C I . I ,
Rose bumps into my back, nudging me forward into the room.
Guys. Hot-large-guys. And lots of them. They fill the waiting room.
Most are standing, some are sitting, but they’re all yelling, cheering, and it’s
focused on us.
I’m speechless. Not once in my life have I walked into a room to this
sort of reaction. I’m not sure how to respond, but their greeting is like a
wave of energy, so I lift my hands in the air with a little wiggle as I sing
song, “Hey.”
“Stop.” Rose tugs on my hand as the cheers melt into laughter. “What
are you doing?”
I drop my arms, noticing too late the man who’s entered behind us. I
don’t know how I missed him; he’s a big dude. I only come up to his chest.
His eyes are shaded under the brim of his dark snapback, but he’s smiling,
dimples showing in that strong jaw line.
He’s still holding the door open since I’m still standing in the entrance
making a complete fool of myself.
“Sorry,” I squeak out between embarrassed laughter as I shuffle my feet,
trying to scoot Rose and I further into the shop, unable to take my eyes off
that beautiful face.
It’s clear now that the cheers had been for him, but he’s ignoring his fan
club at the moment, still looking down at Rose and me.
“Honest mistake, you know? People get so excited when I show up; I
thought this was for me. But, I see now, you have the same affliction,” I
keep talking as Rose continues to tug on my arm, trying to pull me away,
but I resist. I have no flippin’ clue why, because I should walk away, but an
awkward tick keeps me spewing nonsense. “I should have realized though.
It’s usually a much bigger deal when I walk in, people go crazy and throw
money at me and—” God, shut me up now.
“Mm-Hm” He nods at me, that twist of his lip affirming that I sound
just as crazy as I think I do. He steps forward, nearly touching me, and the
warmth from the night cuts off as the door closes behind him. His cologne
fills my senses and it smells great, I want to inhale him. “You get money
thrown at you?” He questions low, almost a whisper, but it sounds dead
sexy—even if he’s teasing me.
My face has to be beet red, my cheeks are burning, but I laugh through
it. “All the time.”
