Chapter 2
Tomcat Aaron
Before I even had a chance to reply, Aaron sent an address.
“Is that Vincent?” asked Cinder.
I shook my head. “No. It’s the tomcat. Seems like he’s changed his mind…”
She gasped and snatched my phone away. “Aaron Morris… Oh my god. That’s Vincent’s friend?!”
“Yeah? You know him?”
“Know him? My old man tried to set me up with him. Aaron’s the second son of the Morris Group. Not only is his family loaded, but he started his own business in college.” She shook her head and passed my phone back. “He was offered three million dollars for his patents, but he said no. His company’s thriving now.”She paused to sip her drink. “Trust me. Go see him. Vincent is no match.”
She’s right. Aaron was easily my best choice at the moment. I can al ready imagine Vincent’s seething jealousy and crushed ego if I could make this work with Aaron.
Cinder took a second to map the address Aaron sent me. “He’s at… oh! Tribeca. That’s right by my place.” She nodded at me excitedly, “You can go to my house to change into something sexier. Fix up your makeup. He’ll be totally blindsided!”
“I don’t think that’s necessary,” I said. “It’s just a hookup. I don’t need
to go all out.”
She pouted, “Alright, fine. Don’t. But if you go there looking like a tramp, security might not even let you inside.”
“Okay!” I gave in, finishing my beer. “Your place it is. Let’s go.”
An hour later, I was dolled up and Cinder had gone back to her office for the night. At this point, my rage had boiled away, leaving behind a numbness. I didn’t even have it in me to feel ashamed.
I realized I hadn’t eaten anything all day, so I stopped by a local burg er joint on the way to his house. While I waited for my order, I pulled out my phone.
heyOlive: Have you eaten yet? I’m grabbing food from Joey’s by your house. I could get you something…?
Amorris: ?
Amorris: I don’t even have pants on, and you’re asking if I want burg
