Rock Hard: A Bad Boy Rock Star Romance Read Online Free PDF

Grant right before I tripped and fell and nearly broke my nose. I had the same feeling as though I'd tripped and fell all over again, the only difference being that in this case I was tripping and falling all over myself metaphorically rather than literally. Which was less painful, physically at least, but I still wanted to curl up and die.
    Only he had that easy laugh. He had that easy look. "Well thanks for the compliment. Though I have to admit I have a question for you."
    "Shoot," I said. I was surprised at how easy conversation was coming with him. It was actually kind of weird. I hadn't hit it off with the a guy like this in forever. It figured he'd be gay.
    "If you don't really care about the band then why are you dressed up like that?"
    "Solidarity. My friend Kayla loves the band. She won a contest and got excellent seats close enough for the band to see us. She refused to let me go out in something frumpy. The last thing I wanted was to look like a groupie for a bunch of washed up rock star wannabes."
    To my surprise he threw his head back and laughed. A long loud laugh that filled the diner and got the waitress looking over to us. When he came down from that laugh he was wiping a tear from his eye and smacked the counter a couple of times. I blinked at that reaction. Definitely not what I was expecting, but it made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside to get a laugh like that.
    Not the reaction I was expecting from a guy who said he followed the group around. I figured he'd be insulted if anything at my frank assessment of the group.
    "Did I say something funny?"
    "Oh it was nothing," he said. He wiped a tear from his other eye. "You just pretty much mirrored exactly something I was saying in a conversation just a couple of months ago."
    "Oh. Well I guess great minds think alike and all that."
    "That they do," he said. "That they do."
    He glanced down at his watch and back up at me. He had a smile on his face again, but this time it was filled with regret. It really was too bad. He was fun to talk to. I had a feeling this was going to be the highlight of my evening. From here all I had to look forward to was being deafened by decade old pop rock music.
    "It was very nice to meet you…"
    I blinked. "Oh! I can't believe I forgot. I'm Mia."
    I held a hand out. He took it and I felt that electric shock again. Damn! He dripped with sexiness, and once more I found myself cursing the universe for giving that sexiness and that confidence to a guy who was only interested in other guys. It wasn't fair!
    "Nice to meet you Mia," he said. "I'm Grant."
    I sighed. Grant. Of course his name would be Grant. It was like the universe was playing some sort of cosmic joke on me. It was as though I was destined to run into a Grant every time I met an incredibly beautiful man.
    Apparently he noticed that look. "What's so funny?"
    I shook my head. "Nothing. Just the universe playing a joke on me."
    "You're funny Mia," he said. "I think I like you."
    I smiled and blushed. I found myself wondering what our children would look like, and viciously stomped down on that thought as soon as it occurred to me. "I think I like you too!"
    I was such a goofball. I thought I liked him too? What sort of idiotic stupid thing was that to say? Only miraculously he wasn't running for the hills. I figured that was a good sign. He searched my face for a moment. Once more I had the distinct feeling he was looking for something. What the hell he was looking for was beyond me.
    "You really mean that, don't you?"
    "Of course. Why wouldn't I?"
    "You'd be surprised," he said. And then he surprised me by pulling out his phone. "What's your number?"
    I leaned forward and glanced down at his phone with a thin smile. "My, we're being forward aren't we?"
    He blinked. "So you're not going to give me your number?"
    "Of course I am. I just wanted to make you work for it since it looked like you assumed you were going get it without any trouble!"
    "Again, you'd be surprised,"
