Chapter 8
Asher
That weekend, I took Jessica out to dinner again. I was determined to figure out what was going on, and I planned for this dinner to be the time that we discussed it. It had to be psychological, but I just couldn’t figure out what, and I could only solve that problem by talking to her. If a round of heady sex in a public place wasn’t enough to make her orgasm, then what was?
We sat down and ordered our drinks, and were just perusing the menus when another couple was seated next to us. It was a small restaurant, so the tables were all kind of close together; close enough, in fact, that I could easily have a conversation with whoever was next to us without having to raise my voice or crane my neck.
I didn’t much notice the new couple—I was planning out my strategy while pretending to study the menu—but right after they sat down, I heard Jessica say in a choked voice,
“Mom? Dad?”
I put down my menu.
There were two older people next to us—a woman with Jessica’s bright blue eyes, and a man with Jessica’s nose and cheekbones. Both were staring at Jessica, who was staring in horror at them.
“Jess!” her mom exclaimed, smiling widely. “Oh my goodness, you didn’t tell me that you had a boyfriend! Is this the young man you mentioned the other day?”
“I—Mom, I barely mentioned him, it was—”
“Oh, nonsense, I know you too well for that.”
Jessica’s mother turned to me and smiled. I could see Jessica’s face starting to flush pink, and not in a good way. She was embarrassed, I realized—no, mortified—that her parents had caught us.
Although we had been going out a lot, neither Jessica nor I had brought up the subject of what our relationship was or if we were serious. I was avoiding that topic because I didn’t want to break her heart before it was time, but now with her parents here, there was only one thing to do.
“I can see where Jessica gets her good looks,” I told her mother, smiling and holding out my hand. “I’m Asher. I’ve heard so many good things about you; it’s a pleasure to meet you both.”
“Veronica,” Jessica’s mother said.
“Charlie,” her father supplied.
“A pleasure,” I repeated. “I know I’m going to sound like a sap here, but I have to tell you, you raised a remarkable woman. Only thirty-one and already the vice president of a company? She’s amazing.”
“How old are you?” Charlie asked, ignoring Jessica’s expression of complete humiliation.
“Thirty-six,” I told him. “I’m an OB/GYN; I work in the North Shore district.”
“Wonderful,” Charlie said. “A doctor, what’s that like?”
“Positive, since I’m usually delivering babies,” I told him. “It’s a miracle every time.”
“And how did you two meet?” Veronica asked, clearly eager for details.
“My date stood me up,” I explained, “And I happened to look across the bar, where there’s this beautiful woman who sounds like she’s being stood up as well. I thought, well, misery loves company, so I went over and introduced myself.
