Becky nodded, not picking up on the lie.
"I think I have just the thing," she said as she walked out from behind the counter. "We got snew Pjs in yesterday, so this is good timing. " Lucky me... Nan thought to herself.

"Do you want to try it on?" Becky asked, raising her hands.
"No, need. I'm sure they'll fit fine," Nan said, nibbling on her lower lip.
Becky chuckled and walked back towards the counter.
"Well okay then," Becky replied over her shoulder.
"So..." Nan said as she followed her to the counter. "How was your date the other night?" Becky shrugged.
"The date itself was fine. He was such a gentleman," Becky answered. "I was he'd inviteto his place ...but he didn't. He droppedoff at hand kissed my cheek.” Nan's chest tightened; his lips were on her skin? The thought made Nan feel sick to her stomach and she had to swallow down the bile that rose in her throat.
"But he's been a little absent-minded lately," Becky continued. “Like there's been something on his mind. We've seen each other a couple of times since that date, and it was the same... it's obvious he isn't tellingsomething. I think there might be someone else." Nan frowned.
"Someone else?" She asked, raising her brows, Could his mate have yet another woman in his life? Who was this guy? She thought about asking what his nwas, but then she thought maybe it would be better if she didn't know. At least for right now. If she knew his name, then it would make this whole thing real and she wasn't ready for that yet.
"Yeah," she said with a frown as she got lost in thought. "He seems preoccupied when we hang out. He kept staring at his phone. And when I tried to make a move on him to distract him, he would brushoff. He hasn't even kissed my lips yet. It's always only the cheek" "Did you ask him who he was talking to?"

"So, are you going to try and make it work with him... or...?" Nan askedn pressing for more information as Becky rang in the pajama set and told her the total. Nan dug in her purse for her wallet, her fingers trembling as she waited for s answer.
"I don't think so," Becky finally replied. "I mean, maybe if we had more of a connection. But I honestly think it's just a physical thing. At least on my epdr wanted to jump his bones, but he could barely touch me, so I doubted he was attracted to me.
However, he askedout again for tonight and I declined him. Probably better if we are just friends; know what I mean?" Nan nodded as she finally found her wallet and pulled out her credit card, handing it to Becky.
