“Didn’t look like nothing the other night.”
No answer.
“I hope it works out. I like her.”
“There’s nothing to work out. We’re not a thing.”
Of course they aren’t. Devon doesn’t do “things,” otherwise known as relationships. “Too bad. She’s smart and nice. She’s sort of a friend, but I say go for it.”
A not-so-subtle attempt to feel him out about the whole Enzo thing. I hold my breath and wait for his reply.
“You guys aren’t exactly close.”
I shrugged. “No, not really, but even if we were, you’d totally have my stamp of approval.”
Another guttural male sound.
“To sleep with her? I highly doubt it.”
I make a face. “No, ass. To date her.”
Devon looks at me like I’ve lost my marbles. “This is why I don’t date your friends.”
“Because you’re incapable of a real relationship? And only do one-night stands?”
I really shouldn’t have asked the question because I already know the answer.
“Yes. Exactly,” Devon confirms.
Which is when I toss a pillow at him. “And that’s why they call them throw pillows.”
Devon laughs and goes back to watching his show. “I’m pretty sure that’s not why.”
But I’m no longer interested in arguing with him. So much for feeling him out. Devon is utterly incapable of a serious conversation. But it does make me think. Based on the press I’ve seen, Enzo has never really gotten serious about anyone. What if he’s a one-night-stand kind of guy? But if so, would he really risk coming on to me? He’d have to know Devon wouldn’t appreciate his sister being used for sex.
Am I completely overthinking this? He didn’t ask me on a date or anything. He just sent a simple email asking how I’m doing. That’s it.
When my phone vibrates, I snatch it up like it’s the hot potato and the song’s winding down.
Enzo: And now I have your number ;)
That was quick. I love that he’s not playing games. So I text right back.
Chari: And now I have yours. ;)
Enzo: Go out with me this weekend?
Oh my God! So much for text foreplay. But that’s exactly Enzo. He goes for what he wants, no hesitation. Always has.
Does that mean he wants me?
Chari: That escalated quickly.
Enzo: A sign of things to come?
Holy shit on a stick. What doesthatmean?
Chari: Maybe?
