Chapter Ten

Janine and I met in the complex gym bright and early Monday morning. I had barely slept after I got home from the hospital, but I needed to expend some of the nervous energy pinging around inside me.

We had the place to ourselves, so it was a great time to talk about Book Boyfriend Inc. We came up with a plan while we worked out, dividing tasks so we could finish what needed to be taken care of to get up and running quicker. The sooner BBI was a legitimate business, the better. I had to take care of certain things as the owner, and since I didn’t have a car, she offered to loan me hers.

“I’d feel a lot better if you just drove me. I’d hate if something were to happen to your car. Your husband would lose his shit if he found out some guy was cruising around in your seven series.” I watched her halfhearted attempt at a yoga pose I’d seen Skye do a thousand times while I worked my traps on one of the machines.

She panted while straightening to stand. “My husband doesn’t need to know, for starters, and if I’m carting your tight butt around all day, I won’t be here getting things done on my own list, will I?”

I twisted at the waist, trying to get a better view of my own backside, just to tease her.

“Trust me on this one, Oliver. It’s tight.” She shook her head and rolled up her yoga mat. “So, we’ll meet back at your place by two? That should give you enough time to get done at city hall and me more than enough time to deal with the printer and the fictitious-name filing requirements. I’m going to look into web designers too if I get done early. We really need an internet presence.”

“Yeah, I don’t know about that. Sounds expensive.” Draining the last of my water, I admitted the inevitable. “I may need to work in a couple dates this week. I’ve been paying more attention to my personal life, and the requests are backing up.”

Janine was the only person outside those involved who knew the entire story regarding Bailey and Skye. I had to have someone to confide in, and now that Skye was changing her temperament as fast as the tide changed down at the pier, I wasn’t feeling like she was an unbiased party anymore.

“How is Bailey going to feel about you”—she paused, probably searching for a tactful term—“dating other women?”

“She’s known about Book Boyfriend this whole time. She’s never once said don’t do it anymore. I need to pay my bills, Janine. And have you heard me take a call from Harrison lately?”

“What if the client wants to sleep with you? Are you prepared to turn them down?”

We walked slowly across the complex, following the winding sidewalk still wet from the overnight sprinklers.

“I hadn’t really thought of that. I guess I’ll have to address it from the initial arrangements.”

“Don’t you think that will eliminate some prospective clients? I think you need to start farming out, Oliver.
