“And you thought to just drop by?”
Walking into his kitchen, he opened the drawer where he kept all his favorite takeout menus.
“Well, you didn’t answer your phone.”
She came to stand next to him, her hands sliding along his back as she leaned her face against his arm. Gently disengaging himself from her, he pulled out the menus for his favorite pizza joints.
“Maybe you should’ve gotten the hint that I didn’t want to speak with you.”
Walking past her, he looked down at his watch, wondering how much longer Alana would be.
“I just figured you were buried in work.”
Her laugh was like nails on a chalkboard, causing him to grimace. He wasn’t sure what he saw in her before.
Taking a seat on the couch, he spread the menus out on the coffee table, trying to decide which restaurant he would order from.
“Working hard pays the bills,” he muttered. He didn’t need her reminding him of what his brother and family had been telling him for years.
“And it allows you to play hard.”
She slid onto the couch next to him, her short skirt leaving little to the imagination. Her long legs were tan and golden, but didn’t do anything for him.
He realized he preferred a deep caramel skinned woman. Almond-shaped eyes that were magnified by her quirky glasses. If he closed his eyes, he could still taste her from their kiss in the bookshop.
“I wasn’t trying to go anywhere this weekend. I just wanted to relax at home for once.”
“That’s cool.” Her hand rested on his knee, and instead of desire rushing through him, he only felt nauseous. She ran her hand up his leg and leaned into him with a small smile on her lips. “We can have plenty of fun here if you like. Anything you want to do, I’m down for it.”
He just wanted her to leave.
Any other time, he would go with the flow of having a beautiful woman show up at his apartment. He was always down for a little fun.
But now, there was only one person he wanted to spend time with.
Where was Alana?
He glanced down at his watch again.
“Seriously, you’ve looked at your watch at least three times since I’ve been here,” Bianca whined.
“That’s what happens when you show up uninvited,” he snapped, getting to his feet.
“I just wanted us to have a little—”
“Us?” he growled, all patience gone. “There has never been an ‘us.’”
“London!”
“We fucked. That was it. There was nothing between us, and there’s not going to be. You were just an easy lay.”
“Fuck you,” Bianca screeched, her face contorted in anger as she stalked toward him. “You’re a dick, you know that?”
“A dick you’re not getting tonight,” he snapped.
Her eyes flared. She looked as though she had more to say, but she spun around and stalked through the apartment toward the door.
“Your dick wasn’t all that,” she threw out over her shoulder.
