looked around the room, wishing there was someone there to share in my incredulity. “Chris is getting mighty opinionated when it comes to my dating, isn’t he?”

“He was just telling me what he thought.” Brooke was quiet for a moment. “So. Are you moving too fast?”

“I haven’t even slept with him!” I cried.

“That’s not what I mean. Actually, I would be less concerned if you had. The fact that you’re waiting means it must be serious.”

“Which is something you should be concerned with?”

I couldn’t believe I was having this conversation. I had been dating Greg for three weeks now. Yes, we had been seeing an awful lot of each other. But what was the big deal? He continued to be nothing but a gentleman to me—he treated me better than any guy I had ever been with. Plus, he seemed determined to show me a good time and expose me to new things. Why shouldn’t I want to be with him as much as possible?

“That’s not what I meant,” Brooke was saying. “I just feel like maybe there’s something you’re not sure of, since you haven’t told me anything about it.”

“I’m sorry.” I blew out a gust of air. “What do you want to know?”

“Well, tell me about him!”

“Okay, let’s see. His name is Greg Cook. He’s twenty-nine, and he works in real estate. He sells all those big mansions up in Bloomfield Hills, remember that time you visited and we drove around up there?”

“Yeah, I was trying to find Eminem,” she said, and I laughed. As soon as Brooke found out I was going to be living near Detroit, she became convinced I would run into Eminem one day.

“Yeah, around there. So yeah, that’s what he does. And he’s pretty successful. He’s got a great apartment in Birmingham, and he’s always taking me out to really nice places.” I felt a flicker of pride, which I knew was ridiculous, so I tried to squash it.
