My BFF sent the hot stranger a voice note

Of me saying I want to climb him like a tree.

And he just. Texted. Back.

Its the dogs fault, really.

If this untrained Great Dane Im walking had any manners at all, I never wouldve ended up here:

With my leash wrapped around the most gorgeous man Ive ever seen.

Lucky for me, the guy is a good sport about it.

(Although his joke that “Dogs take after their owners” hits a little too close to home when Rufus starts humping his leg.)

He leaves me with his business card and a smile that makes my knees weak.

Im still pinching myself as me and the bestie resume our walk.

“Methinks you had a little crush on him,” she accuses.

Not thinking and a little flustered by the whole experience, I reply, “I’d wrap my legs around his waist tighter than that leash.”

THATS when she reveals that shed been recording my response.

THATS when she gives me the most devilish grin Ive ever seen and says, “Youre welcome.”

And THATS when she hands me my phone and reveals

She sent the recording to him.

My heart is in my throat as those three little dots appear…

Then a text.

“PROVE IT.”
