Free Size Matters by Stephanie Haefner Page B

knocked on the door. Why was he so damn insecure? Why couldn’t he just get over it? So stupid. Maybe he should forget about Bryn—and every other woman for that matter—and accept his permanent bachelorhood.
    He didn’t know what to do, but obviously he needed to give Bryn some space. Easier said than done.

CHAPTER Ten
    P ENNY. I need you and your computer skills,” Bryn said when she walked into Classy ’n’ Sassy Monday morning.
    “Yeah? Got some new promo ideas for the shop?”
    “Oh, I’ve got ideas. But it’s promo for me and my vagina.”
    Penny sputtered. “What?”
    “I want to try online dating and you know how to work the Internet better than me.”
    “Are you sure you’re ready for that?”
    “So ready.” Bryn hung up her purse in the closet. “I did my hair and makeup and made sure to wear something cute so you can take a sexy picture for my profile.”
    “What about Eli?”
    Bryn waved her hand. “He’s old news. I’m ready to move on. What do I do first?”
    “I can set you up on Forever Mate. It’s one of the best ones out there, I’m told.”
    “Perfect.”
    Penny brought up the site and they entered Bryn’s basic information for the profile. “Now you need to pick a user name.”
    “Just use my name.”
    “No. You don’t use your real name. Pick something cute like Looking4love.”
    “Yeah, that doesn’t sound desperate or anything. Can’t we do something normal? Like LingerieGirl.”
    “That’s gonna attract all the wrong guys.”
    Bryn didn’t think this was going to be so damn hard. “I don’t care. Just make something up.”
    Penny thought for a minute. “How about SassyLady? ‘Sassy’ for your part of the shop and ‘Lady’ so you still sound elegant.”
    “I like it.”
    “Good. Now we need to enter all your likes and dislikes.”
    “I like great sex. Can we put that on there?”
    “I’m thinking that’s not a good idea. I mean, there are Web sites for that, but you’re not gonna find love there.”
    Fabulous string-free sex sounded heavenly.
    “Or a man without a slew of sexually transmitted diseases,” Penny added.
    Oh yeah. She needed to think about that kind of thing.
    “I was referring to hobbies and such.”
    “I don’t know. Dancing, karaoke, cheeseburgers. You know me. Just fill it in.”
    Penny shook her head and laughed as she tapped away at the keyboard. “How about dislikes?”
    “That’s easy. I detest insecure men.”
    “I’m thinking there’s a story there.”
    “You have no idea. I’m so sick of Eli’s penis insecurities. I need a man who’s confident about his abilities, small dick or not.”
    “Good to know.” Penny typed away. “Now I need to know what kind of man you’re looking for. Like age and stuff.”
    “I guess thirty to forty. Good physique. Can I say that?”
    “Yeah, there’s a drop-down box for body shape. How about height?”
    “A little taller than me, even with heels, so at least five ten. But no taller than, like, six three. I don’t want a giant.”
    Penny looked up from the screen. “You do realize that’s only a five-inch spread.”
    “Oh. I should probably be a little more open than that, huh? Okay, go five nine to six four.”
    Penny rolled her eyes and giggled. “Okay, boss.” She clicked a few more things, typed a couple of more times, and looked up. “Almost done. Just need a photo.”
    Penny grabbed her cell phone and Bryn posed against the hot pink wall behind her, the signature shade for Classy ’n’ Sassy.
    After a few moments, Penny had the photo uploaded and Bryn’s profile was ready. “One click of the mouse and it goes live. Are you sure you wanna do this?”
    “Yes.” And she really did. She was so ready to get out there.
    “Okay.” Penny clicked the mouse and the live profile came onto the screen. A little envelope icon blinked in the corner. “You already have a message.”
    “Yay! Open it.”
    Penny clicked. It was just a welcome message, but Bryn was giddy.
