If that's the case I better enjoy myself over the next twelve years or so.
But Owen slowly starts nodding. "And we should eat all of his favorite cereal the next morning."
My smile is quick and wide and—dammit—genuine. "You're okay with your kid knowing I spent the night?"
He shakes his head. "Probably not, but I'm very caught up in this moment and that whole idea of that. I'm probably not thinking straight."
I laugh, stupidly delighted. "We can table that part of the discussion until later.”
“Okay.”
“So we’re going out?"
"Yeah. Let's do it."
Yeah, let’s do it. I have no will power when it comes to sexy, but I guess I don’t when it comes to cute either. "Great. There's this bar I love. We could meet there on Sunday night. I don't have to work the next day so I can stay out a little later. Or stay out all night."
His eyes darken and I relish his attraction to me. Which is very convenient considering how I'm starting to feel about him.
"Let me take you to dinner,” he says.
"Dinner? Um…okay."
"Great. I'll pick you up at eight. We’ll go to Rinaldo’s."
Now both my brows arch. "Rinaldo's? That place is really nice."
He smiles and there's just a touch of affection in his expression. "Yeah, it is really nice. I'd love to take you there."
I pressed my hand against my stomach. "Wow, like a real date."
"Not like a real date. Actually a real date, Luna."
And now I’m a little breathless. "Honestly, I haven't been on a real date. Like dinner and the guy picks me up and all of that."
"Never?"
"We usually just meet somewhere, have drinks, something like that."
Something like determination crosses his face and he nods. "I am definitely taking you on a real date, Luna. I hope to take you on several."
Yeah, now my whole stomach swoops. And damn, I know I’m going to say yes when he asks me out. Every time.
This is worth carving time out of my schedule. To feel like this.
"So Sunday,” he says.
I nod.
“And we are going to continue this conversation about how you have to really be sure to clean up all your stuff the morning after you stay over.”
Stomach swoop and heart flip at the same time. "I can do that. I guess I’ll see you at eight."
CHAPTER 12
Alexsei
I’m in a bad fucking mood.
