Austin took a massive bite. “Oh, my God! This pizza is so much better than the stuff you get in Los Angeles. I might have to move back here for this.”
I crooked an eyebrow at him. “You’re getting married. How would Jessie feel about moving to New York?”
He shrugged. “I don’t know. We never discussed it.”
“You didn’t want to move here when I might. Now you do?”
“I could have. Gavin told me they still haven’t filled that position in the English department at NYU.”
“Are you thinking of moving here?”
“Well, my best friend lives here so that I might consider it.”
My cell began ringing, and I grabbed it from the counter to answer, turning my back on Austin. It was Marc, and he asked if I needed anything. I told him, no, but I appreciated him calling and would see him on the weekend. After I disconnected the call, I turned back to face Austin.
“Who was that?”
“Marc.”
Austin narrowed his eyes. “The guy you were at the hospital with?”
“Yes, he’s a friend I told you.”
“What kind of friend?”
“What kind of friends are there?”
“The kind that get into your panties. Is he that kind of friend?”
“That’s none of your business. Why do you care?”
“Because I’m a friend, too. I care about you and who’s around you.”
“You don’t need to worry. He’s a good guy, and so is Kurt and Ryan. They’re coming to the service tomorrow.”
His eyebrows raised in surprise. “You’re friends with three guys?”
“Yes. I dated Kurt, but it didn’t work out, no chemistry. I met Ryan and Marc through him. Marc used to hate me.”
“But things changed?”
“He brought me home drunk one night.”
“You don’t get drunk. You drink wine, and that’s it.”
“I had a few beers and needed some help. I don’t do it often.”
“He got you home and took advantage?” Austin growled.
“No. He was the perfect gentleman. Why are we having this conversation? We’re not dating.”
“I want you to be safe. I care about you.”
“Stop worrying about me. I’m fine. Worry about your wedding.”
“Jessie has it under control. I need to be there.”
“You don’t sound pleased about it. Do you really want to marry her?”
