Chapter 11
Bella
"Any more Mr. Perverts, oops, pardon, Mr. Perfects online?" Rose jokes on a cross trainer next to mine.
"I`ve chatted with a few, one or two are quite nice."
"Woohoo, go Bella!"
"There`s Jacob - a personal trainer, Alistair the sports reporter in a newspaper, then there`s a car dealer…"
"Wow," Rose puffs heavily and steps off of the machine. "It looks like you are really enjoying playing the field, so to speak. I never thought you`d get so much into it. Tell me about them all, starting with the personal trainer. I love myself a muscly man."
"Hold your horses, Rosey Posey. Firstly it`s only a virtual pool and you can safely flirt and joke without any pressure, so I don`t worry about impressing anyone specifically and desperately. Secondly, it`s nothing serious, I`m just trying to get a feeling, if your dirty mind can conceive what I mean. And thirdly, what do you mean you like yourself a muscly man? I thought Riley had enough muscles for you?" I finish with a raised brow. Rose`s boyfriend although attractive, isn`t exactly her usual type, which is a man with well-defined arms and stomach.
"I simply appreciate a male form. Now, on with the program. What`s his name? Jacob?"
"He prefers to be called Jake, to be precise."
"Interesting," my cousin squints her eyes and I roll mine.
I won`t tell her that for the past week and a half I`ve been e-mailing and chatting back and forth with those three men while secretly wondering where the caviar guy has gone and who he actually is.
