A magnolia flower sits beside my black clutch. Fuck him, I grin. I hate magnolias.
Glancing into my bathroom, a note is written in lipstick on the mirror, and I walk in.
You’re looking at the most
beautiful woman alive.
Be ready at 7.
It’s a date.
With an Asshole
Looking back at my bed, I’m shocked. How did he have time to buy those? A new pair of white lace panties and a matching bra are there too.
What’s this sensation?
Hope. Romance. My first date with anyone.
With Redix.
I check my phone and have four hours to get ready and a text.
PENNY
Why do I feel like you’re about to get your heart broken?
Again!
It takes her one ring to answer. “Please tell me it’s not true.”
“Let me guess; Jameson has a big mouth.”
“Jameson has a broken heart.”
“I never promised him anything, and we never even kissed. And thank God,” I say, “because we work together and have nine unsolved cases and—”
“And you have a hot, jealous, unstable, famous ex-fiancé who no man can compete with,” Penny adds before I can keep explaining why this bad risk is a good idea.
“I love him, Penny.” I watch my face in the mirror say it; never have I looked more certain. “We have a lot to work out, but I need to give us a chance.”
Silence.
I hear Nina crying in the background.
“Is this his only chance?” Penny finally speaks. “Promise me this is the last one.”
“I promise.”
Do I really? Will I ever be over Redix?
I hear her pick Nina up. “Did you at least fuck him? Please tell me you did so some of this would be worth it.”
“Not really.”
I start rummaging through my makeup drawer.
“How do you not really fuck Redix Dean? One hundred and thirty million of his followers would.”
