Screw stable. She wanted exciting and she had a feeling that was exactly what she’d get with her best friend’s brother.

Make A Decision
The last thing Jonah wanted was a woman in his life trying to get him to be someone he wasn’t.
Been there, done that and he still had the scars mentally and physically from it.
He didn’t think Megan was like Molly, but until they talked some more he wouldn’t know that.
Then he had to tell himself not to get worked up over the fact he wasn’t her type.
One thing he had to know before they went much further. “Are you only here because you think it’s rebelling against your parents now?”
“No,” she said. “Seriously. It’s not. I was just thinking to myself that I’m going to screw being stable. Or looking for stable.”
“You don’t think I’m stable?” he asked, crossing his arms. This was getting worse in his eyes.
“I’m making a huge mess of this. If your sister knew we were here, she’d be telling you I’m not like the way I’m coming across. You might think I’m the unstable one.”
He wasn’t sure what to make of her smile. He didn’t know what was serious and what wasn’t. “We’ll get to Raina later, but explain that more now.”
“This is so embarrassing. Not as embarrassing as the faceplant in heels and a mini skirt. I’m pretty sure my friends saw my hoochie that night. I was wearing a thong because, you know, trying to be more mature.”
He held back the gulp at that comment. He already had enough visuals in his mind of her that one more might send him over the edge and make him ask her back to his place for the remaining time they had left.
No, she wasn’t the type for that. She’d said it and he’d long since outgrown it.
“Focus, Megan.”
“Sorry. You make me nervous.”
“I find that hard to believe. You seem to be in control at all times.”
“Hardly. I try to be. I was the last few times we’ve been together. But right now, this is making me nervous because it’s the part where we find out about each other and make a decision. I don’t want to ruin it.”
Which alone told him more than he expected and he softened his stance. “I don’t think you can. Go back to your stable comment.”
“My parents always told me I needed someone stable in my life like my sisters got. Trying to put me in that round hole even though I’ve always felt like a square peg.”
“I can see that. Now you’re deciding it’s time to do your own thing?” he asked.
“Nothing else is working. Sometimes I think I just try too hard on top of it. The first few times we were together. The Jack and Jill party in May, the rehearsal party and wedding in July. I wasn’t trying. I was just being me.”
“I like you. Or I like that part of you,” he said.
She let out a breath. “Thank God. It’s easier to be that person.”
“Who were you a couple of nights ago when you showed up at my gym and then the workout together?”
“That was me still being relaxed. I think I was in take-charge mode. We were going back and forth and it was fun. I like having fun. But this sit-down thing is more formal. I think this is where I have the issues.”
“Then we keep it fun and not formal. I’m not sure what about me gave off I’m a formal person.”
“You’re right. I need to go back to that. Before we move on though, I know you own your own business and your schedule is crazy busy. I don’t think I’m a controlling person, but I don’t want to have to fight to see someone that I’m interested in either. Most people don’t work seven days a week. What are your thoughts there?”
“I make my own schedule. Since I don’t have a ton going on in my personal life I fill it with work. Doesn’t mean I have to. My schedule is pretty tight for the rest of the month, but I think I can work some things out, rearrange some too. If you decide you want that.”
