be good, though, knowing she wasn’t ready for anything he was prepared to give right then, but that didn’t change the fact that he still wanted to get to know her. There was some serious chemistry between the two of them, and he knew if he was patient enough, she might change her mind eventually.
Meagan reached into her pockets and piled a wad of paper on top of the bar, and suddenly the laughter got louder as Ashley added hers to the pile and sifted through it.
“A penny for your thoughts?”
Coop smiled as Cory approached him, “I was just thinking that Meagan’s going to work out around here after all, and I’m glad Ashley seems to like her.”
“What’s not to like?” Brett teased him again, making Cory chuckle. The three of them turned to look at the two women sitting across from them again.
“Watch it.” Coop decided to take the focus off himself. “I can’t believe that asshole tonight, thinking that he could come in here and grab at her like that.”
“You mean Greg? Don’t sweat it. I think he got the message loud and clear. He was a little pissed off when we threw him outta here tonight, though.”
“Good,” Coop said, with eyes on Meagan again. “Now what do you say we go see what all that giggling is about?”
“Man, you got it bad.” Brett snickered, and Cory chuckled again.
“Oh my God, Meagan, look at all of these…”
“Are there any in there you recognize? Because feel free to take your pick. I’m just going to put them in the recycle bin anyway.” Meagan shrugged.
“That’s probably what it is. You know, not only are you beautiful, but you’ve got that hard-to-get, I’m not interested thing going on, and everyone wants what’s just out of reach.”
“If you say so.” Meagan laughed. “Thanks for the compliment, I think.”
Before Ashley could comment, Coop interrupted. “I think she’s got you there. What’s all this?” He gestured between them.
“Looks to me like our girls here are popular.” Brett whistled and took a look at the heap in front of them. “They’re phone numbers and little love notes. Damn, Coop, they’re almost as popular as we are.”
Coop chuckled. “Can you blame them?” he said teasingly, and Meagan blushed again.
“No, I can’t.” Cory leaned over to wipe the bar clean, including the pile of numbers and notes. Two handfuls went into the recycling bin. Coop smiled wide and enjoyed the temporary show.
“What the hell was that for?” Ashley jumped off the stool, her hands balled into fists, and then rested on her hips to wait for an answer.
“From what I understand, Meagan isn’t interested, and you don’t need any man’s number either.” Cory shrugged, and Ashley became angrier. If looks could kill…
“And how would you know what I need?”
“How about I show you instead?” Cory jumped over the bar and stood in front of her. “We’ve been dancing around each other for months, and I’m sick of waiting. Fuck that we work together. Let’s take this friendship to a whole other level, honey. But be forewarned I’m not the sharing type of guy.”
Her fists loosened at her sides, and Coop could pinpoint the exact moment Ashley turned to putty right in Cory’s hands. Everyone was silent as they watched the exchange.
Cory continued. “Now I’m going to kiss you, and then I want to go home and make you forget about those phone numbers and any other guy who set his sights on you. I’m going to finally make you mine.” The last part was a whisper before their lips finally locked in a passionate kiss.
Coop looked down to see that Meagan had the same goofy smile on her face as he did on his. It was great to see Cory and Ashley together. He had watched them fight their attraction for quite a while and was glad that Cory finally manned up and did something about it.
“Oh my God, they are so cute together.” Meagan sighed as she gestured toward them and looked up at him with such a beautiful smile.
