“I don’t know how the hell you knew that, but yes, I did meet someone. He seems like a great guy.” She pulls out a chair, hands me a coffee, and tells me to spill. I tell her everything, well not the sexual things, but everything else.

“Emma, that is so romantic. He does sound like a great guy. When are you going to see him again?” Romantic I’m not sure about, hot as hell, yes totally. I think of the love bites he left and need to cross my legs to relieve the pressure I am starting to feel just from the thought of it.

“He wanted me to call him after work to figure that all out.” She gives me a nod and gets up to put her coffee cup in the sink.

“Alright, let’s get out there. We open in five minutes.” She walks out and I need to take a second because I’ve gotten myself turned on with just thinking about last night.

I’m finally on my way home. I don’t think work could have gone any slower. It was not busy and my tips sucked. I checked the clock just about every ten minutes. I’ve never been in a rush like that to get out of work, but I just can’t get Cooper out of my mind.

I pull into my spot in the parking garage and make my way to my apartment. I walk in to find Rowen still there. She is sitting on the couch, laughing at whatever she is watching on TV. I close the door and she looks up at me. “Hey, Em. How was work?” I shake my head walking over to sit down next to her on the ugly blue couch. I pull my legs under me and turn to face her.

“It was long. I couldn’t wait to get out of there.” She looks at me with wide eyes and a smirk on her face.

“Holy shit. That is so out of character for you. Were you thinking about Cooper and his sexy, tattooed body?” She laughs and I hit her with a throw pillow.

“You’re an idiot, but yes. I was thinking about Cooper. It’s crazy how I just met him and I can’t stop thinking about him. Is that weird?” She mutes the TV before turning to face me.

“No, Em, it’s not weird at all. You are attracted to him, and I think it is totally normal. You just never get that way over a guy. So since I don’t remember getting home last night, I can’t remember if you told me. Did you guys have sex?” I roll my eyes and proceed to tell her everything that happened last night. When I’m done she is just staring at me.

“What? Why the hell are you looking at me like that?” She starts to smile and hit my leg.

“Holy shit, I’m horny just listening to that story. Let me see the love bites.” I grab a pillow and hold it against my breasts.

“No. Get the fuck out of here.” This time she rolls her eyes.

“Don’t be such a prude. I’m not going to add to them. I just want to see them.” This girl doesn’t give a shit. She’ll pull her tits out anytime, but I’m a bit more modest. I also know if I don’t show her, she will pull my shirt down herself. I blow out a huff and pull up my shirt to show her. “Fuck, that is hot.” She goes to touch them and I smack her hand, dropping my shirt.

“Damn it Ro, don’t try to touch my tits.” She gets up off the couch laughing, heading to the kitchen.

“Alright you prude, what do you want for dinner? I’ll treat since you put up with my drunk ass last night.” We decide to order Chinese food and watch a movie. While we wait for our food, she tells me all about Roy. She also told me that as much as she wanted to go home with him, she wasn’t sure it was the best idea. She was a bit turned off by the way he was flirting with all the other women. I told her it is probably for his job, but I know she is looking for someone who only sees her. Shit, who isn’t looking for that? There is a knock on the door and my cell phone rings at the same time.

“I’ll get the food, and you get your phone.” I grab my phone and answer without even looking.

“Hello?”

“Hey, doll.” His voice alone has my nipples getting hard.

“Hey, cowboy. I was going to call you after Rowan left. What’s up?”

“Not much. Just sitting here waiting to hear from some beautiful girl I met. I can’t seem to get her off my mind.” I actually feel myself blush.

“Well, I actually seem to be having the same problem. I met this hot cowboy, covered in tattoos, that knows how to play guitar and owns a bar. He’s been on my mind for a few days now, not to mention he left behind some marks that would make it impossible not to remember.” He gives me a full belly laugh, which makes my heart pound in my chest.

“Em, food is here. Let’s eat,” Rowan says while setting up the containers on my coffee table. I look over at her and shake my head ‘yes’ before holding up my finger to indicate I’ll just be a minute. I get up to talk in my room.

“Well that guy sounds pretty fucking great. If I were you, I would totally let him take you out to dinner tomorrow.” I lay down on my bed and stare at the ceiling.

“If he asked me, I would definitely say yes.” We both laugh this time and I’ll admit, I’m actually getting turned on. I’m getting turned on just from his voice and the idea of going out with him.

“Emma, I would love to take you out to dinner tomorrow around five, if that’s not too early. I need to be back at the bar at seven though.” Damn, I don’t get out of work until five.

“Cooper, I would love to go out to dinner but I don’t get out of work until five tomorrow.” I hear him blow out a breath before he speaks again.

“Alright, how about I make you dinner? That way I’ll already be here and I’ll have Roy cover for a bit.” I love the fact that he wants to see me so badly that he is willing to make me dinner.

“I think that sounds like a great idea. I’ll be there around five thirty if that is alright.”

“Doll, that is perfect.”
