I could see the disappointment in her eyes. It made me feel like shit, but she knew from the get-go it was simply a fuck and go. That’s what I did. What I’ve always done. Sometimes with more than one girl at a time.

She forced a smile. “See ya around, Finn.”

“See ya.”

Colton walked up with a shit-eating grin. “Damn, dude, once you poke and stoke ’em they’re hooked and hard to get rid of.”

Rolling my eyes, I shook my head. “You’re an asshole.”

He held up his hands and laughed. “Just call it like I see it.”

I’d had enough of this day. It was time to find out more about the lawyer and get the hell out of here. I turned back to where she had been standing, and my stomach dropped.

She was gone.

“Where did she go?” I asked while frantically looking around the room.

“The chick you were making eyes with?” Colton asked.

“Yeah.”

“She left.”

My jaw clenched. Son-of-a-bitch. Zeb walked up to me and stopped short; his expression concerned. “You have that look on your face again.”

“What look?” I bit out.

“The one where you want to rip someone’s head off.”

“Fuck. The lawyer left before I even got her damn name.”

Colton and Zeb both laughed. Some friends they were. “Damn, dude, I’ve never seen you this interested in a woman before. Maybe all your mom’s nagging is starting to sink in,” Colton said with a chuckle.

Shaking my head, I looked him in the eyes. “Fuck that. Did you see her ass?”

With a nod, he replied, “Yeah, I saw it all right. She shouldn’t be hard to track down. She works for the Cap’s wife at her law firm. I think I heard someone call her Lori maybe?”

My phone buzzed in my pocket. Pulling it out, I saw my mother’s name.

Mom: When will you be here?

Sighing, I typed back my response.

Me: Leaving the union meeting now and heading that way.

The gloomy expression on my face should have been a sign to my friends that I was not looking forward to this evening. “I’m heading to Preston’s pub. Mom is throwing me a surprise birthday party. You guys want to come?”

Zeb frowned. “If it’s a surprise party, how do you know about it?”

Lifting my brow, I asked, “Have you never met my mother, Zeb?”

He chuckled and said, “Right. Count me in. Colton?”

All of the sudden, my best friend looked nervous as hell. “Ah, I can’t.”

“Why not?” I asked.

“I’ve got plans.”

Widening my stare, I stated, “You’ve got plans. Who the hell with? We’re your only friends.”

He looked away while replying, “I have a date.”

I thought Zeb was going to drop to the floor. “A date date? Like take them out to dinner and all that shit?”

Colton seemed instantly annoyed. “Yeah, a date date. What other kind of date is there?”

“Do you really need me to answer that?” Zeb replied sarcastically. “I mean you’re worse than this one over here when it comes to the poke and go.”

Zeb was newly engaged, and I knew his fiancé, Sissy, hated that his two best friends were both single and having fun.

Colton gave Zeb a small push. “Fuck off, Zeb. You’re not the only one who can meet someone and explore more.”

I moaned while scrubbing my hands down my face. “First Zeb and now you? You’re both leaving me out to dry.”

The way Colton looked at me, I knew it was coming. First my mother, now my best friend. “I’m tired of the games, Finn. Waking up in someone else’s bed all the time. Shit, half the time I don’t even remember their names. After seeing Preston with Harmony and how happy they are, I don’t know. Something changed. I’m not saying I’m ready to settle down like dipshit here and pop out a kid or two. But meeting someone to spend my time with might be kind of nice.”

“Hey!” Zeb said as he punched Colton in the arm. “You’re just jealous.”

The two of them went back and forth a bit before I held up my hands and stated, “I’m out of here. We still on for basketball in the morning, Colton?”

“Hell yeah,” Colton answered with a light smack on my back.

Walking out of the meeting hall, I felt like I was in a daze. It didn’t get any better on the cab ride over to Flanagan’s, my brother Preston’s pub.

Pulling out my phone, I hit Preston’s number.

“Hey, dude.”

Preston covered the phone and mumbled something to someone.

“Sorry. Harmony tried to reach for something.”

I couldn’t help but smile. I was glad Preston had met Harmony. Things were a little rough for them at first, but now they were expecting their first child and the Irish pub my brother bought from our uncle was thriving. I knew he missed being a firefighter, but he loved what he was doing now even more.

“Hope you got it for her.”
