case.
    “I still can’t believe you met Rowan Nixon,” Stacey screeched as she slammed on the brakes to avoid running a red light.
    That was the reason Tenley hated driving with her roommate. She got too easily distracted.
    “Is he as hot in person as he is on TV?”
    “Hotter.”
    When they met, Stacey was looking for a BFF and Tenley was looking for a roommate. They’d agreed to share an apartment as long as Stacey didn’t expect Tenley to share her feelings and shit. She wasn’t into that. She suspected it was because she’d grown up with two brothers who told her to suck it up every time she cried.
    “You gonna do him?” she asked, glancing Tenley’s way.
    “I don’t know,” she said, reaching into her bag for one of the bottled waters she’d stashed there that morning. “Maybe. We’ll see how it goes.”
    For all Tenley knew, he could have moved on already. Maybe he’d been expecting her to invite him up last night, and when she didn’t, he’d decided to write her off. She told herself she didn’t care. But she did care. More than she wanted to.
    “Does he know you’re working for your brother again tonight?” Stacey asked, pulling into the parking lot of their workplace. “Maybe he’ll stop by and bring some of his friends.”
    Tenley wasn’t the only one who liked athletes. Stacey did too, but she wasn’t as careful about guarding her heart as Tenley was. Every time she banged one, Stacey was convinced he was the one and ended up crying in her Corn Flakes at breakfast, making both of them wish she’d learn her goddamn lesson already.
    “He didn’t ask what I was doing tonight, and I didn’t tell him.”
    Stacey was prone to over-sharing, thinking that because a guy wanted to get in her panties, he also wanted to know every move she made. Tenley kept telling her that if she held back a little more, they might stick around longer. At least that had been her experience.
    “Why not?” Stacey asked, trying twice to back the car into a spot before she gave up and pulled in. “Don’t you want to see him again?”
    “Sure, but if I don’t, it won’t be the end of the world.” She got a little knot in her stomach when she thought about never seeing Rowan again, which was crazy since she didn’t break down over guys. Not anymore.
    “Liar,” Stacey said, getting out of the car.
    Tenley’s cell phone rang, prompting Stacey to duck her head back in to sneak a peek at the screen before she answered it.
    “Oh, it’s him. I wanna hear!”
    “You’re gonna be late,” Tenley said, glancing at the time. Since she didn’t have a class for thirty minutes, she could afford to kill some time.
    After a bit of grumbling, Stacey stomped off, leaving her to answer Rowan’s call in peace.
    “Hey,” she said, waving to a couple of guys crossing the parking lot, headed for the studio.
    “Morning, sexy. Just wanted to make sure you didn’t need a lift to work.”
    Damn, that was sweet. She didn’t want him to be sweet. She wanted him to be an ass so she wouldn’t like him so much. “No, thanks, I hitched a ride with Stacey. Sitting here in the parking lot, in fact, getting ready to go in.”
    “Busy day?”
    “I’ve got a few classes. How about you?”
    “I’m just taking it easy. I still work out, but the hard-core training won’t start for a bit.” After a brief pause, he asked, “So, uh, what have you got goin’ on tonight?”
    “Working for Walker.”
    “I figured as much.” He sounded disappointed. “You work for him every weekend?”
    “Yup, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights.” If she wanted to hook up with anyone, which she hadn’t lately, it had to be Sunday through Wednesday night.
    “You mind if I stop by with a few buddies?”
    I wouldn’t mind seeing that sweet ass of yours again. “Suit yourself.”
    “What time do you start?” he asked.
    “Nine.”
    “You need a ride home from work? Maybe we could grab a bite before you have to head in tonight?”
    She
