“Adonis guy!”
Her cheeks flush, and she almost runs into a pet cage behind her.
“Hey, careful. What’s the problem?”
Her glare makes me pause, and I can't help but wonder where I've seen those eyes before. I try to keep my gaze steady on her, but I can feel myself fidgeting as I rub the back of my neck.
“Do I know you?”
“Ruthless!” She blurts.
In a millisecond, a flood of pictures from almost a month ago overwhelms my senses. Suddenly, it all clicks into place - she's the girl from Ruthless.
“You!” I blurt out.
“What are you doing here?”
“This is my parents’ shop.”
“Wait, what?”
Oh shit.This is about to become quite a day.
Chapter 5
Fiona
Theysaythattheuniverse works in mysterious ways, and as I stand in front of Jason Greene, the man who has turned my world upside down, I finally understand what those words mean.
Who would’ve thought that in a city as big as LA, I’d run into the one person I so terribly needed to talk to? The odds are crazy, and yet here we are.
Jason has a t-shirt on, with carton brown pants and white Converse sneakers, the same sneakers from that night, or maybe it’s a different one. The memories come flooding in, and I swallow. His brown hair has a sheen to it, and the sight of the waves makes me want to run my hands through his strands.
A stray thought nearly throws me off my feet.
I’m carrying Jason Greene’s baby.
Mom walks in. She's been beaming all day.
“I see you've met Jason. He's a new customer. "
Today just keeps getting more interesting. Out of all the pet shops in the city, he just so happens to have randomly found this one.
I look over at him. He's quite visibly speechless, and scratches his head, taking another step back. Mom pauses, looking from Jason to me.
“You guys know each other?”
“No,” I say.
“Yes,” Jason says at the same time.
I suppress the urge to facepalm my forehead. Did this dude come to ruin my life?
“Where did you guys meet?”
“Uhh…she came by my bar, Ruthless, with a friend of hers.”
“That's great.”
