Although, I did see her in the lobby of the building with a scrawny blond-haired guy a couple of weeks ago

“Rich,” she says

I have no idea if that’s a new ter if I’ht, but I’m not Roman rich

“Rich?” I repeat back, hoping to lure a little clarity out of her or another of those tiny breathy sounds because my cock noticed that

“Rich Rochester” She rolls her big blue eyes “He’s my friend’s cousin She tried to set me up with him”

I hold in the overwhele I have to yank her phone out of her hand and bury it in the salad bowl in the center of the table I wouldn’t destroy it I kno fucking hard it is to set up a new phone I don’t wish that shit on anyone

Well, maybe on Rich Rochester What the fuck kind of name is that?

Rubbing at my forehead, I level my tone “You’re not interested?”

“He showed up here in the lobby with flowers and a box of condoht”

Goddammit

If Rochesterrole of taking her virginity, I swear to fuck ht explode

There’s no way in hell a guy who carts around an entire box of condo in bed

You hide a few in a pocket - more than that is overkill

“He what now?”

I have no clue why I ask that I don’t need to hear about Rochester and his condoht now, they’re far outside my reach

“I sent him away” She adds a flick of her wrist to accentuate the point “I would never have sex with him”

Hallelujah

“He wants to see ain “We have some stuff in common Maybe I should meet up with him to talk”

Sweet naïve Faith wants to lend Rochester a hand

Rochester, on the other hand, likely wants another shot with her

“When does he want to get together?”

I co those words out in a sohtly that I’ all the money my mother invested in braces into jeopardy

“Tonight”

That doesn’t work for me because I don’t want the condom clown anywhere near her

I offer an alternative because an honorable man will do whatever it takes to protect the fairfor out of the reach of another man’s arms
