***

Josie still felt like she was walking around in a fog when she met Cassidy in the juice bar tucked away in the corner of her gym a few minutes later. Falling in love with her? It wasn’t possible. Was it?

“What’s wrong?” Cassidy asked, patting the stool beside her before handing Josie her favorite mixed berry smoothie. “You look like you’ve seen a ghost.”

“I, uh…” She took a sip of her drink, needing a moment to collect her thoughts. “D.J. just said something that really threw me, that’s all.”

“Well, don’t keep me in suspense,” Cassidy said impatiently. “What did he say?”

“He said he thinks he’s falling in love with me,” she whispered, shaking her head as though that alone would dispel the ridiculous notion.

“Shut up!” Cassidy gripped her forearm. “What did you say? How did you react? Tell me everything!”

“I was too stunned to say much of anything,” she said, replaying the conversation in her mind. “But that didn’t seem to bother him. He said he didn’t expect me to say anything. He just wanted me to know how he felt.”

“And how do you feel?”

That was the million dollar question, but with the dizzying swirl of thoughts and feelings churning around inside her head, Josie was too confused to sort it out. “I don’t know,” she said, trying to make sense of it all. “D.J.’s a good guy. In spite of my initial impression of him, I really believe that.”

“But?”

“He’s still D.J. Stevens.”

Cassidy laughed. “You say that like it’s a bad thing. Most women would definitely consider that a positive.”

“But for me it’s not,” Josie said, feeling frustrated when the words to describe her feelings wouldn’t come. “I dated the most popular guy in school, the one all the other guys wanted to be friends with and girls wanted to date. If you recall, that didn’t work out so well for me.”

“I didn’t know your ex, but from what you told me about him, D.J. is nothing like that.”

Josie wanted to believe that, but it wasn’t easy when there were still so many glaring similarities. “He’s good-looking, rich, successful, a womanizer who loves to party…” She sighed. “My ex was all of those things too, Cass. How are they so different?”

“Sure, D.J. likes to have a good time. He’s a fun and entertaining guy who happens to be in the music business, which is all about showing people a good time. And I can’t deny that he loves women and they love him, but that doesn’t mean he wouldn’t be faithful if he found the right woman.”

“I don’t know, a part of me thinks he may be saying these things because he’s feeling insecure about Connor moving in with me and may be trying to convince me to make a commitment so I won’t be tempted by Connor, which is ridiculous.”

Cassidy was the first person Josie called after Connor dropped his bombshell. She needed her best friend’s reassurance that everything was going to work out and she’d made the right decision by offering her home to her ex-boyfriend.
