My friends sucked. The second I walked into the building, they started grilling me about both of my dates. When I told them about the disaster with Maron, they perked up with interest. When I told them about Cherry, I'd expected them to perk up with even more interest, but both of them gave me disgusted looks and questioned me on whether she was really what I wanted.

"Of course this is what I want. I don't want to be tied down to someone who wants to know where I'm at or what I'm doing every second of every day."

Shaw opened his mouth to interrupt, but I held a finger up and continued. "I want to go where I want, do what I want, and spend what I want. I have no desire to be tied down to a woman."

"I don't think you know anything at all about women," Shaw said after I finished my rant.

Jeremy snorted with laughter. "Not that we have a lot of room to talk," he said with a wide grin. "We are both as single as the day is long. But we are also not complete idiots. If you decide to pursue Cherry, you're going to have a miserable life. A partner is someone you want to come home and talk to. Not watch pick at their unseasoned fish every single dinner for the rest of your days."

"She only eats fish two days a week."

Shaw's eyebrows rose. "She seems... interesting."

"Yeah," Jeremy chimed in. "Have fun with Elsa."

Shaw chuckled. "Elsa has a personality, at least."

"Anna would be way more fun," Jeremy said. "She's got a fire in her. Even spurned, she kept going. Plus," he waggled his eyebrows, "she's a redhead."

I cringed. "So is Maron. It looks horrible." But the words didn't ring true to me anymore.

Jeremy shook his head. "We both think this is a mistake. Listen, you don't have to end up with Maron. From everything you're saying, you don't even seem to like her. But look at it this way. At least you're passionate about her and your intense dislike. When you talk about Cherry, you seem strangely cold about the entire thing."

"Yeah, dude, invest in some heaters because you're bed is going to be really chilly if you have Miss Ice Queen sleeping in it."

"I hate you both," I said. My gaze wandered over to the barista booth and I noticed the grumpy one was there again today. When she caught me looking, she flipped me a double bird. I laughed out loud and gave a nonchalant wave.

"I can't believe she hasn't gotten fired yet."

Jeremy shrugged. "She's entertaining and her line is busy all day. It's like people line up to hear her insult them."

"My kind of woman," Shaw said under his breath.

The mug Jeremy was holding slowed until it was right in front of his lips. "Seriously? You have the hots for the crabby coffee lady?"

"She's hot in a cult kind of way,” I said. “Like a rock star and a wicked witch copulated and had a freakishly smart goth baby.
