“Come on That was hilarious” She chuckled She walked into the kitchen and set two cups down Reaching for the coffee pot, she filled thely over her long legs, down to her bare feet

She carried over both coffees, going back for creaht before—or the night at the cabin And now all I wanted to do was rip that robe off her and feel myself inside her

“Coop?”

I reddened, e

“I’m sorry, what?”

“I asked what your plans are for the day” She looked atsuspiciously

“Uh, busy day today I’ll be home pretty late I think You?” I asked My day was pretty quiet I had no clients, and not much planned

"I'," she announced "Then I have an afternoon shift Speaking of which, I had better get going or I’ll be late” She stood up, leaving nore the aard tension that was hanging in the air

Thinking about what Beth had said to ht I needed to spend tis for her What better way to do that than taking her out to dinner? I picked up my phone and texted her

Are you free tonight?

I waited impatiently for her to reply After twopoint I stood up, deciding to go for a run Just as I was about to head out the door, My phone buzzed I eagerly dug it out like a kid on Christ

Are you asking me out, Coop?

I laughed, unable to hide iddy feeling I got when I thought about her I quickly texted back

What would you say if I was?
