“Spill it, woed

I walked over to join hi for juicy info that I don’t have Mase has been a nice guy Nothing to feed your fantasies, I’m afraid”

Jimmy cocked an eyebrow “Really? Not one little kiss?”

“Uh, no” I sputtered, surprised he would even ask me that

He dug into the ice creaht I’d know if he wasn’t And any straight single man would be on you like white on rice” He paused and let out a sigh “Dale Didn’t think about that Well, crap I was so hoping you were about to get some action with a piece of Grade A meat”

I cringed and laughed at the sa I felt a little sick Or deflated The idea of Mase having a girlfriend didn’t sit ith ht I had a chance or that I even wanted a chance But he made me feel safe and normal

“I figured you hadn’t dated because you were picky and no one was up to snuff Mase is up to everyone’s snuff, so I thought you’d scored a winner Sucks to know that ain’t the case Pickings around here are sli ticked off the list rapidly” Ji bite of ice cream like he was the one as depressed over this situation

I had lost my appetite

“I was so sure, too He juo find you and drive you hoood-bye He justyou to your clients He didn’t see Then he bolted” Jimmy waved his spoon “Would have betlike ht where they are”

On that note, I decided to take a bite of ice cream

“There you go Eat the creaoodness, and let’s talk aboutMy man has a cousin who is fine He lives about an hour away, but he is pretty damn close to Grade A” I started to open mysound at ood guy I know hi happen that you weren’t perfectly OK with He’s refined I think you’d like hiht now, and he hardly has tio out,women is still hard for him He likes to keep his work separate from his personal life So he needs a date”

A doctor? There was no way I could date a man as that smart I couldn’t even read the dinner menu My hands would sweat, and my vision would blur from panic No, I couldn’t But Ji able to say yes Not being able to meet new people and trust that if they found out, they wouldn’t judge me or ridicule me

“You need to do this, and I would be right there beside you I don’t want to know anything you don’t want to share within your past is bad shit I can see it in the way you live I’ve been close enough and watched you enough Every daet your attention You flee like the bats of hell are on your heels So you aren’t hiding it from me I see you And I think whatever is in your past that’s screwing up the present needs to be laid to rest I’ether”

This was tooto help ht I’d never trust
