“I’m not going to lie to her.”
“Good. I don’t want you to lie to her.”
Asa narrowed his eyes in suspicion.
André remained still.
If this was going to work, Asa had to play this cool. Otherwise, he could throw all his plans out the window.
André’s eyes cut back to the buzzing phone with Nikki’s beautiful face on the screen.
“Are you going to answer?” André held his breath as Asa reached for his phone. He slid his thumb across the screen and put it to his ear.
“Hello?” Asa’s dark eyes remained on André as he spoke to Nikki. “I’m at lunch.”
True.
“With André.”
Fuck.
“Because he asked me to lunch. Are you jealous?” Asa baited. “Ew. No. I’m sorry I asked.” A light laugh trickled through the phone right before Asa hung up. “Instant regret.”
André released his breath and sat back in the booth.
A moment later their server dropped off chips and salsa.
Asa crunched into the chips. André sipped his ice water. But neither of them spoke.
André had decided he would let Asa set the tone for this lunch. He didn’t want to pressure him into anything. For this to work, it had to be natural. Easy.
This was fine.
They were fine.
Or they would be.
Eventually.
“So…” Asa said, dusting the salt from his hands and folding them on the table. “Nikki must have told you this was my favorite restaurant?”
“You told me once. I just remembered.”
Asa lifted his chin and pursed his lips.
“What happens after lunch?” Asa asked.
“That depends on what happens during lunch,” André replied.
