want your dick sucked.”
As if nothing else needed to be said AJ turned and headed down the fairway.
Warren watched his childhood friend head toward the green and wondered when he had become so cold and hard. They hadn’t seen each other in the past six years, but he had been able to follow AJ’s career as a speaker for the past three. Warren never imagined his best friend could so easily lose his humanity. There had been no affection in his voice as he spoke about Marie. To AJ it was all business and nothing else mattered.
He decided to let AJ have the last word on the subject. He saw no point in continuing it. AJ wasn’t going to change his mind and he certainly wasn’t going to give Warren his blessing with his intended pursuit of Marie.
They finished their nine holes and wrapped up the day in the clubhouse, catching up on old times over a glass of Maker’s Mark and a cigar. Two hours later they parted with a cordial handshake. Now it was time to hunt down Marie and find out exactly how she felt about him. Hopefully, he already knew what her answer was going to be.
Chapter 7
Janet was already at Parillo’s when Marie walked in. It was crowded but it wasn’t full yet. That didn’t usually happen until about eight.
“Where’ve you been, Slow Poke? It’s almost 6:30.” Janet slid a glass to her. “I ordered you one already, but it’s probably warm by now.”
“Thanks.” Marie slumped down in the seat across from her best friend. She took a sip of the half melted fruity concoction.
“Don’t you want another one? That can’t be very cold.” Janet looked around for a waitress.
“No. It’s fine. It fits in perfect with my week.” Marie took another long sip before setting the glass on the table. “Did you order anything to eat yet?”
“Of course not. I’ve been waiting for you. Although, I was just about to pass out from hunger.”
“I’m not that late. Besides, I had to go home and change first. I needed to shed those office clothes. The last thing I want tonight is a reminder of that place.”
“That bad, huh?” Janet put her elbow on the table and leaned her chin on her hand, a playful grin on her face.
“You have no idea.” Marie took another long sip of her drink. “It’s a constant struggle not to make a complete fool of myself by drooling all over him. I just need to stay away from him for the next two days.”
“I assume you are referring to the sexy Dr. Jackson?”
“Yes, Janet.”
“Well, I have the perfect solution to your problem. I asked a friend to join us tonight. He just moved back to town and I thought you might like to meet him. He’s a really great guy. Maybe he’ll help you forget about your, uh, problem.” She wiggled her eyebrows.
“Oh God. Not again?”
Janet had played matchmaker with her all through college. Every time she was in this kind of situation Janet would introduce her to one of her friends to help her forget the guy. The problem was there was always something annoying about their personality. Like Mike who laughed like a hyena or Jason who still lived with his mother because she did all his laundry.
“Do I have a choice, Aphrodite?” Marie set her glass on the table and leaned her head back on the high back chair, covering her face with both hands. “So, tell me. What’s wrong with this one?”
“Nothing. He’d be perfect for you, Marie, he’s very outgoing.” Janet poked Marie in the side and giggled.
She dropped her hands to her thighs with a slap. “Great. Just what I need, a chatterbox who doesn’t know when to shut up.” She leaned forward resting her elbows on the table and her chin in her hands. “Or is he outgoing because he wants to live in the woods with the animals?
Seriously, I don’t think I can deal with this tonight, Jan. You know I’ve been making a fool of myself at work with Dr. Jackson for the past week. I’m really not in the mood to be nice. I was just hoping we could have a fun girl’s
