Chapter 17: I Want the Fucking Fairy Tale

“Oh, my God,” I whisper, staring in awe out the front windshield of Eric’s SUV as he pulls into a parking space.

“Is that a good oh my God or a what the fuck are you doing oh my God?” Eric asks.

I glance away from the sight in front of me to see him staring at me with a nervous smile on his face, and it makes me feel all soft and mushy in the general region of my chest.

I am feeling soft and mushy for a man.

I wait for the little voices in my head to tell me to stop being so weak and pathetic and not to fall for the same shit from a different guy, but they never come. Because there is nothing similar about this shit. This is all new shit. This is bigger and better shit. This is sweet shit. Hot shit. Important shit. Romantic shit.

You scoop one litter box and now you can’t stop thinking about shit.

“It’s definitely a good oh my God,” I tell Eric, quickly grabbing my purse, reaching for the door handle, and jumping out of the SUV, meeting Eric at the front of the vehicle. “I can’t believe you brought me here.”

Giddy excitement rushes through me, and if I weren’t in public where someone might witness me looking like an asshole, I would be jumping up and down, clapping my hands together and squealing. Like a peppy cheerleader. Like a girl.

Eric brought me to a flea market. I know, I know . . . I just mentioned romantic shit, and flea markets do not really scream hearts and romance, but this is me we’re talking about here. I don’t need love poems or candlelit dinners or a dozen roses. If you want to woo me, bring me to the largest pop-up flea market in twenty counties, with the biggest collection of antiques you’ve ever seen, which only comes around once every three years.

“When I was grabbing a coffee this morning before work I saw a flyer for this thing on their bulletin board. It sounded like something you might like,” he tells me.

“Might like? This is the kind of thing that will get you laid.”

I can already feel my neck getting red and hot and itchy as soon as the words leave my mouth. Sure, we’ve been making out pretty hot and heavy lately, but it’s never moved beyond that, and we obviously haven’t talked about it like normal adults because that’s just stupid. I don’t know how this shit works. Am I supposed to ask for it? Am I supposed to initiate it? I know I’m all about being a strong, independent woman, but sometimes, you just need the guy to take the fucking lead and read your mind so you aren’t questioning everything.

While I’m waiting for a hole to open up in the parking lot and suck me down into the pits of hell to put me out of my misery, Eric slides his arm around my waist and pulls me against him.
