Janice Lynn - Friend, Fling, Forever?

Who?

You know who.

Ah, the ex. He was there. Looking better every day.

Good for him.

There was a long enough pause that Kami wondered if Gabe was going to respond again.

Come on, Gabe. I need you to take my mind to a better place so I can close my eyes and stop my brain from racing because I feel sorry for a cat who has my mother as a caregiver.

Want me to take a picture for you next time I

see him?

The idea of Gabe snapping a shot of Baxter working out had Kami laughing out loud.

People might get the wrong idea, think you had a man crush on him.

Yeah, well, I’m the kind of guy who would risk it to help a friend.

Good one. I’m still not bidding on you.

She lay back, head sinking into her pillow as she stared at her phone screen.

So you keep saying.

You think I will?

Hoping you will. Spoke to Debbie this morning. She’s talking to her producer about the fund-raiser, see what they can come up with to help.

He’d already talked to his ex about the fund-raiser? Then again, Gabe had said he would and she’d never known him not to follow through on something he’d said he’d do.

Awesome. Hope it wasn’t too painful. Thank you.

Thank you for all you’re doing to help Beverly and her baby girl. If it wasn’t for you and Mindy putting so much into this the fund-raiser wouldn’t even be happening.

Ha, I’m not sacrificing nearly as much as you. She was only doing what she thought needed to be done to help with the overwhelming expenses that come with having a seriously ill baby. I’m not the one being auctioned off.

So you admit you feel badly for me?

That you’re going to have women fighting over you with their wallets? Sure, I’m heartbroken. Poor, poor Gabe.

You’re a funny girl, Kam.

She could picture his smile.

Something like that.

Why aren’t you asleep? You were clamoring to get home to bed when I asked you to have pancakes with me.

Yeah, she had been. Too bad sleep continued to elude her.

I had errands to run. I may or may not have drunk coffee. Just saying.

It’s not too late for those pancakes.

Sure it is. I’m in bed.

Nothing wrong with breakfast in bed. You want syrup or cherries and whipped cream? I recommend the cherries and whipped cream, but I admit I’m biased.

Kami stared at her phone screen and shook her head. The man was incorrigible.

Good thing she knew better than to take him seriously.

A smile on her face, she snuggled into her covers and began typing a response worthy of his outrageous suggestion.
