He didn't expect it when they went out for a post game drink the night to meet her. The tall leggy brunette walked over and hugged Benny for a moment .
" Eve Sutton it's been a while, how are you ?" " This is Sage Donovan , my girlfriend."
Eve smiled. "So Benny found one who took him off the market finally. Nice to meet you Sage. Benny and I worked together at the District Attorneys office a lifetime ago and then I went into federal prosecution while he went to work for Dr. Bull ."
Sage nodded. " I teach at NYU and I met Benny at an old movie one rainy Sunday. He took me for dinner after and well here we are now." She kissed Benny's cheek.
Eve's eyes drifted over and locked with Jason's. " So what do you do when you're not working Dr. Bull?"
He replied. " I read some James Patterson and John Grisham. Also listen to some Dave Matthews here and there."
" Well since I read both of them and listen to that band, I think we could be friends." She slipped him her card with her personal cell number on the back.
" I'd like that and it's Jason." He handed her his own number. " I haven't hit the bookstore in a while so if you'd like to go tommorrow and get coffee let me know."
" Sure , I have a few other friends that I'm meeting here but I'll definitely call you . It won't be early say around ten or so."
" I'll be waiting. It was nice meeting you Eve. ". He smiled
" You too Jason." " Call me Benny when you and Sage want to do brunch. I want to get to know this woman who stole my best friends heart."
Benny nodded. " I will, this weekend is going to be a lazy one."
" Good enough I'll talk to you soon." Then she headed off to another area of the same bar.
" I can't believe you never told me about her Benny." Jason said.
" Well honestly she is one of a few people who didn't turn on me when I left . She's a good friend who needs a good man in her life. Other than her cat that is."
" I'll be nice I promise . If nothing else happens I'll make a friend."
Then they had their drinks and some bar munchies and talked.
" Everyone sleep an extra hour on Monday. We are getting into cold season and I don't want anyone getting run down ."
" All right ." They said .
Jason made some other small talk but his mind drifted back to Eve. She looked amazing in casual pants and that deep red was perfect with her hazel eyes. And she was just tall enough for him. It had been a while since he had been interested but it felt good.
