“Let’s see... He’s single, I know because my mother has been trying to get me to wait on him all week. Since she’s still obsessed with marrying me off, I’ve been avoiding him like the plague. From what I’ve heard of his accent, I think he’s probably east coast. Mother told Gramma Odette that he’s just visiting, not moving this way. He prefers soup over salad, fruit over chocolate and drinks black coffee by the gallon.”
“He’s just visiting?” Bianca repeated, biting her lip. The first guy to ever inspire her to move outside her comfort zone, and he lived outside her zip code, too.
Was that good?
Or bad?
“Oh, please,” Joy dismissed. “Like it’d matter if he lived across the street. C’mon, Bianca. You’re not going to hit on some guy in a café. You’re too smart for that.”
Smart, as in she should know she couldn’t handle a guy like that, Joy’s meant.
“But she’s obviously interested,” Grace argued. Bianca perked up, smiling at the support. Then Grace continued, “Maybe one of us can go talk to him. Get some information and decide if he’s okay, then Anja can make an introduction.”
Bianca’s shoulders drooped.
Why didn’t they fingerprint him and run a credit check, too?
“This is silly. Bianca, I know the perfect guy for you,” Serenity said, leaning around the arguing women to peer down the table. “He’s a preschool teacher.”
Be still my heart. Bianca almost groaned aloud.
“Drinking that much coffee can cause erectile issues, you know,” Rue pointed out helpfully.
Lovely.
She decided to ignore them all.
So did Anja, who was watching Bianca with an odd light in her eyes.
Unable to meet Anja’s gaze for long. The other woman always looked like she was peering into her soul, so Bianca looked back at the hottie again. He was smiling as he talked to Natalia. And oh, what a smile. It made her tummy do a roller coaster style loop-di-loop.
Suddenly, more than anything, she wanted to be the type of woman who could attract—and handle—a guy like that. The type who went after what she wanted instead of waiting around and wishing. The type a man would want, would even crave because she was so fascinating.
And there was nothing fascinating about sitting quietly in the corner, wondering what it was like to live an exciting life. She was never going to get what she wanted, in life or in bed, just sitting around wishing for some fluttery fairy to wave a wand and change her life. If she wanted those wishes to come true, she was going to have to get her butt in gear and start making them happen.
Even if the idea of doing all of that was a little scary.
Her eyes locked on the hot guy across the room again. He was perfect.
Gorgeous.
Sexy.
Easygoing, if his chatting with Natalia was any indication.
And an out-of-towner.
Temporary yumminess.
What better guy to try to experiment with.
With that in mind, Bianca pushed back her chair. She was doing it. She was going to introduce herself.
