Chapter Ten

“Hello.”

“Ashley? It’s Jake.”

“Oh, hi, Jake!” As if her phone hadn’t told her who it was.

“I promised to call you.”

“So you did. What did you want to talk about?”

For the second time that day, Jake removed the phone from his ear and looked at it quizzically. Now what game was she playing?

“Uh, I guess I just wanted to talk.” What the hell? Now he would have to find something to say. Jake was beginning to believe that Ashley was either a multiple personality, or the most annoying woman he had ever met. Was the incredible sex worth the hassle? Maybe not. One evening in bed wasn’t much of an investment, he could write that off. But, he still needed to take her to that damned concert. He tried again.

“So, do you want to come over?”

“What did you have in mind?”

God, she wasn’t going to make it easy. “We could hang out, or go out for a drink.”

“You don’t want to have sex?” Jake definitely wanted sex; that was the only thing that would salvage this evening, but at this point he couldn’t read her, couldn’t figure out what she would want to hear. Ashley made a different contrary answer to whatever he said. Might as well go for broke.

“I wouldn’t turn it down. Do you?”

“Maybe.”

“Okay, why don’t you come over, we can talk, I’ll give you a drink if you want one, and then you can decide.”

Ashley was beaten at her own game. If she wanted sex tonight, she would have to concede, and go to his house. Remembering the last time, she decided, why not?

“I’ll be over in a while.” At least she would make him wait and wonder.

“See you when you get here.” Jake wasn’t going to make a fuss, he considered that he had gotten off relatively easy. If she showed up, great. If she didn’t, well, at least his apartment would be clean. He wouldn’t expect anything until he held her in his arms.
