Page 31 of Those Summer Nights (Sweet Cravings 2)

"Your secret is safe with me."

"Yeah, I'm not sure about that."

"It is. You can trust me."

He looked at me for a second. "I do trust you."

"And I like the name J. J." I smiled at him. "It suits you."

He rubbed the back of his neck. He looked embarrassed.

"You know, you could name your kid Jaime Jamison Junior."

"Yeah, but I'm not an asshole."

I laughed. “And I wasn’t just laughing at your name. I was laughing because you were kind of holding me and your pants fell…”

He picked up a new pair of pants and pulled them on. He looked in the mirror as he tucked in his shirt. They fit perfectly. They were snug but not too tight. His ass looked amazing.

"So?" he asked and turned toward me as he tightened his tie.

"You look great. Very grown up. All you need is a belt."

He lifted the tie and pretended to choke himself.

"Oh, come on. You look really handsome."

He dropped the tie. "I do, huh?"

"You do."

"You know what? This shirt is actually a lot more comfortable than the other one. I think I'll just buy this outfit in a few different colors."

"Guys are so much easier to shop with than girls."

He laughed. "Okay, now get out of here while I change, you pervert. You're going to get us in trouble."

I laughed and exited his stall. I looked both ways before running out of the men's changing room. Maybe he was right about me. Maybe I was a pervert. It was pretty easy for him to convince me to go in the changing room in the first place. And then I’d basically just thought of his dick the whole time. It was like my body had a mind of its own. It was screaming at me to forget about being single. To forget about the promises I’d made to myself this summer. And the scary part was that I wanted to listen. Because J.J. was incredibly sweet and charming and so freaking gorgeous. Jaime Jamison was a pretty silly name, but J.J.? J.J. was exactly the kind of name I pictured him having.

I made my way over to the women's section as I waited for him. A blue dress caught my eye on one of the racks. It was the same blue as his eyes. I picked it up. The fabric was so light and soft. There was a peephole in the front that probably showed off way too much cleavage. It crisscrossed at the neckline and the fabric crossed again in the back, leaving most of the back exposed. It was really sexy. I flipped over the sales tag. And way out of my price range. I went to put it down.

"Try it on."

I looked up at J.J. "Oh, no. I was just looking."

"Seriously, try it on. It would look great on you."

I laughed and hung it back up. "I'd have nothing to wear it to."

He looked at the dress. "If you say so. Are you ready to go? I'm starving."

I took a bite of my hamburger. "This is amazing," I said.

"I told you. I can't believe you've never been to Red Robin before."

"They didn’t have any near SMU." Thinking about SMU almost made me lose my appetite. But the burger was so good that it was impossible to put down.
