Jacob wasn’t home when I got back from Jay’s pub, but that was okay. For once, I wanted to keep this information about Alex to myself and mull it over before spilling it to my best friend.

I learned a lot about Alex tonight. He is even more arrogant than I thought, and strangely, it doesn’t bother me like it should. He knows how to kiss like nobody’s business, nobody’s. He proved to be overprotective or very attentive as he put it when he dropped everything to come and meet with me. He’s somewhat guarded—I could feel it when there was a pause in the conversation. It was like he was on the verge of saying more, but at the last second, he thought better of it.

The most important thing I learned tonight is that Alex is the epitome of all the things I have never wanted in a man. Yet, I am more attracted to him now than ever. What is that all about?

Okay, maybe I do need Jacob. Where is he anyway? I went straight to my room to change when I got home and didn’t stop in the kitchen to see if he’d left a note. I make my way through the spacious loft apartment flipping on lights as I go. Everything is clean and tidy, no thanks to me. Jacob is the neat freak of this little family. He has more time to put the sugar bowl back in the cupboard and line up boots next to the front door on the shoe mat than I do.

I’m like a tornado when I come home dumping coats and shoes and bags, and barreling toward the bathroom to pee or my bedroom to change. It’s like tunnel vision. I know where I’m going and how to get there, but I leave a mess in my quake. But I’m working on it, and for that, Jacob is grateful.

There’s no note on the large kitchen island. I glance into the living room, and there’s nothing on the coffee table either. Maybe he text me, and I didn’t notice? I slide my phone from my pants pocket and look at the screen. Yep, there it is. I knew he wouldn’t let me worry.

Jacob – Went out for drinks with Gabe at Candies. Come join us when you get off work.

Oh no. I am not being lured out on the town tonight. I’m still recovering from earlier this week, and I have to go out again tomorrow night. I shoot him a text thanking him for the invitation and using a long, busy day and tired feet as an excuse to stay home.

I grab a glass of wine and wander into the office that Jacob and I share. I plunk down in the plush desk chair and prop my feet up on the corner of the desk. Who would have thought a poor girl from one of California’s worst towns would end up living this life? I own my own business that is flourishing and on the verge of becoming a chain.
