“You need some water and food.”
The room was spinning slightly, and I felt dizzy. “I need a nap.”
Marc laughed and smoothed his honey blond hair off his forehead. He was cute with deep brown eyes and a dimple in his right cheek when he smiled.
“You want to go home?”
“I think so. I’m not sure I can make it alone.”
“I could take you.”
“You? You hate me.”
“I don’t hate you. I like you now that I know you better.”
“Let’s see if Ryan and Kurt want to go home.”
Twenty minutes later, and they finally showed up at our table with a couple of young women they met waiting for the bathroom.
“Want to get some pizza?” Kurt asked.
I winced. “Yuck. I need to go home.”
“I’ll take you if you want,” Marc said.
Kurt and Ryan gave each other a look then asked if I would mind.
I shook my head. “Nope. I need help and Marc’s offering.”
Marc practically carried me out of the cab. My legs weren’t working so well as I slipped from the seat. He put his arm around me and led me to the elevators.
“Where’s my purse?”
“You didn’t bring it,” Marc said as he got me into the elevator.
I shoved my hand into my pocket as I leaned against the wall for support.
“Here it is.”
“Here, what is?”
I pulled my hand out, and my key fell to the floor. Marc picked it up just as the elevator dinged, and the doors opened. He helped me down the hall, unlocked the door, and led me into my apartment, whistling as he looked around.
“Nice place.”
“Yep. I like it better than my house in Los Angeles.”
“You’re from there?”
“Sure. Didn’t Kurt tell you? I used to be a big CEO of a film company, then it all fell apart.”
“You got fired?”
I wiped drool from the corner of my mouth. “I lost him and almond.”
“Who?”
“Him. Austin. He didn’t want me anymore.”
