... from this one!” She stood in between me and Jay, protectively guarding me. “She’s taken! I’ve already matched her up with Oliver, and if not Oliver, then Carl—or Sanjeet.” “Sanjeet?” Jay quirked an attractive eyebrow. “Sanjeet Kumar?” “Hey, don’t hate!” Skylar turned to me and said, “He’s just pissed because he can’t get over the fact that San schooled him in the boxing ring last summer. He honestly looks like a Bollywood movie star! You’d love him!” “Hey!” Oliver exclaimed. “I’m still very much here and very much interested!” Jay boxes? No wonder he looked like a gym buff. “Did I also mention the fact that he’s a surgeon?” Skylar continued to rave about this elusive friend I hadn’t met but was actively being paired with. Thankfully Jay interjected. “I think you need to quit your job as a match maker for your friends and consider focusing on your own love life, or should I say, lack of a love life.” Skylar regarded him again. “I’ve sworn off men—at least for three months.” Jay snickered. “Right, because you’ve suddenly caught a contagious case of cock fright.” Oliver laughed out loud in a really goofy way, which caused me to laugh along with him. “Good one, bro…. cock fright.” He chuckled, shaking his head. “You guys can make fun all you want,” said Skylar, “but I’m perfectly capable of staying single.

Go frolic among the fifty other people here and try to score a number, because you’re not getting this one.” “Gladly,” he declared nonchalantly. Oliver raised his beer. “Take one for the team, buddy!” Jay clinked his glass against Oliver’s drink, winked at me, and disappeared. Skylar folded her arms in her chest and glared at her friend. “What?” said Oliver. “I live vicariously through that man!” She rolled her eyes. “You need to grow a pair and just ask a woman out.” She hooked her arm around mine, and led me toward another group of eccentrics to socialize with. I should have been grateful that she had cock blocked Jay, but all I wanted to do was shoo her away and pull that sexy man into a dark corner and make out with him, even if there was no rhyme or reason behind it. ~oOo~ Present day So flawless. How could he look so perfect, even when he slept? I smiled to myself and touched his face. He didn’t stir from the contact. On the exterior, nothing seemed to weigh him down.
