My sister was a nut, but I loved her. She could be dismissive and oblivious, but she was always kind and generous. When she asked me to be her surrogate so she could continue to dance and not lose her figure, my initial reaction was hell to the no. That was something else about my sister, though. She had the amazing ability to wear me down over time. When she told me the real reason she wanted me to be her surrogate, I couldn't possibly say no. It was a major complication in my life. I could handle being pregnant for nine months and giving birth and handing over the baby to her. I wasn't sure I could handle starting a new relationship with a guy who was so far out of my league we weren't even in the same stratosphere. What the hell was I going to do now? I couldn't say no to my sister, but I definitely did not want to lose my chance with the hot construction worker. Walking into that coffee shop, in the middle of yuppie central, I did not expect to find a down to earth, logically minded, beautiful goddess. And yet, there she was. Sitting at a table with an equally beautiful woman, arguing about who knew what. I had to meet her. I had to get to know her. I needed her to be part of my life. I made eye contact. I winked, I smiled, I did all the things that had worked for me before. And then I walked out of the coffee shop because I had to go to work and I was no closer to meeting this gorgeous woman. I was determined to go back to that coffee shop every day for the rest of the year on the off chance that she would also be there and I would get to actually meet her; talk to her. Then she walked out behind me and walked right into my chest. I got my date ... too bad I acted like an ass and almost ruined my chances with her. Now, I had to do whatever it took to get her back and keep her by my side.
