Chapter Twelve

Jillian

Finn was on the warpath all week. Cranky. Not his usual cheerful self, and I hated to think I had anything to do with it.

Who was I kidding?

It was my fault.

But I’d panicked.

Completely panicked.

The way he made me feel was out of this world, and not just because he was insanely talented in areas that God should never bless a man with when he looked that good in a suit, but because I’d felt something for the first time in my life.

A real connection.

The spark of possibility.

And hope that maybe there was someone out there for me, and his name was Finn Titus.

And then I thought about getting fired. The great Finn Titus was loaded—he could survive anything and everything.

This job meant the world to me.

I still had student loans.

My dad had been laid off last year, and I wanted to help out.

And on top of that, I was the only one who would and could lose in that scenario. I mean, my last boyfriend dumped me right after sex.

Right. After.

It hadn’t been our first time, but he’d left saying he’d had better and that he’d found someone else but just wanted to make sure.

Ass!

Maybe it wasn’t totally fair to Finn, but he had to see it my way! Instead, he left like a spoiled child who didn’t get his way or even ask why I was so worried!

He’d grunted in my direction when I’d said where to meet for our dates, and I was seriously worried when he didn’t even text me when I was late.

I showed up at Blue Toro on the Pier and saw that he was already chatting excitedly with a girl who had gorgeous red hair and a brilliant smile.

With a groan, I stomped into the restaurant and cleared my throat behind Finn.

He turned and gave me a funny look. “Hey, you’re late.”

“I texted.”

“Oh.” He looked down at the phone IN HIS HAND and shrugged. “Sorry.”

“This your date?” I said through clenched teeth at the gorgeous supermodel standing in front of the mere mortal.

The girl burst out laughing and waved her left hand in my face. “Sorry, already taken. He’s just taking care of the bill, and I saw an old friend.”

She looked vaguely familiar.

And then a guy that graced the cover of way too many ESPN magazines in the last eight years approached.

“Wes Michels.” I gulped. Quarterback for the Hawks and quite possibly one of the most gorgeous men alive, though Finn looked like he could be a brother.

Stupid good-looking humans.

Why, God, why?

“Hey.” Wes held out his hand. “I’m Wes, and you?”

“Jillian.” Luckily, I was used to good-looking men with charming smiles. “I’m with this one.” I pointed at Finn. “We’re testing out the Wingmen App.”

“Ahhhh.” Wes nodded. “Ian and Lex still plotting world domination?”

Finn laughed. “You know it.”

“They started school my senior year, and I’ll never get over how the girls threw themselves at them, I played with Ian before his injury,” Wes explained. “Before all the crazy shit, he was really talented.
