He would be here for months.
“So, the email,” he prodded. “I want to make those things happen. I want to do that with you.”
I nodded. “Okay, well, I’m just the assistant and like I said, I can go over the schedule. The math again, but I feel confident it’s accurate.” I didn’t want to add that, but he was now not only my boss’s boss, but he was now my boss. God, that barely made any sense. The last thing I wanted to do was remind him of my freakish abilities with numbers because I’d be seeing him every day.
“I’m talking about the other email.”
“The other–” My face flushed so hotly I was surprised the pink t-shirt didn’t catch fire. “Oh God.”
“Tell me, Bridget.” He moved to stand in front of me, crossed his arms over his chest. “Who the hell is Jake Ryan?”

BRIDGET

Who is Jake Ryan?
Oh my God, he was jealous of a movie character. I tried not to smile, biting my lower lip.
“Boyfriend?”
I shook my head.
“Fuck buddy?”
I was so stunned by the term that I huffed out a laugh. “What?”
“You heard me. I want to know what I’m up against here.”
I stared at him, blinked. Blinked again. “You… you think you have competition?”
He shrugged. “You put his name down on an anonymous sex quiz as the guy you want to fuck.”
“He’s the guy in the movie Sixteen Candles. It’s an eighties classic.”
He stared at me like I was crazy. Eyes wide, mouth hanging a little open. Clearly, he needed more details.
“Samantha Baker fills out a sex quiz in study hall and instead of it getting to her best friend, Jake Ryan, her dream guy, picks it up and reads it. He becomes curious about her,” I explained. There were so many side stories to the movie, I made sure to stay focused on the important parts. “This is because she put his name on it as the guy she wants to do it with. Plus, it’s her sixteenth birthday and her family forgets. And… well, you know it?”
He scratched the back of his neck. “The movie?”
I nodded.
“No.”
“Oh, well, then you should see it. It’s good.”
“Why are you completing a sex quiz?” he asked.
It was a really good question.
I sighed and glanced at the office door. “Mallory’s a little crazy, if you didn’t notice. We watched the movie recently and she got the ridiculous idea that all of her friends should complete a sex quiz and we’d share the answers at girls’ night. Which is tonight.”
“So you two took the movie plot more seriously than the others.”
I frowned, then realized what he meant. “You mean me filling it out and it actually getting into the wrong person’s hands? Definitely.”
