Holy shit. I was in so much trouble. I really liked Will. And more than that, I really wanted to sleep with him again. That would lead to feelings and messy stuff that would get me in trouble. And one thing I wanted to stay away from was anything that could lead to feelings. I could honestly see myself being in a relationship again, but it would have boundaries. One in which he would have his place and I would have mine. There wouldn’t be sleepovers or any of the messy living arrangements. He would have his life and I would have mine.

The problem with this? Will was not cut out to have this kind of lifestyle. I could tell it from the way he was around his family. They had that close-knit unit that most people were envious about. It was clear that he wanted something long-lasting, while I was just hoping for a long-term relationship of fucking.

I walked down the street, not really having anyplace in particular to go, and stopped outside a floral shop that I had seen many times before, but never stopped in. I peered inside, and then looked closer when I saw a familiar figure inside. Unable to resist, I opened the door and walked inside.

“Hey, stranger.”

He spun around and grinned at me. “Hey, fancy meeting you here.”

“Are you stalking me?” I asked with a sly grin.

He looked panicked for just a second before he cleared his throat and gave an awkward grin. “Just getting something for a pretty lady,” he said, pointing to the flowers.

“Oh,” I said, my smile faltering. Was he taking another woman out? Was he moving on? Maybe the sex was only that fantastic to me. However, I had told him it was over. What did I expect? But then we had so much fun at the bar, I just assumed he might call and try and set up another time to get together. But that never happened. It had been a week and I hadn’t heard a peep from him.

I nodded at the flowers, plastering a smile on my face. “Hot date?”

He shrugged slightly. “If you want to count my Ma coming into town.”

“Oh,” I said, somewhat relieved. Okay, extremely relieved. “That’s nice of you. I don’t actually know any men that buy their mother flowers.”

“Well, my Ma lives out of state. When she comes to visit, I have to make her see me as the better son.”

“And does that work?” I asked, chuckling slightly.

“Well, Eric is the golden boy and he has Kat. And then Robert just redeemed himself with Anna, so not sure how I can beat that. And let’s not forget Josh, the brother that came back from the dead.”

“Sounds like you have quite the competition.”

“Well, I still have Andrew and Joe. At least I think I still rank higher than them.”

“Ah, but the baby of the family always takes the cake.”

He huffed and lowered his head in defeat. “So, I’m screwed no matter what.”

“Well, you could always take a hot girl to meet your mother.
