He looks me up and down in the dress. "I mean you don't have a flat ass," he smirks. "Which is good."
"Thanks, I guess."
"You look very beautiful, Skye," he says softly, almost like he’s dumbfounded. "And your hair, it looks different.”
"I straightened it out for the day. I cannot believe I wasted my time doing that.” I don’t know why I feel so self-conscious about my hair. Or why my heart is racing like I’m about to be crowned Ms. America.
"I like it curly, but it looks really nice straight." He stares into my eyes and the intensity of his gaze warms my insides. "Chin up. It's not like you were going to marry the man," he says, chuckling slightly.
"That's not even funny. He's such a douchebag. Why do I always meet douchebags?"
"I don't know." He shrugs. "Maybe because you haven't met a man like me yet."
I raise a single eyebrow. "No comment. Anyway," I say. "Why do you want to have a double date when you're with someone like Angelica?"
"To be honest? she is a lot more needy than I remember. Besides, I just wanted to have a fun thing and she's already talking about diamond rings from Tiffany's."
"What?" I say, grinning. "She's your girlfriend or…?"
"No." He shakes his head. "She's someone I went on a couple of getaways with a couple of years ago and I just gave her a call to see if she wanted to hang out."
"I see." My mind is wondering when he says a couple of dates a couple of years ago, did they just go to dinner, or did they do more? I bite down on my lip.
"What is it?" he asks.
"Nothing," I say, shaking my head quickly. "I just..."
"You just what?"
"I was just wondering something."
"Wondering what?"
"You know, if you guys..." I open my eyes wide and he bursts out laughing.
"Oh, Skye, you know I'm a man, right?"
I feel jealousy surge through me. So he and Angelica have slept together and now they're on another date. Were they going to sleep together tonight? I try not to think about it. I don't want to think about it. I don't want to picture him with another woman, which is crazy because he's my boss and it's not like he's my man.
"I mean, good for you. She’s very beautiful." I nod.
"I don't think I'm going to go down that road with her again though," he says, smirking. "Not that that's any of your business."
"Not that I wanted to know anyway," I say.
"Sure you didn't," he says. "So, we combining the reservations?"
I stare at him for a couple of seconds before I nod slightly.
He grins. "So we have a little bit of a truce?"
"For tonight," I say. "I'm still mad at you."
"As you should be." He grins. "But I am sure you are quite happy that I was here to save you from your horrible date tonight."
"I didn't need saving. I was about to leave, but I am hungry, so I'll take a free meal and some drinks and enjoy the night as best as I can."
"So is that all this night is about for you then? A free meal and free drinks?"
