He always looks amazing.
I had already showered and was wearing my pajamas. I decided to put a bra underneath my tank. I usually leave the girls free, but I didn’t want to give him a free show and all.
I found it hilarious that I had to explain reality shows to him. He didn’t really like reality TV, so we flicked through channels and settled on a show about baking. He was actually watching the bakers in awe. He would make quiet comments like, “Would you look at that?” and “That looks great. ” I found it so adorable that I burst into laughter a few times. I couldn’t help but ask, “Why don’t you own a TV?”
He shrugged before explaining, “Never really understood sitting down and watching someone else live their life when we should be living ours. I watch things on the internet, but I’ve never sat down for entire episodes of a TV show before. But I like cooking channels. ”
So we spent almost five hours watching the cooking channel.
And, surprisingly, I enjoyed it.
We ate ice cream out of the same tub and would chat on occasion, but really, we just enjoyed each other’s company in silence for the most part. When I peeked at the clock and saw it was almost midnight, I told Ghost to go home. He looked disappointed, so I told him he could stay til his cooking show was finished. I think I surprised us both when I kissed the top of his head and went to my room. I heard him leave about ten minutes later through the back patio way.
I wondered how he locks that door from the outside. I’ll have to ask him.
Within minutes, I was catching Zs.
This morning, I woke to the smell of coffee.
Confused, I got out of bed and saw a large coffee and a brown paper bag on my kitchen counter. I walked over to it and saw a note paper poking out from under the paper bag. I unfolded the paper and read to myself.
Sorry I kept you up last night. I think you’ll need the coffee this morning. I got you a muffin to say thanks for breakfast yesterday.
I’m smiling like an idiot. I fold the note and put it in my fruit bowl, then I get ready for work.

Today is going to be a good day.
I woke to the wonderful smell of coffee, had a delicious blueberry muffin for breakfast and tonight I’m going on a date with a hot guy.
Eeek!
I’m excited!
I didn’t bother waxing my vajayjay. If I did, it would be as if I’m expecting to get laid tonight, and I’m not. Tonight is going to be two people getting to know eac
h other.
I feel like I’ve got the best of both worlds right now. Ghost is my newest friend and Cole is my hottie non-boyfriend.
After lunch, the girls cornered me to ask questions about tonight. Mimi starts with, “Who is this guy?”
I answer, “His name is Cole Lewis. He’s thirty-two and a personal trainer. A total hottie. ”
Lola smiles. “Nice! Where’s he taking you?”
I shrug. “I’m not sure. He just asked for my address so I’ll find out when he comes to get me. ”
Tina claps her hands together and loudly whispers, “He was a total hottie! Nik told me to stop staring but I couldn’t. He’s just…Wow! I hope it goes well tonight, hon. ”
Mimi frowns as she clarifies, “You don’t know where you’re going with someone you just met?” She shakes her head vigorously. “No. Not happening. You text all of us where you’re going as soon as you find out. ”
I move over to Meems, put an arm around her shoulder and try to soothe her doubts. “Hey, it’s okay. He doesn’t seem like a jerk or anything. Just the opposite, in fact. ”
Mimi shrugs my arm off her shoulder and retorts, “Yeah, well we’re not taking any chances. Omarr didn’t look like a psychopath either, but he had no problem kidnapping Tina and putting matching bullets in her and Nik. ” She looks me in the eye and says sternly, “Did you forget they almost died?”
My stomach dips.
