EXCERPT
Placing
my elbows at the edge of the countertop, I collapsed on the barstool, feeling
exhausted. I had never been on a date where I felt like I needed a vacation
only two hours in.
“What can
I get ya?” the young guy behind the bar asked.
“A decoy,
maybe a smoke bomb.” He looked at me in confusion. “Date from hell, dude. Ever
had one of those moments where you’re wondering how the fuck you got yourself
in such a mess?”
He chuckled
and looked up over my shoulder.
“Oh.” He
smirked and nodded. “Marissa.”
The fact
he knew her name made me cringe. I had a feeling this was worse than I had
initially thought. “Oh fuck, what? She’s a stalker or some freaky chick that’s
gonna claim we’re engaged? I’ll spend months getting her to leave me the fuck
alone, won’t I?”
He handed
me a beer and shook his head, chuckling to himself, then poured a shot of
tequila and set it on the bar next to my beer. “You’re gonna need that.”
I let my
head fall to my hands and grumbled as I mentally cussed out Greyson and myself
for even showing up.
“Good
luck, man.”
I didn’t
even lift my head. It was pointless; I knew he was eating this up. His laughter
faded as he worked his way down the bar, serving others.
“I see
you don’t suffer from coulrophobia,” came a soft whisper from my right.
I
immediately lifted my head and was taken aback by the girl sitting at my side.
How had I missed her?
Oh, I
know, I’d had tunnel vision as I ran from Cruella toward my next drink.
“What?” I
asked, yet all I could focus on was her piercing blue eyes. I had never seen
eyes that blue before.
“The fear
of clowns,” she stated. “Coulrophobia.”
I
remained focused on her beauty, taking the time to look at each feature,
wondering why in the hell she couldn’t have been the brunette from the coffee
shop. My night would have been a whole hell of a lot better if she was in
Marissa’s place.
I knew I
was staring, but I couldn’t stop myself. She had mentioned something about
clowns, but I was lost. I had no idea what she was talking about. My gaze fell
to her plump, full lips, and I smirked. No red lipstick graced them. They held
only a sheer film of shiny gloss, and I loved that she preferred the more
natural look. When they curved upward in a smile, I didn’t feel even the
slightest bit embarrassed that she knew I was checking her out so
closely.
When her
eyes met mine, she nudged her head toward Marissa. “I was referring to your
date. She kinda resembles a clown.”
I stared
at her and could see she was fighting back her laughter. She lifted her drink
to her lips and took a small sip before lowering it.
I could
no longer hold back my own smile. “I fucking hate clowns.”
