“I think hismother is planning some kind of dinner.”
“Then I willlook forward to it.”
Chapter 14
“Stop it.”He ordered mildly when she tugged the dress hem for what seemed thetenth time.
“It's riding upmy crotch.” She complained. It was their first date, and he hadinsisted on picking the restaurant.
“I don’twant our first time going out to be a Burger King.”
“I was thinkingof Wendy's - in memory of your ex.” She said cheekily.
“You arefunny.”
“A regularcomedian.”
He had insisted onbuying her outfit. The dress, a Romano’s original, was made ofsoft and shimmering material, the color an electric blue that wasstriking against her skin.
The bodice was fittedand tight enough to plump up her small breasts, and it was almostindecent as far as she was concerned. She had brushed her braids backand slathered the front of her hair with gel. She had put on largegold hoops in the first lobes.
“And you donot get to buy my clothes ever. That’s not the deal.”
“You don’tlike shopping,” he pointed out. He enjoyed looking at her andwas aware that she was the focus of every male eye in the room.
“There is areason for that.” She looked around the fancy restaurant andcould pick out a few celebrities and some politicians. “Itfeels stupid dressing up so we can eat a meal.”
“It’scalled dating, darling.”
“I am not amoron.”
“Are you goingto be bitching all night?”
“It depends.What are we having?”
“Something onthe menu.” He grinned as she glared at him. Leaning forward, hestole a kiss, tongue darting into her mouth and melting her.
“Break it up,you two.”
“Kane.”Pulling back, Cooper gave her a lazy, intimate look before greetinghis friend. “Meet my girl, Dr. Brooke Campbell.”
“Anotherdoctor. It must make for an interesting relationship. Hi, Brooke.”He extended a hand, which she took with a smile. “My wife isaround here someplace, and I am sure she would love to meet you. Inthe meantime, I recommend the house special.”
“Which is?”
Kane smiled at her.“Seafood a la mode. We have the best chef in town. And acomplimentary bottle of the house white.”
“Thanks,man.”
“Wendy likesyou.”
Her eyes glittered.“I don’t know how I feel about you and your ex discussingme.”
“She was justsaying how much she admires you. She was prepared to hate you andcame away a fan.”
She shrugged. “Sheis not a complete moron. She enjoyed herself and will be returning,not because she wants to give the competition hell, but because shegenuinely wants to help. My Mother wants to meet you.”
“You toldher.”
