“Here you go! One Diet Pepsi,” Lilly said as she set my drink down. “Ready to order?”
“Yes!” Wes quickly said. “I’ll have the spicy beef garlic noodles.”
I narrowed my eyes at him. “What? No plans of kissing anyone in front of anyone else today?”
He shot me a dirty look. “That doesn’t even make any sense.”
“Lilly,” I said as I kept my eyes on Wes. “Did I make sense?”
“Um, you did. He’s getting the garlic noodles, so we assume he isn’t going to be kissing you after this.”
My head jerked to the left. “Me? No, not me. He’s not kissing me.”
Wes laughed. “God, no. That would be like kissing a…”
His voice trailed off as Lilly and I both turned to look at him. He motioned for me to order.
“Go, order. I don’t have long for lunch.”
Rolling my eyes, I handed Lilly the menu. “The usual.”
She grinned. “Cilantro lime chicken. Would you like any starters?”
I looked at Wes.
“No, thanks.”
“Okay,” Lilly said as she took the menu from Wes. “I’ll get this put in for you right away since you’re in a rush.”
Wes blushed and looked down at his beer.
I leaned back in the chair and crossed my arms as I stared at him. “Flowers? XO XO? Seriously? Are you ten?”
He sat back and regarded me for a moment. “Are you jealous?”
“Would I love to get anonymous flowers at work, I don’t know any girl who wouldn’t love that. The problem here, though, is you’re trying to break up a happy couple.”
“Are they happy? Because if she was happy, why did she sleep with me?”
I shrugged. “I can’t answer that. Have you asked her?”
He frowned. “She said she wanted to see what it would be like being with me again.”
I scrunched up my face. “Yikes. Lackluster performance that night?”
“Excuse me?” he asked as he shot daggers my way.
With a one-shoulder shrug, I said, “I mean, she slept with you to see what it would be like for old time’s sake, and clearly she didn’t like it.”
“Fuck you, Clare.”
Laughing, I held up both hands. “I’m just making an observation.”
“Well, I didn’t ask you to. Besides, it’s none of your business.”
“Unfortunately, when you dragged me into this grand plan of yours, you made it my business.”
“Well, I don’t need your help anymore. Once she reads the card today, she’ll know who they’re from and...” His voice faded.
