Chapter 31: What Did I Just Say?

ChloeDid I just proposition Rex? Crap. I wish I could say I'm ready for that, but really, I barely know him. I know he's okay with one night stands but sex means something to me. Usually, anyway. My Tinder Mistake, as I'm lovingly calling him, I slept with after only talking to for a few weeks and look where that got me. Contributing to him having an affair. The jerk.Rex is suddenly quiet, fidgeting as he's driving, almost as if he's nervous."Rex?""Hmm?"He won't look at me. His grip on the steering wheel so tight his knuckles are turning white. He swallows so hard I can hear the gulp from where I'm sitting next to him.When I lay a hand on his forearm he almost jumps out of his seat."You okay?""Fine," he croaks."You don't sound fine."I almost start giggling because if I'm reading the situation correctly, he's nervous about having sex with me. Or, maybe, just what my intentions are. Rex, the sexy bartender that every single female in town lusts over and m

Chapter 32: Goodness He's Fun

Chloe"You think you're so funny, don't you? Teasing me like this?""Whatever do you mean?""I'm in your head, gorgeous. I know what you're thinking."Walking backwards, I keep my eyes trained on him as I shed my zip-up hooded sweatshirt. I look like a complete ragamuffin. How he finds me attractive when I'm not wearing a lick of makeup, my clothes look like I slept in them, because I totally did, and my hair is sticking up in a thousand different directions is beyond me, and his eyes flare when he notices the tiny tank top I'm wearing underneath. It was chilly enough at the pumpkin patch that I never needed to remove my jacket, thank goodness.My yoga pants have slight flare at the bottom, but they hug my ass, molding it and somehow lifting it high. Throughout our time this afternoon I saw him not-so discreetly checking it out on several occasions, which made me grateful I kept them on like he suggested.I spin around so he gets a good look, shimmy a bit before bending

Chapter 33: Mom Liked the Strippers

Chloe"Tell me more about your mom."We've just demolished an insane amount of Chinese takeout and are now chilling out on my couch. He's sitting up, legs stretched out in front of him, feet resting on the coffee table. My back is to the arm of the couch and my feet are on his thighs. The TV is on. Malcom the cat, is glaring at me for taking his spot where he would like to be on Rex's lap, and I feel more relaxed than I've been in months. Probably since the day I buried my mother."There's not much more to tell, really.""Oh come on. Sure there is. Tell me about your favorite day with her."A grin splits my lips and I bite my lower lip. He'll probably torment me forever for this story, but it is so amazing."Oh boy. I can tell this is gonna be a good one."Nodding, I sit up, crossing my legs. Malcom is quick to take my place, meowing at me to remind me of my station."It was my twenty-first birthday, okay? And she's, oh man, she was always a nut. It wasn't as if she

Chapter 34: Hearts Are Breaking All Over the Town Tonight

RexIt's been three days since I've seen Chloe.Three.Long.Days.I've talked to her every day in between but not being able to see her is nothing short of dumb. The only thing that's made the few days separation bearable is the fact that we've both been working. She stays late a few nights a week so she can be there for her clients who work during the day and I've had shifts at The Flying Goat to cover.The new bartenders Ethan hired have been asking for more hours, so I graciously gave up my two weekend shifts so they could fill in. The tips are incredible and as college students, they need the money.But that doesn't stop me from coming in before the busy Friday night crowd gets here to help out during Happy Hour."So you like her, huh?" Penny asks."What makes you say that?" On Wednesday night Penny and I worked together and she was giving me a raft of shit about missing my shift, something I've never done in all the years I've worked here. Because I'm not a d

Chapter 35: He's Already Changing Me. And I Like It.

ChloeI watch the most amazing smile light up his face when I tell him I'm feeling the same. How could I not be?We're the same.I felt it the first night we sat at Balance sharing dessert.Even before my mother passed away, I didn't form attachments. Didn't build relationships easily or often. Growing up, I liked only two people aside from Mom. Jillian, my best friend, and Lucy, my other best friend, and that was pretty much it. I had other friends, but none of them were close. Because it was just my mother and I, there were no aunts or uncles, no grandparents, no cousins. It was easy for me to assume it was normal to only having a very small number of people in my corner.Rex and I have only known each other two weeks and yet I've given him more of myself than any of my friends at the salon who I've known for years.Tonight while we were at dinner, he asked me question after question about the salon I want to start up and coloring hair. He wanted to know everything the

Chapter 36: How Can You Let Me Do This?

