“I don’t know, Laura.” Kimora sighed. She took another sip of her wine and listened to Laura describe how the app worked. As she watched Laura scroll through the app, she began to think that maybe she was right. Maybe she did need a distraction from work and life. She couldn’t even think of the last time she’d gone out on a date with a man.

She grimaced when the memory came forward. It had been with another researcher from a visiting hospital.

Worst date ever.

She’d never realized how boring the conversation could be with a fellow intellect. Well, at least his conversation had been boring. He wanted to talk shop non-stop while she had wanted to just relax and speak of anything else but work.

“The one thing about this app is that all of the men, or women, look as if they could be on the front of a romance book,” Laura said with a straight face.

Kimora blinked and snatched the phone from her.

“Let me see this,” she murmured.

Laura was right. She moved from profile to profile, and she had to hand it to her, each guy looked as if he would be perfect for the cover of a smutty book. There were men who appeared to be cowboys, models, first responders, and even one or two who were Vikings. Kimora used to love reading romance books. It was a pastime that she had gotten away from as she’d progressed further in her career.

What could she lose? Go out on a date with a man who resembled a Greek god? Even if his conversation was terrible, at least she’d have some eye candy and hopefully a good meal out of it.

“Okay. Fine,” Kimora muttered. She handed the phone back to Laura who squealed her delight.

Laura snatched the phone back from her. “This won’t take me long to set up for you. Give me your phone.” She bounced around on the couch with excitement lining her face.

Kimora passed it to her and wasn’t sure if she was going to regret this. If anything, she could always delete the app.

“Don’t make me look bad,” she grumbled. She tossed back the rest of her wine and sat forward to refill her glass. She was going to need a lot of wine for this. She couldn’t believe she was going to use a dating app. Never in her wildest dreams had she ever seen herself signing up for something like this.

“Girl, you are gorgeous, intelligent, and have a great job. What man wouldn’t want to take you out? You are going to have to beat the men off you.” Laura laughed.

“Then why aren’t they lining up now without an app?” Kimora questioned.

Seriously, though. Laura was right. She was a fucking catch, and her dating life hadn’t always been that great. Where did one meet a good man nowadays? She wasn’t one to go to clubs. Once in a blue moon, she and some friends would meet up at a barfor girls’ night. She had learned her lesson about trying to date someone in her field.

So again…where were all the good men?

Probably married, Kimora scoffed to herself. She sat back and took another sip of her wine while she watched Laura’s fingers fly across the screen.

“Which picture do you want to use?” Laura glanced up from the phone.

Kimora leaned over and opened her photo app. They scrolled through her selfies and other pictures that had her in them.

“Oh, what about this one. You looked amazing in that two-piece.”

“Um, no.” Kimora skipped that photo. She, Laura, and some friends had gone to Costa Rica a few years ago. Just seeing the pictures brought back so many memories and the desire to travel. Again, her friend was right. She needed a vacation. She found a professional picture of herself from a conference. “How about this one?”

“Absolutely the fuck not. That makes you seem all preppy. They want to see your personality in the photo. That will help your future baby daddy connect with you.”

“I’m not seeking a baby daddy.” Kimora rolled her eyes. She wanted a life partner. Someone who she would fall deeply in love with. A man who would become the father of her children. Nothing against women and their baby daddies, but that was not how she wanted to live life. Plus on this app, she wasn’t sure she would find the one on here.

“This is the one!” Laura nodded.

Kimora stared at the photo. It was a great picture of herself. She remembered that trip. It was a business trip she’d taken down to Sydney, Australia. It had been the first time she’d ever been to Australia and she’d got to do it in the name of research. She had snapped a selfie of herself with the Sydney HarborBridge behind her. Happiness radiated from her face in the picture.

“Yeah, that’s a good one.”

“Perfect.” Laura finished doing whatever the app required of her before she sat back on the couch with a wide grin. She tossed the phone to Kimora. “Done.”

“Now what?” Kimora caught it in midair. She turned it around so she could see her profile page. She scanned it quickly and raised her eyebrows. Laura was good. She had Kimora sounding like one hell of a catch. Hell, she’d date herself if she could.

“We wait to see if you are matched with anyone or you can start scrolling through and see if anyone catches your eye.”
