“You’re making it sound dirty.” I pointed at her. “He’s a doctor. It’s his job. Oh, come on, Evelyn,” I whined. “It’ll be fun. Please. Remember I went to that wedding with you and that speed dating thing.”

“How hot is he?” she asked.

“Tall, dark, and handsome.” I grinned.

“Fine. It’s not like I have any plans for Friday anyway.”

“Great! Reservations are at seven, so come by my place around four thirty, and we can get ready together. Jackson is picking us up.”

Chapter Seventeen

Jackson

Looking in the mirror, I straightened my tie and headed downstairs, where my sister, Jules, was in the kitchen heating up some leftover spaghetti and meatballs that Terrence had prepared.

“Look at you.” She smiled. “Hot date tonight?”

“Yes. The woman I’m having dinner with is very hot.” I smirked.

“Who is she, Jackson?”

“Her name is Emily, and she happens to be the owner of Emily’s Edge, that shop you like.”

“Really? I was just in there the other day. What does she look like?”

“She’s beautiful and blonde.”

“I think she was the one that rang me up. Blue eyes, tall?”

“Yes. That would be her.”

“She’s gorgeous. Is this your first date?” She smiled.

“No. I met her when I went there and bought you that dress. We ended up seeing each other at a wedding about a month later, got to talking, and we went out a few times.”

She leaned over the counter and pointed her fork at me.

“Sounds serious. Is there something you need to tell me?”

“No, and it’s not serious. Come on, Jules, you know me. But I will tell you this, she’s a very special woman. You want to know why?”

“Why?” Her brows furrowed.

“Because she doesn’t believe in relationships, marriage, etc. She’s a drama-free woman to date.” I smiled.

“Interesting.” She bit into a meatball.

“I have to go. Edward is waiting downstairs for me.” I kissed her forehead. “Make sure to lock up when you leave.”

“I will. Have fun on your date.”

“Oh, I definitely will.” I winked as I stepped onto the elevator.

Knocking on her apartment door, I was surprised when Evelyn answered it.

“Hello, Evelyn. You look lovely.”

“Thank you, Jackson. Come on in. Emily will be out in a minute.”
