Excerpt
Placing my elbows at the edge of the countertop, I collapsed on the barstool, feeling exhausted. I had never been on a date where I felt like I needed a vacation only two hours in. “What can I get ya?” the young guy behind the bar asked. “A decoy, maybe a smoke bomb.” He looked at me in confusion. “Date from hell, dude. Ever had one of those moments where you’re wondering how the fuck you got yourself in such a mess?” He chuckled and looked up over my shoulder. “Oh.” He smirked and nodded. “Marissa.” The fact he knew her name made me cringe. I had a feeling this was worse than I had initially thought. “Oh fuck, what? She’s a stalker or some freaky chick that’s gonna claim we’re engaged? I’ll spend months getting her to leave me the fuck alone, won’t I?” He handed me a beer and shook his head, chuckling to himself, then poured a shot of tequila and set it on the bar next to my beer. “You’re gonna need that.” I let my head fall to my hands and grumbled as I mentally cussed out Greyson and myself for even showing up. “Good luck, man.” I didn’t even lift my head. It was pointless; I knew he was eating this up. His laughter faded as he worked his way down the bar, serving others. “I see you don’t suffer from coulrophobia,” came a soft whisper from my right. I immediately lifted my head and was taken aback by the girl sitting at my side. How had I missed her? Oh, I know, I’d had tunnel vision as I ran from Cruella toward my next drink. “What?” I asked, yet all I could focus on was her piercing blue eyes. I had never seen eyes that blue before. “The fear of clowns,” she stated. “Coulrophobia.” I remained focused on her beauty, taking the time to look at each feature, wondering why in the hell she couldn’t have been the brunette from the coffee shop. My night would have been a whole hell of a lot better if she was in Marissa’s place. I knew I was staring, but I couldn’t stop myself. She had mentioned something about clowns, but I was lost. I had no idea what she was talking about. My gaze fell to her plump, full lips, and I smirked. No red lipstick graced them. They held only a sheer film of shiny gloss, and I loved that she preferred the more natural look. When they curved upward in a smile, I didn’t feel even the slightest bit embarrassed that she knew I was checking her out so closely. When her eyes met mine, she nudged her head toward Marissa. “I was referring to your date. She kinda resembles a clown.” I stared at her and could see she was fighting back her laughter. She lifted her drink to her lips and took a small sip before lowering it. I could no longer hold back my own smile. “I fucking hate clowns.”
