For once in my life, I was grateful for a lunch shift at the bar. Keeping myself occupied after Bronwyn had left proved to be more difficult than I’d imagined. Not once in my life had I ever been so gone over a chick, and cleaning wasn’t the way to distract my thoughts. I hadn’t thought I’d hear much from her, but with each hour that had ticked by without a word, I lost another shred of my dignity and my sanity.

I was overthinking all of it. Putting pressure on her to spend time together wouldn’t create the relationship I wanted, but damn, I hated not having her around. In less than twenty-four hours, she’d turned me into a lovesick fool. Although, if I were honest with myself, I’d done nothing but think or fantasize about her since we’d started talking.

I could only pray that being at work would take my thoughts off of her and watching the clock. I finished tying my bow tie and checked myself in the mirror. There was something different there. I didn’t look like the man who’d stood in this same spot yesterday. I wondered if this was the glow people talked about, the way love looked good on a person. Then I mentally slapped myself and shook my head. Fucking pussy.

My keys and phone waited for me on the kitchen counter where I’d dropped them both after walking Bronwyn to her car. I grabbed them, slid them in my pocket, and locked the door behind me as I left for my shift. I hadn’t bothered to drive since I got off before the sun went down, and I had energy to burn.

While running across the street, my phone rang. I didn’t stop to see who it was for fear a car would make a pavement pelt out of me. This wasn’t the greatest stretch of road to play Frogger on. But hoping it was Bronwyn, I didn’t want to miss the call. I reached into my pocket as I stepped off the curb, knowing I had just enough time to get across without meeting my maker or the hood of a vehicle. But my fingers tangled with my keys and the phone slipped through my hand, falling to the pavement. I turned back, dodging one car and narrowly missing another, but before I could get to my cell, a vehicle came out of nowhere, barely missing me, but hitting the bullseye.

“Fuck!” I grabbed the electronic mess when the car passed and managed to get to the other side without dying.

I didn’t have to be a techie to know that the damn thing wasn’t salvageable. The screen was shattered, and bits of the guts had exploded out the sides. It wasn’t really even one solid piece anymore. There wasn’t a repair guy in the country that could fix this.

I clung to the parts as I pushed through the door to The Lounge, muttering all sorts of cuss words under my breath. I didn’t have the extra cash lying around to replace the damn thing, and a new iPhone would be close to a grand.
