them over and started to giggle. “Thanks, Jason,” she said, looking at him with dreamy eyes.
    I hit her arm with my elbow . “Don’t be so weird.”
    “Right, I am pleased to meet you .” She broke her eyes away from him.
    “I am pleased to meet you… What is that?” I looked at her, and she was gushing. “This is my very pregnant friend Shannon. She is in a committed relationship. Even though I think she might drop her panties for you, she loves her husband.”
    She hit my arm at the same time Jason started laughing.
    “Ouch, you hit me hard. That hurt. You should feel lucky my hands are full.”
    She leaned in to give me a hug and whispered, “He is stunning . Don’t blow this.”
    I looked at her . “I think you’re kind of a bitch right now, you know that?”
    S he laughed, then turned to leave.
    “Thanks for the ride !” I yelled after her.
    I followed Jason to his office in the back. He opened the door , and Bo came out to greet me.
    “Hi , Bo, how are you?”
    “He has been sleeping all day . You wore him out this morning.”
    I set the lunch on his desk and started to pull the sandwiches out. “I want to say something about my earlier text. I want to clarify some things.” I gave him a pointed stare. “I like your parts meaning your eyes, arms, hair, your legs, and your chest.” My eyes lingered on all the parts as I talked about them. “But I do not mean anything sexual. I am far from sexual with my thoughts when it comes to you.” I felt myself starting to blush. “Not just you, everyone. I am not interested in anything sexual.”
    “Really ?” he said, adjusting himself in his seat. “Can you please stop saying ‘sexual’?”
    From behind me , I heard a man clear his throat and walk in.
    “Hey , Dad, this is Katarina.”
    “I am pleased to meet you, Katarina.” He offered his hand.
    I was so embarrassed I felt light-headed. My face was hot, no longer warm, and my hands sweaty, so reluctantly I put my hand in his and smiled.
    “You know that kind of talk will only get him to chase you?” he said as he reached over and grabbed a sandwich.
    “Well, I am new to this…game. How do I get him to not want to chase me?”
    “You don’t. My son only does what he wants when he wants.” I watched as the man took the seat next to the one I was sitting in.
    “Is this a family trait, like a defect?”
    He laughed and smiled. He was an older version of Jason. He seemed very likable, and I liked him immediately. He looked at Jason and I saw a light in his eyes.  He loved his son. He beamed from it.
    “His mother has that trait . He got that from her.”
    “Al l right, Dad, stop trying to schmooze my girlfriend.” Jason was shaking his head.
    “I am not sure if you heard, but she is not interested in a ‘sexual’ relationship with you .” He used his fingers as quotes around the word “sexual.”
    “I am sure she will change her mind . I can be patient. I do have all her favorite parts.”
    Bo got up , walked over to me, and lay down so I could scratch his belly, so I did.
    “I feel a little competition with my dog over her. I think he just stuck his tongue out at me.”
    “There is no competition. I would rub your belly, too, if you lay down in front of me like he does.”
    Jason’s eyes shot up. “See , Dad? This is the kind of torture I put up with. She has no idea how her words get to me.”
    I looked over at Jason’s dad, confused , then at Jason. “How can that do anything for you? I mean, rubbing your belly might make you less grumpy. It is not sexual at all.”
    “No more with that word.” Jason’s dad laughed. He stood up and winked at me . “Good luck to you, Katarina.”
    I stood too.
    “I find it brave of you to be so friendly with Bo. He scares a lot of people.” Jason’s father was watching the way Bo stood up by my side as he talked.
    “Bo has only been friendly to me .” I looked at him and smiled. “He doesn’t look scary at all. In fact, he is so
