EVA

The only thing more awkward than having a disastrous first date, is having a disastrous first date with someone you have to see at work the next day.

And the day after that. And the day after that.

I knew I should never have let Vanessa talk me into accepting a date with Dr. Kevin Larkin. He was hot, yes. He had the perfectly sculpted body of a male model, and just-messy-enough dirty-blond hair that could make a woman want to run her fingers through it. He was also, as my best friend and colleague Vanessa so bluntly put it, “making serious coin.” If the fact that he was an emergency room doc wasn’t clue enough that his salary was well into the six figures, the late-model Jaguar he drove would tell you all you needed to know. And, as Vanessa had also been so helpful at to point out, “he’s been following you around like he’s a starving man and you’re a piece of meat.”

What more could a girl ask for, right?

Dr. Larkin had asked me out four times in the last two months, and every time, I had found an excuse to refuse. And every time Vanessa found out I’d refused again, she went ballistic.

“Eva, are you freaking crazy?” she would say. “He is hot! He is rich! He is into you! Good God, girlfriend, what more do you want?”

I sighed. “I’m just not comfortable dating someone I work with, Van.” Or dating at all, actually. I hadn’t been on an actual date, with an actual man, since my marriage had ended three years ago. The closest I’d come were late night encounters with Frank, my vibrator. And I was pretty sure that didn’t count.

“Well, you won’t be working with him anymore when you marry him and become a wealthy doctor’s wife who spends her time doing volunteer work and hobnobbing with other wealthy doctors’ wives.” She cocked a brow at me.

“Ugh. That actually sounds awful.” I loved my job as a physical therapist at St. Luke’s Hospital. I couldn’t imagine giving it up, even if I could afford not to work. “You are not selling this very well.”

“Well, okay, then,” she shrugged. “So, you’ll still work. Give back to the community, and all that. How about you can set up your own clinic somewhere with all that cash? You gotta think of the big picture.”

I laughed. “If and when I get my own clinic, it will be with my own money. I’m not interested in having a sugar daddy.”

“It’s not a sugar daddy if you’re married, girl. Or if he’s as hot as Kevin Larkin is.”

I tried as hard as I could to get Vanessa to drop the subject, but my best friend was nothing short of relentless when she had a goal in mind. Eventually, she wore me down. The fifth time Dr. Kevin Larkin asked me out, I said yes, mostly to get her off my back.

That date had been three days ago.

It had not gone well.

Actually, for a lot of women, it might have been a dream date.
