appointments. Two called back and  planned to be there the next day. She sat back and stretched, hoping she knew what she was getting herself into.

Chapter 4

    Jake had a hard time concentrating at work after his encounter with Erin. There was something about her that was intoxicating. She seemed to know what she wanted in life, and it made her that much more attractive. The job she’d talked about sounded appealing, but he wasn’t sure if it was because of the job itself or the fact that he could spend time with her.
    He pushed that thought away. He didn’t know if she’d call. She hadn’t seen him act, and besides, it could be weeks down the road, and he needed something now.
    A small family came into the pound looking for a dog they could adopt. Jake showed them around to the different dogs that would work well with kids. They decided on a beagle, and Jake helped take care of the paperwork while the kids played with the dog. He was relieved to see that it would be going to a good home.
    Once they left, Jake made sure all of the animals had food and water, and then pulled out the newspaper he collected on the way back from lunch. He circled a few more ads so he could call when he got home.
    A few more people came in to pick out a new pet, and then it was time to close. He was shutting off the lights in the back room when he heard the doorbell ding.
    “Sorry, we’re closed,” he called out.
    “Okay, I’ll wait outside,” Erin called back.
    Jake hurried back to the front. “Wait. I didn’t realize it was you. Did you need something?”
    Erin grinned. “How would you like a job starting tomorrow?”
    “What? Seriously?” Jake looked at the calendar. He already had the day off so he could fix up his apartment, but that could wait. He needed this job more than a few decorations.
    Erin handed him a paper. “I got back to the office to find out that they wanted to start tomorrow.”
    Jake read through the offer, and tried not to show his excitement over the pay. It wasn’t huge by any means, but it was more than enough to pay off his rent and get a few things for his apartment. “This looks great. Wow. I don’t even know what to say.”
    “Say yes. Or, at least say you’ll think about it. I found girls that would match you for the ad, so I need you.” Her face reddened, but it only made her more beautiful.
    “Okay. Well, I’ll be going over to an audition in a few minutes. I can call you afterward with my answer. Unless … you want to come with me?” He asked before he had time to think. She just had him so flustered.
    “I … sure. I could do that.” She checked her phone.
    “Did you already have plans? I can just meet you tomorrow instead.” He shouldn’t have asked. Of course she’d have plans.
    “No, really. I’d love to come. This way I can see you act. Where is the audition?”  She put her phone back in her pocket and slipped her purse over her shoulder.
    “Downtown. We’ll have to catch a cab. I don’t have a car.”  He clocked out and turned off the computer.
    “The subway might be faster.” She looked at her watch. “Especially right now.”
    It was Jake’s turn to blush. “I don’t do the subway. Confined spaces and all that. I either walk or I take a cab when I have some spare change.”
    Erin laughed. “My favorite mode of transportation.”
    Jake grinned. “Perfect. I’m done here.”
    He turned off the lights on their way out and watched as Erin flagged down a taxi. He was surprised at how fast she’d managed to get one to stop. Usually it took him several tries.
    They sat quietly while the driver took them to the address Jake gave the driver. Jake wanted to say something, but he had no idea what to talk about. He just enjoyed sitting next to her. Their legs brushed as they drove over bumps in the road.  After several glances from the driver, Jake knew he needed to say something.
    “So, how was work? Did you get everything figured out?” There. Work was safe,
