Chapter 16

“Come on, it will be fun. Besides, sitting here and pouting all day isn’t healthy.”

“Cassie, I really don’t want to,” I said as I tucked my head beneath my pillows.

“Cayden and I think it will get your mind off of things.”

“Oh really? You two are discussing my life without me?” I mumbled. When did they become such good friends?

“We won’t stay long. Come on, Kara. Dominic’s probably out having fun right now. So you should to.”

“I don’t care what that madman does.”

“Are you really going to let him win?”

I bit my lip and thought about that. She was right. He was probably wrapped up in the arms of that airhead, Kimberly. I peered out of my mountain of pillows. “Oh, all right. Give me ten minutes.”

“Goody!” she squealed happily. “Cayden will be here in five.”

“You planned on me going all along?” I asked in disbelief.

“I’m pretty confident in my persuasion skills.” Cassie flipped her blond locks and smiled brightly. “Here, I’ve already picked out your clothes.”

I groaned. “Cassie, no. I can pick out my own.” I took a weary look at the outfit that lay at the foot of the bed and couldn’t hide my surprise.

“Don’t worry; I had you in mind when I picked them out. I know better than to try to force you into a mini skirt and heels.”

Thank God, I thought, reaching for the clothes. I shimmied into the faded jeans and t-shirt and dragged myself to the full-length mirror beside Cassie’s bed. My mouth quirked into a small smile as I admired my reflection. The gray tank top was simple, but slimming. I draped my neck with my charm necklace and slipped into my sneakers.

“I’m ready,” I announced, just as there was a knock at the door.

Cassie blew past me and yanked the door open eagerly. “Hey, Cayden,” she said in a sultry voice.

Cayden stepped inside, and I must admit, he was quite a remarkable sight. His plaid shirt suited him. It was snug, accentuating the lean muscles in his chest and thick biceps.

Cassie came up beside me and whispered, “That collar is opened just wide enough to make you yearn for more.” She wet her lips. “God, I think I’m in love.”

Cayden’s eyes settled on Cassie. “Wow, I’m impressed you were able to convince her.”

“Me too,” she replied. “I was about to bribe her with free pedicures for a month.”

Cayden chuckled.

“Don’t laugh blondie. I never said who’d be giving the pedicures.” She shot him a playful grin and grabbed her purse from the desk. “Now, let’s go have a little fun.”

“I can’t believe I let you talk me into coming here, again,” I said, touching my fingertips to my forehead.

“Oh lighten up,” said Cassie. “Have a drink and get your fanny out on the dance floor.”

“No, I just agreed to come so you’d get off my back.” I settled into a barstool and looked around. The same redheaded bartender was working. She was busy sopping up a puddle of beer until she noticed Cayden.
