“Something is bothering you,” Barbara said as she sat her pert butt on my desk and crossed her arms. She gave me an “I’m not moving until you tell me” look.

It was Wednesday.

And I hadn’t heard a thing from Henry. At all.

I don’t know what I’d been expecting but when he took my phone and programmed me into his before he left me Sunday morning, I assumed that meant I’d at least get a “I arrived safe and sound” text. Or something.

But nada. Zilch. Zippo. Nothing.

And I was back to feeling like an insecure high schooler.

I resented the hell out of him for it.

“Is it about Lexington?” Barbara asked.

Feeling vulnerable and stupid, I didn’t want to explain. Barbara was so together about men. She was always the one in control. She surprised me by saying, “They have a way of fucking with our heads even when we think we’ve done everything to protect ourselves from it.” She saw my surprise and nodded. “There was someone in my past I developed feelings for. Even when I meant not to.”

“What happened?”

“He married someone else.”

“Jesus.”

She shrugged as if it didn’t matter anymore. “It happens. So what’s going on with Lexington?”

I found myself telling her all about our one-time-deal agreement, the charity ball, his mother, and in not great detail, our night together and the morning after. “Now he hasn’t called and I’m feeling the way I promised myself I’d never feel. Insecure. Stupid. Vulnerable. He’s… God, Barb, he’s such a flirt. And it’s so natural to him, he wouldn’t even know how to stop. So how do I know he’s not in Panama with some beautiful Panamanian woman saying all the same things to her that he said to me?”

“You don’t.”

I winced at her bluntness.

“You don’t, sweetie. I’ve known Henry Lexington longer than you and I can tell you that the man bores easily. You should not, I repeat not, be waiting around for him to call you.” She stood, having no idea how much she’d trampled across my hopes. “Instead, I think you should do what you were doing. Have fun. Play the field.” She grinned. “I’m setting you up on a date for tomorrow night.”

“No.” My stomach dropped at the thought.

“Yes, and not just any date. I’m setting you up with Micah.”

“Who is Micah?” I asked warily since she’d said the name with sex in her voice.

“Micah is my young friend. He’s gorgeous and he is never looking for anything but fun.”

Understanding dawned. “You’re setting me up on a sex date?”

“Yes. The only way to get over Henry is to have sex with someone else who is fantastic in bed. And trust me… No one will blow your mind the way Micah will blow your mind.”

“Wait… you’re setting me up with your fuck buddy?” I hissed.

She shrugged. “I don’t mind sharing.”

“Barb—”

“Sex is a high.” She grabbed my shoulders, giving me a little shake. “You had amazing sex with Henry and it has clouded your judgment. Having even better sex with someone else will put you back on the right course.
