She wanted to do one of Poppy’s famous booty shakes, but that would be slamming her hand on the immaturity button. Instead she pulled her phone out of her purse, unlocked it and handed it over.

He was typing something and then handed it back. She looked down and just saw the name Brooks in her contacts. She thought that was funny since in her mind that was all she thought of him as. Kind of like a celebrity. First name only.

“Your personal cell?”

“If you’re interested, text me when you get home. If not, no worries.”

“I wouldn’t have juststalkedyou in the store if I wasn’t interested,” she said and moved past him with those final words. He laughed again and climbed in his truck and pulled out while she was loading her items in the trunk.

Ivy started to drive home and realized she had to tell her sister something. Maybe having a roommate wasn’t that great of a thing.

The problem was, she didn’t want to tell Dahlia what she was doing and get a lecture for it.

What a shitty predicament.

By the time she got home, she figured out what she was going to say.

“You were gone longer than I thought for ice cream.”

“I met a guy,” she said.

“In the grocery store?” Dahlia asked. “Why am I not surprised?”

“Hey, it seems like it’s the only way to do things. He asked me out tonight. I figured it’s better than what I had planned for the night.”

Dahlia frowned. “You’re going out with someone you just ran into in the store. You don’t even know if they are local or a tourist.”

She could give just enough. “He’s local. I’ve seen him around before. And no, I’m not telling you anymore. You’re already sounding like a parent to me and you know how much I hate that.”

Dahlia bit her lip. “You’re right. You’re a big girl. Be careful. When are you leaving, where are you going and when will you be home?”

“I don’t know the answer to any of that. I need to text him. I won’t be out long,” she said. “Don’t worry. Could be a total dud.”

She didn’t expect that to happen. Not with the clothing she was putting on. He wanted a red thong and pumps and he was getting it.

He thought he could shock her and he was going to find out who got the shock tonight.

Something She Had To Offer

“What the fuck did I just do?” Brooks said to himself as he put his groceries away and looked around his house.

It wasn’t messy but should be cleaned up better if he was having company.

IfIvy reached out and since she was a hot tail on him in the store, he was pretty sure she was going to do that.

The fact she’d been so bold and joking about what she was doing gave him the license to do the same. He’d been kidding about the thong and pumps and something told him the joke would be on him.

She seemed the type to do exactly what he said.

And as much as he wanted to see her naked, they were going to talk first.

He wasn’t setting himself up for anything without everyone knowing the rules going in.

When the last of his items were put away, his phone went off and he picked it up to see a number without a name. He read the text.Still 2 or is it 3 now?

Still 2 or is it 1 now?he replied. Might as well let her know right away where his mind was at.
