"What?" Her eyes widen.
"I'm not talking about this anymore. We're at a restaurant and we're drinking and I don't want to gross you out, but let's just say that Kingston Chase has got some moves." My phone pings again. "Hey, do you mind if I take this real quick? I'll be right back."
"Not at all," she says. "In fact, Remi sent me a couple of text messages that I should probably answer, so I'll just do that while you take your call."
"Sounds good. I'll be right back." I get up and leave the table and head outside and call Kingston. He answers on the second ring.
"Where are you?" he says.
"I am having drinks with Juniper, remember?"
"Oh. Yeah, yeah. I was wondering what was going on."
"Okay. What's up?"
"I wanted to know if you wanted to come over tonight."
"I don't know. I mean, we'll see each other on Saturday."
"Yeah. Well, I was kind of thinking we could see each other tonight as well. You know, get our fun times on a little earlier this week?"
"Kingston."
"Obviously, if you are not interested in that, it's fine. I can call someone else. I just?—"
"Excuse me?"
"I'm just saying. I'm just joking," he says, though, for a few moments, I don't actually think he's joking.
"I heard back from Love is Blind," I blurt out, and I'm not sure why.
"Love is Blind. What's that?"
"The show I told you about, the dating show?"
"What dating show?"
"The dating show I told you I was applying to be on, because?—"
"Oh, okay. So what about them?"
"I have an audition for the next step," I mumble.
"Oh," he says.
"And I have to let them know by tomorrow evening."
"Okay, so what are you saying?"
"I'm saying I'm wondering what you think I should say." I feel awkward and weird and uncomfortable as I stand here. If he tells me not to move forward, I'll know that I mean something to him, that this is more than just a friends with benefits, let's-see-how-it-goes situation. I'll know that he's falling for me, like I've been falling for him.
"Is this something that you really want?"
"What do you mean?"
"What do you think I mean? Is this something that you really want?"
"I want a boyfriend. I want a commitment. I want to find the love of my life, yeah," I say, honestly.
