It’s Saturday morning, and I’m standing here waiting for Cole to come into Berry Delicious for his morning order. He has come in every morning for the past week trying to talk to me. Each time he comes in I take his order and give him his food then send him on his way. I’m not ready to give in. I refuse to be with someone who talked to me the way he did the other night.

Ruby thinks I should just talk to him about why he acted that way and get it over with. I have a feeling there’s something she’s not telling me, but I’m not going to pry. She’ll tell me if she wants to. The day after our blind date, Ruby showed up at my house bright and early and offered to drive me to Remy’s to pick up my Jeep. We didn’t talk about her brother much, but she mentioned that he called her and told her about what happened. Ruby said no matter what, we would still be friends. Um, duh, she’s the first girlfriend I’ve ever had that I can be myself around.

Gram has asked me each time he leaves when I’ll ‘let the poor boy off the hook.’ Part of me knows I’m being ridiculous for acting so childish about the whole thing. The other part of me is furious he even asked me if I was talking to another guy. Of course, I wasn’t. But even if I was, that wasn’t his business, right?

None of it really matters though because I can’t get him out of my head. He’s all I think about, and it’s getting worse every day I don’t get to spend with him. I’ve tried reading books to get him off my mind, but I just end up picturing him as the guy in my book, making it hard for me to see him as the bad guy. I keep thinking about the kisses we shared and how intense that one moment was. It was powerful and all-consuming. How can he feel so important after only a few hours?

I’ve checked the clock a hundred times by now, and I can’t help feeling disappointed that he isn’t here. Not only is he not here, but he’s also over an hour late. Maybe he gave up, and I’m really not the woman for him like he made me believe. Maybe everything he said to me the other night was a load of bull shit. I throw the spatula that I’ve been icing the cupcakes with down on the counter and icing splatters all over me.

“Just go see him,” Gram says handing me a clean dish towel.

I’m about to protest when she puts her hands up to stop me. “Don’t try and deny it Aubree. You two need to talk. Get it all off your chest and see what he has to say. Maybe he’ll surprise you. Or maybe you’ll find out he wasn’t the guy he seemed to be. You won’t know until you try though.
