“I was eighteen--my birthday present to myself. It’s actually the only tattoo that Levi didn’t do.” I pull up the sleeve of my shirt to show her the tattoo. It is my name written on the neck of a guitar. I love this tattoo with the way the strings of the guitar are pressed under my name like it is fingers. She is staring at it and looks up at me with wide eyes.
“That is a gorgeous tattoo, Cooper. Do you play?” I let my sleeve fall back into place and fold my hands on the table.
“I can play. I don’t play in public or anything though. I have a Gibson J-45 that my dad bought me for my sixteenth birthday. I had been taking lessons, getting better and better so he wanted me to have a good guitar.” She has a look of such interest on her face.
“That is amazing. I always wanted to learn how to play, but I never got around to taking lessons or anything. I would love to hear you play. Do you write your own music or do you just play others?” I grin at her excitement. I’ve been with a lot of girls that think it’s hot that I play, but Emma likes the fact that I play because she loves music.
“I’ve written just a couple of my own songs. Like I said, I can play but I don’t do it in public. If you’d like, I could show you the basics of playing sometime. I showed Levi, but he still sucks.” I laugh thinking about all the times I’ve tried to teach him how to play. He just thought it would be a good way to get chicks, so he was a fucking horrible student. I would love to show Emma though. She practically bounces out of her seat when I tell her I would teach her. She has a huge smile on her face.
“I would love to learn sometime, Cooper.” The waitress drops off the bill a
nd I grab it before she even thinks about it. “How much do I owe?” She is digging in her purse, looking for money I assume.
“What are your plans for tonight?” She looks up at me with her eyebrows drawn in. I know I threw her off with that question, but I need to get to the bar and I would love for her to come in tonight.
“Umm, I have no plans for tonight. How much do I owe for lunch though?” She laughs. I pull out my money and drop it down on the table before looking over at her.
“Lunch is on me, doll.” She goes to protest, but I continue to talk over her. “If you have no plans tonight, I have a live band coming into the bar at ten o’clock. They play a little bit of everything; they’ve played there before. I think you would really like them.” We both stand up, and I grab her hand to walk out of the restaurant. We get out into the parking lot, and I walk her to her car. We stop in front of her jeep.
“Thank you for lunch, Cooper. I will see if Rowan wants to take a ride tonight to the bar. I think it sounds amazing.” I pull her to me and gently press my lips to hers. She opens her mouth and I take advantage. Once our tongues touch and I get her taste, I can’t control myself. I roughly pull her closer, grabbing onto her ass. She does the same, moaning into my mouth. Her moan spurs me on. I lift her, sitting her on the hood of her jeep. I step in-between her legs, pressing my hard cock against her. She runs her hands up into my hair, pulling slightly. I growl and pull back. I need to stop this before I end up fucking her on the hood of her truck in broad day light. I rest my forehead against hers and sigh.
“Emma, please try to make it tonight. I’d really like to spend more time with you.” She presses a kiss to my lips and runs her hands down my face.
“I’ll be there.” With that we share one more quick kiss and I wait until she is safely in her jeep before I walk off to get in my truck. Damn it, I think I’m going to have to take a cold shower when I get home because my dick is so hard it is making it difficult to drive.
AFTER MY AMAZING LUNCH WITH Cooper, I called Rowan and asked her to come over. I’m sure she will be excited to go out tonight, so I figured if we were already at my place, we could just get ready easier since she will want me to do her hair anyway. I’m sitting on the couch waiting for her and thinking about my lunch with Cooper. At the concert, I was physically attracted to him, but after this lunch, I can honestly say that the attraction is so much more. Not only is he hot as hell with his muscles, tattoos, and his incredibly handsome face, but now I know about some of his life. With the way he takes care of his mom, even though he didn’t say much about it, I can tell he is an unbelievable son. The loss of his father is heartbreaking, but his stepping up to the plate like he has just proves he is a great man. When he showed me his guitar tattoo, I wanted to lick it. His tattoos are so unbelievably sexy. Listening to him talk, the way his muscles flexed while he was moving had my pussy aching to be touched. When he kissed me goodbye, I felt my panties getting wet when he pushed his cock against me. I’m glad he pulled away because in that moment I wouldn’t have cared if I was naked as long as he was fucking me. A knock on the door pulls me from my dirty thoughts.
“Hello?” Rowan obviously has a key to my apartment.
“Hey, Ro.” She plops down on my ugly blue couch and turns to face me. She has a smile on her face.
“Well, don’t be a bitch, tell me about lunch.” I laugh and fill her in on everything. “Wow, Em, he sounds even more amazing.” I can’t help the huge smile on my face.
“Seriously, he really is amazing. He invited us to his bar tonight, and there is going to be a live band there. What do you say? Do you want to go? Please say yes because I really want to see him again.” She throws a pillow at my head to make me shut up.
“Duh, of course we are going to go. Maybe his hottie friend, Hunter, will be there.” I raise my eyebrow at her.
“Ro, you wanted nothing to do with him at the end of the concert. Why the hell would you want him to be there?” She throws her head back and sighs. She is looking at the ceiling but decides to answer me.
“Honestly, I don’t know what my problem is. I think he is hot as hell, but every time he tried to make a move I pushed him away.” She finally turns her head to look at me.
“Why do you think that is? Is there someone else you are interested in, someone from work?” Maybe she just needs a little shove in that direction.
“I thought maybe I could get something going with Bruce, but I found out yesterday before the concert that he has a fiancé. I guess I’m just upset about it, but I want to be with someone. Maybe Hunter is just the guy.” My poor friend. We both have the shittiest luck with guys. She may be right. Hunter could be someone that she could try to be with. I rest my head next to hers and give her a sad smile.
“Listen Ro, I think the best thing for you is to try to move on. I figured you had something holding you back. How about you just go tonight with the intention of having a good time? We’ll take a cab, get our drink on, and have some laughs. What do you say?” She reaches over and gives me a one-arm hug.
“You’re right; let’s just go and have a good time. Whatever happens, happens. Now let’s start to get ready. I’ll shower here and borrow an outfit.” I laugh at her excitement.
“Girl, we have hours. How about we relax and order a pizza for dinner, then we can start to get ready?”
We spend the next several hours watching an all-day marathon of Sandra Bullock movies, eating pizza, and just hanging out on the couch. After Hope Floats is over, we decide that we need to start getting ready for our night. I shower first, because let’s face it, if I don’t, I’ll never have enough time after doing her hair. I made sure to shave within an inch of my life, just in case, and scrub my body twice. I just want to make sure. I’m now sitting on my bed blow drying my hair. I figure I’m going to throw in some curls tonight. I’ve got my cut-off jean shorts laid out with a red tank top with sequins. I’m going to pair it with my red cowboy boots.
Once my hair is dry, I put the tank top on before curling it, this way I won’t mess up my hair. I am halfway through curling my hair when Rowan comes in the bedroom with a towel on her head and one around her body. She walks over to my closet and starts flipping through it. I laugh as I continue with the curls. “Rowan, what are you looking for?” She turns around to look at me.
“I wanted to wear your blue strapless dress and your black heels.” I roll my eyes. Of course, she wants to get dressed up. I’m more about comfort, but Rowan will suffer through the heels just to look good.
“It is right next to the green one; just move it over.” She pulls it out of the closet and steps into it.
