Share Us
“Um, hi,” a feminine voice interrupted, pulling us from our serious discussion.
A gorgeous blonde woman stood at the end of the table, looking at each of us with hungry eyes.
“Hello,” Brian said and smiled.
“My friends and I have been watching y’all, and we were wondering if any of you might be single,” she said shamelessly. She hooked a thumb over her shoulder, and I leaned over to catch sight of two women waving from the bar. They were like her. Tall and beautiful. “If so, would y’all want to share a table with us.”
Brian shrugged and smiled. “Yeah, sure. I’m single.”
She beamed at him. “Awesome.” She turned and narrowed her eyes at me. “What about you, handsome?”
My eyebrows rose. I let my gaze roam over her large breasts and tiny waist. Her lips were pouty and shiny. She radiated “down” vibes I was usually drawn to when it came to random hookups. Too bad I wasn’t in a “hookup” type of mood. I wasn’t sure what was wrong with me, but this objectively attractive woman wasn’t doing much for me.
I wondered if that was because of my best friend’s little sister.
Shit, I had to stop thinking about her so much.
“Yeah, I’m down,” I said, eager for a distraction and to maybe help Brian out a bit. He was giving me thedon’t let me downstare, so I knew I had to be there for him.
Sean chuckled. “I guess this is my cue to leave and get home to Nicole.”
The woman pouted. “Aww, you’re married?”
“Engaged, actually,” he corrected.
“Well, congratulations,” she said. “Give her a nice big kiss for me. Lucky gal.”
He quirked an eyebrow. “Will do.”
Brian and I said goodbye to Sean and joined the women at a table. Marsha, who’d approached us, had pushed her chair directly next to mine. She placed her hand on my thigh and left it there as we talked. She was laying her claim, and I usually liked the straightforward approach, but something felt different tonight.
My mind kept drifting back to Sav, and I couldn’t help but feel like I was doing something wrong.
I grew agitated, wanting to disappear and head home. I stayed for Brian and did my service as his wingman.
After about an hour, he turned to the woman he’d been flirting with and asked point-blank if she wanted to get out of there. She smiled and nodded.
Marsha turned to me, waiting for an invitation.
“I think I’m going to head home, too,” I said. “Thanks for the lovely evening and chat, though.”
She frowned. “Seriously?”
I nodded, putting my hand up to my temple. “Yeah, sorry. I have a headache, and it keeps getting worse.”
She bit her lip. “You know orgasms are the best medicine, right?”
I laughed and shook my head. “I appreciate the offer, but I need a good night’s sleep.”
Marsha and her remaining friend looked at each other for a moment in disbelief. She removed her hand from my thigh. “All right. Hope you feel better.” She kissed my cheek. “And maybe we’ll see you here again before we leave town.”
I forced myself to smile. “Yeah, maybe.” I knew it wasn’t likely I’d change my mind about her. I threw some cash down on the table to cover the drinks and tip as we stood. “Have a good night.”
“Bye, Chris,” they said and wandered over to the bar.
I sighed heavily, feeling conflicted. I couldn’t imagine going through with taking her home. Not when my thoughts were still wrapped up in someone else.
I hated feeling used, so I didn’t want to do that to anyone else either. If I was going to hook up with someone, I wanted them to be on my mind. Not another woman.
