“He’s hot,” my bestie says. “And well-dressed,” I say. “Look at those forearms,” she adds. “Look at his shoulder muscles,” I say. “He has salt and pepper temples!” she gushes. “Girl. He’s a fox!” “A silver fox,” I smirk. “That’s the best kind of fox,” she swoons. I can’t stop staring at him. He’s alone, sipping draft beer, and he’s got this aura about him.

For a moment, we just stare at each other. My lips part as I try to hide my heavy breathing. His mouth curls into a small smirk. It makes me giddy, and a smile breaks out on my face, accompanied by another blush.

Waiting for him would be fateful, but not spontaneous.” “I don’t believe in fate,” I murmur as the stranger and I play footsie with our eyes. “Exactly. So go talk to him.” Right. “Right,” I nod. I stand up, straighten my sweater dress, grab the shot of tequila, toss it down the back of my throat, and wince. Then, with my better judgement and reasoning subdued by alcohol, I take a deep breath and say something I’ve never said in my life. “Here goes nothing.” ❤️ Read Accidental Ex's Dad, free with Kindle Unlimited. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0GTV3X6CL