Chloe"You like it?""Rex. You said it wasn't anything special.""It isn't," he shrugs. "It's just a car.""Want me to show you a picture of my baby bug before she got smashed?""Obviously."I pull my phone out and slide my finger along the screen until I come up with a picture I took on a whim one day. I'd just spent hours hand washing and vacuuming out the interior and was proud of the work I'd done. I sent the picture to Ari and she laughed at me for days, saying I was like a teenager, proud of their first car. She asked if I kissed it before bed at night, too.I show him the picture of my mid-70's powder blue Beetle that I cherished, even if it was an ugly rust-bucket. I truly did love it, even when it caused me problems with not starting. And, if I'm being honest, the interior smelled like cheese. It was practically being held together by rust. It wasn't that great or reliable, but it was mine. It might have sputtered and lurched, and there was absolutely no way I

Chapter 37: It's Time.

Rex"Question.""Answer.""My boss is planning a big Halloween party at The Flying Goat in a couple weeks. Well, actually, his wife is, but I wondered if you'd want to help with something? I know that means you'd have to meet my friends, but it's been a month and I'm ready, if you are, I mean.""You want me to meet your friends?""I do."A month ago, all I wanted out of life was easy and uncomplicated. Nothing but between the sheets action. And until I laid eyes on Chloe, it was working just fine. But now, I want complicated, even though being with Chloe is hardly that. But I want the way she shakes up my life, the difference in how I see the world because of her influence on me. I'm seeing things differently, opening my mind and heart up to the one thing I swore I'd never do again.Fall in love.Not that I'm in love with her, but I see the potential of it happening. And unless my instincts are way off, she's along for the ride. "Wow. You must really like me, huh?

Chapter 38: His Vixen

ChloeAs soon as I spot his bedroom, I dive on the bed, flipping onto my back. When I made the decision to surprise Rex at his house earlier, I knew exactly what would happen.Planned it.Prepped my skin to make sure it was silky smooth and void of hair in as many places as possible.Ari spoiled me, giving me a pedicure, manicure, and facial.I put on my special underwear and bra, the lavender set that's lacy and gives me the perfect amount of lift.I'm feeling good.Sexy.And ready to drive Rex wild with enough desire that he can't deny either of us anymore."What've you got planned, you little vixen?""Lots and lots."He's unbuttoning his shirt as he walks toward me. It falls from his shoulders and I let out a whimper. Somewhere, someone has built a statue in his honor because they couldn't get the image of his body out of their mind and had to memorialize it.I grip the sheets, desperate to watch as he continues to undress for me.Rex pops the button on

Chapter 39: Becoming Domesticated

Rex"Tacos tonight?""You know the way to my heart," she croons, hand clutching her heart as she looks at me over her shoulder. Face still a bit sleepy from waking up just a half hour ago, hair a mess."That's the point." I wink then kiss her on the cheek from behind. She's at the stove, frying up bacon and eggs, toast already buttered and waiting on the table.It's been a few weeks since the first night we spent together, and it's done nothing to curb my desire for Chloe. Everything about her was addicting before we had sex but now, now I'm craving her. Need her near me as often as possible. Love that we can spend this time together and not be even remotely sick of each other."How are you liking the car?"She glances over at me with a twinkle in her eye. "Love it. I'm pretty sure she likes me too. We're good for each other."Chuckling, I grab plates and set them on the table and finish off the bacon, putting them on a plate topped with a paper towel, while she flips

Chapter 40: Meet Your Bro, I Mean, my Family

Rex"Excited?""Yes.""You're not nervous?""About meeting your friends? No. I know they're like your family, but I'm not nervous.""Good." I squeeze her hand as we walk to the back door of The Flying Goat. I've been looking forward to the Halloween party since Ethan and Olivia suggested it, but knowing that Chloe will be there with me has made me anticipate it even more.We decorated and got everything ready for the party this morning so we could have time to get into costumes. That was something I had forgotten to tell Chloe about when I first asked her to do the face painting for the party, but when I brought it up, she was all about it. Neither of us went crazy, though I know Ethan got roped into something pretty epic, wearing a fairy godmother costume for one of our friend's daughter. Chloe is dressed in all black with a cat ears head band on as well as a long tail clipped to the back of her shirt and I just threw on a cowboy hat and some boots I found at a second-h
