He glares at the guy who was flirting with her, and I grin as I watch them.
“Um, I’m having a drink with some friends. Why?”
“You shouldn’t be here,” he says, and she frowns.
“Why not? I’m old enough.”
“It’s no place for you.”
“Excuse me?”
I snort. I want to help the guy out, but I’m afraid to try with the way Lilou glares at me.
“Go away,” she tells him, and he shakes his head.
He crosses his arms and goes back to glaring at Lilou’s admirer.
“She’s talking to you,” Milo tells the guy, and I start laughing.
“No, I wasn’t!” Lilou says in exasperation.
“You’re interested in this prick?”
“Oh my God,” she groans, burying her face in her hands.
Cameron is giggling as she watches the show, and I widen my eyes at her when I see Ford headed her way.
“Uh oh,” I say, and she frowns.
“Cameron. Don’t you have the morning shift tomorrow?” Ford asks her as he joins our table.
He takes a different approach from Milo and just shoulders his way past the guy to get closer to Cameron. I grin, watching the new couple.
“Yeah, but it’s not even nine o’clock at night. I’ll leave before midnight,” she says, trying to brush him off.
“Are you sure that’s a good idea?”
“Yeah, boss. I’ll be fine.”
“I’ll stay and make sure of that.”
“That’s not necessary,” she replies.
It’s fascinating, like watching a tennis match.
“Here you go, love,” Fisher says as he sets another mojito in front of me.
Kerry is looking back and forth between Lilou and Cameron, and I smile as I take a sip of my drink.
“Kerry, does Charlie know that you’re here?” Ford asks, and she straightens.
“No, why?”
Ford doesn’t answer; just pulls out his phone and sends off a text. I have a feeling that I know who and what he’s texting. It won’t be long until Charlie shows up.
“You’re trying to annoy all of us until we leave, aren’t you?” Cameron asks in a resigned tone.
By now, the guys who came over with the shots have all given up and wandered off. Milo is still glaring at him over in the corner every now and then, but the rest of the time, his attention is focused on Lilou.
