The Perfect Match: A New Adult Erotic Romance (Inseparable Book 2) by Bella Chal Page B

said her boyfriend was mean to her, so she doesn’t see him anymore.” Jen obviously thought she was being clever, so Kurt hid his amused grin.
    “Come on, hold hands in the parking lot,” he said as he led them to the front entrance. Just inside the doors was a counter, and behind the counter was a lovely blonde in her early twenties beaming a beautiful smile at the girls.
    “Yay! Miss Cathy, guess who we brought today?” Lisa said in her loud, excited voice.
    “Oh, god, for a second I thought you were Jack,” Cathy said. “You must be Charlotte’s brother, Kurt. I’m Cathy Grayson.”
    “That’s me. I don’t suppose she talked me up, did she?” Kurt said as he shook her hand.
    “No, you’re going to have to sell yourself to me,” she said, giving him the kind of forward smile that told him he wouldn’t have to work too hard.
    The girls were busy taking off their shoes and stuffing them into a cubby along the wall. Jen was having a hard time because she was also obviously eavesdropping on their conversation.
    “I ain’t so great at that,” he said, letting go of her hand. “I’m sort of a take-me-as-you-find-me kind of guy, but I bet we could work something out.”
    She blushed a little and nodded, “I bet we could at that.”
    “What do I owe you for the girls to play?” he asked, reaching for his wallet.
    “They belong to the Family Club,” she said as the girls ran off. Jen looked back with a sly smile that made Kurt chuckle. She asked, “What’s so funny?”
    “My cousin has been singin’ your praises the whole ride in. I think she’s playin’ matchmaker.”
    “We’re not busy right now,” she said, leaning over the counter a little. “If you wanted to hang out, I mean.”
    Jack looked back and nodded. Polly was a lost cause, so there was no use in trying any more. Cathy was a breath of fresh air, untainted by Kendall or Trey. “So tell me about yourself,” Kurt prompted as he leaned closer.
    “Well, I work here during the day and at a bar called Dave and Buster’s at night. It’s like an arcade for grown-ups, with bowling and video games.”
    “Hey, that sounds like a fun place,” Kurt said with enthusiasm. “Do you ever go there when you’re off?”
    “Oh, yeah, it’s off the chain,” she said. “My roommate and I are heading up there tonight if you’re free.”
    “That sounds like just what I need,” Kurt said, mostly to himself.
    The girls played for a couple of hours while Kurt chatted with Cathy off and on the whole time. She seemed a little immature in a way, but he liked her charm and easy-going personality. By the time he was ready to leave he had her phone number and the address of bar in his phone. There was a look of promise in her eyes that made him flush as the girls pulled him out the door to go eat lunch.

    K urt got ready in the girls’ bathroom, staring at the explosion of bath toys and pink accented decor with grin. He had wanked in the shower to reduce his tension level, washed himself carefully in case he got lucky, and was shaving off the last few days of stubble to look his best. Combing through his hair before the gel set, he finished up by brushing his teeth and giving his black collared shirt one final tug.
    “Are you ever coming out of the bathroom,” his sister Charlotte said through the door.
    “Why?” he asked. “You got somewhere to be?” Opening the door, she looked up at him as her scowl changed to surprise.
    “Holy crap,” she said with a chuckle. “If you weren’t my brother I’d date you!”
    “Thanks,” he answered, feeling his face get hot. “It’s not too late, you can still come if you want.”
    “Naw,” she said. “I don’t want to cramp your style. Aunt Julie says her friend Cathy is nice though. She wants us to do a girls night out on Friday, so I’ll get to meet her and go see the place then.”
    Kurt came out into the living room to find everyone watching some kid’s movie. Polly was sitting next
