EXCERPT #1 âGoodnight, Bonita.â âGoodnight, Ralph.â I smiled and walked to my apartmentâs door and put the right key in the lock. âWait! Whoâs Ralph?â I turned and regarded him. He looked confused. Gorgeous, delicious, but confused. I was so good at messing with Alpha boys. âOh, gosh. Iâm just an innocent Cheesehead.â I shrugged my shoulders, batted my eyes and pretended to swoon. âWhat do I know?â âApparently more than I gave you credit for,â he said. âAbout time.â I opened the door to my place and stepped inside. âThanks forââ âWhat do I get when I figure it out?â He stared at me. âI meanâwhen I figure out the Ralph reference I should at least win a prize or something for my efforts.â âYouâre never going to figure it out.â âDonât underestimate me.â âWhat kind of prize do you want?â I asked. âI want to kiss you,â he said. A shiver zipped up and down my spine. I thought about it for a moment. Realized heâd never find the right answer. Heâd also lose all interest in me the more he drove me. He thought I was exotic. I knew I was boring. So my reply was easy. âYes, Alejandro,â I said. âYes, you can kiss me if you figure it out.â I shut my door, leaned back against it and smiled. Sophie: Two. Alejandro: Zero.
