“Do I need to get tested?”
“What? No! I always used a condom. And I told you, I was tested at my last physical and haven’t been with anyone but you since.”
That seemed to surprise her because she pulled her head back and asked, “Really?”
“Yeah—we talked about this. It’s only been a few weeks since we were together, Sunshine.” Then a thought occurred to him. “Have you really not been with anyone else?”
“No, I haven’t.”
He liked that answer, until she added, “I haven’t had time.”
She drained her glass and motioned for another when Joyce walked by, then turned to him with a sigh.
“Look, I know you’re a single guy and have every right to screw as many women as you want. I’d just prefer not to have it thrown in my face when I’m out with you, that’s all. But I also understand there’s nothing you can do about it, so how about we forget we ran into Chelsea and Jenna and just try to have fun tonight? Casual starts Monday.”
Why did this feel like a trap? Was she really going to let it go that easily?
“I can get on board with that.”
“Good, now let’s order. I’m dying to try these cheeseburgers you’ve been talking about.”
Definitely a trap.

Of course, Aiden dated other women. He was single, why shouldn’t he? And starting Monday, he was free to again without her having an opinion about it.
I’m free to date whoever I want too, she reminded herself.
Still, it didn’t mean she had to like it when women he’d been with threw themselves at him in front of her.
But they’d agreed they were together this weekend, and she was going to enjoy it.
The server put their dinners down in front of them.
“I’m glad I ordered the same thing as you, otherwise I might have dinner envy. This looks amazing.”
He picked up his burger using two hands. “Wait ‘til you taste it.”
She took a bite and closed her eyes, moaning, “So good,” with her mouth full.
Opening her eyes, she found him watching her with a goofy smile, and she immediately wiped her mouth with her napkin.
“What? Do I have food on my face?”
He shook his head. “No, nothing like that. I just like how you’re not afraid to show when you enjoy something.”
She thought about it for a second as she swallowed another bite. “I suppose I do. But I don’t see the point in trying to hide joy.”
He shook his head with a smile. “Sunshine and rainbows…”
“And don’t you forget it.”
“I couldn’t if I tried, Sunshine.”
