Summary:
Rusty needs a girl. Maybe.
He was in a bar in Pittsburgh when it hit him. Some chick walked up to him and in one glance he knew. Right then and there he could tell you what she liked, what she disliked, her political views, everything about her. Hell, he could probably get her name in five guesses and her birthday in two. It was all written right there, out in the open, plain for the eye to see if the eye knew which way to look. Clothes, hair, jewelry, stance, make-up, expression, those were the parts of a woman. He didn’t need a girl.
Problem was, he’d had girls. They were boring. He knew women too well, could slip in and out of their head like nothing. He knew them so well he thought he was becoming one. Taking a drink he glanced down his shirt. Yep, still flat. Good. Maybe he’d had enough to drink for the night.
“Hey, handsome, can I buy you a drink?”
“Sure.” One more never hurt. He smiled and he played with the girl, asked her questions like he was trying to get to know her when the only thing he really wanted was to prove himself right.
Yep, got it in one. Name was easy too. Cheryl. She looked like a Cheryl. So if he didn’t want women, what did he want?
