brother…”
I nod in agreement. “Zach is sexy. Did you know I saw him without his shirt on once?”
“You lucky bitch!” Cassidy screams as she throws a pillow at me.
“It was very…nice,” I say, smiling for the first time in twelve hours.
“I want details. Every last detail you can remember.” It was like it was yesterday as I go into full detail of finding him half naked in the moonlight.
“I’m so jealous. What I would give to see that man naked in my bed. Ahh! I’ll be imagining that later. So what should we do today?”
“Let me get showered, and maybe we can have a low-key reading day? I need a new book. Something different and funny. Any suggestions?”
“Yes, I have se veral new ones you can look through.”

After several chapters, we take a break to make lunch.
“So , how are you? I realize I’ve been living in my own little world and haven’t asked how you’ve been doing lately.”
“Oh, you know. Same shit different day,” Cassidy says smiling.
“How about Eric? Or Jack? Have you been seeing them? Or someone new?”
“Sweetie, there is alway s someone new. I haven’t heard from Eric. Jack and I talk occasionally, but I’ve been keeping him at a distance.”
“Why would you keep him at a distance? I thought maybe you really liked him?”
“I do, actually. I just thought, maybe it might be hard for you to see him.”
“To see Jack? Why would I care? Besides the fact I think he’s a bit of a douchebag,” I say jokingly.
“Because he might make you think of Logan,” she says seriously.
“No, he doesn’t make me think of Logan, and I’m fine if you want to bring him around. Don’t keep him away on my account.”
“Are you sure?”
“I’m positive, but thank you for putting my feelings before your sexual needs. I know that’s a big deal for you,” I tease.
“You’re funny!” she bellows with a mouthful of food. “But I don’t need to see him all the time. I’m sure he has somebody else he’s been seeing too.”
“Doesn’t that bother you?”
“It’s what we agreed on. Open relationship. No strings. It’s what I wanted.”
“Is that what you still want?”
“I like him more than I thought I would. He’s grown on me. I’d like to have more, but I don’t want to ruin what we do have going though. I get what I need from him.” She shrugs.
I consider the two of them actually being in a relationship together. That just seems like a disaster waiting to happen. But I also want her happiness. I think she has more feelings for Jack than she’s leading on.

Since Cassidy is spending Wednesday with her sister, I decide to go to The Edge for a bit when I get off of work. I’m starving, and I didn’t get a chance to eat lunch with Zach today, and I’m a little lonely in the house all alone every night, so this gives me the opportunity to see Jen and Connor and have more than my lunch hour to spend with them.
I order my food and talk with Jen up at the bar while I wait.
“Well, well, well. What have we got here?” I don’t turn around since I don’t recognize the voice and assume someone is referring to Jen. Everyone knows her. The stool next to me is pulled out, as a Captain Coke is ordered. The look on Jen’s face tells me she doesn’t know who he is. I look over and see Aaron.
“What are you doing here?” I’m shocked to see him sitting next to me. I can’t imagine what he’d be doing here so early on a Wednesday evening.
“I’m playing tonight.”
“You are?”
“I just said I was.”
“Sorry. I’m just so surprised to see you.”
“Well, I would have let you know, had you ever called me.”
I lower my eyes. “Sorry. I’ve had some issues.”
“All women do, no offense. But we’re here now. I saw that they were looking to set up some acoustic shows and remembered you worked here, or used to, so I thought I’d book a few shows and hoped to run into you eventually.”
