“I don’t have a clue. I wish there was something I was passionate about, something which gave me drive and purpose.”
“You’ll find it. But you’re only twenty-two. Give yourself a break.”
“I’ve been using that excuse for the last four years. And, considering you were starting up your own production company at this age, I don’t think it’s a very good one any longer.”
His voice softened. “Sweetheart, you’re being too hard on yourself.”
I was digging the new term of endearment he’d dropped on me a few times over the weekend. “Maybe.” I took a long pull on my beer.
“So, onto better subjects. Is this the PDG you were talking about?” He flashed his grin. “Or was it more like this?” He showed a different variation.
I pretended to contemplate. “There’s really only one way to tell for sure.”
“How’s that?”
“Give the first one again, and we’ll see if my panties drop off.” Teasing him like this was much easier than trying to be seductive, not to mention more entertaining.
His face went into full-on panic.
Rolling my eyes, I splashed him playfully. “You’re so easy to freak out.”
Without warning, I was grabbed and dunked under the water completely. Sputtering while pushing the hair from my eyes when I came up for air, I attempted to get him just as wet, only to find myself wrapped up pretzel style, halfway on his lap. Our faces were inches from one another with us both breathing heavily and goofy smiles on our faces.
“Sorry for getting you all wet,” he whispered.
“I’m not sorry in the least.” And I wasn’t thinking about the water.
“You should probably get some sleep,” he said thickly, letting me go and moving to the other side of the tub.
“Right. Or we could get your payment of the bet you lost out of the way.”
He sucked in a breath, obviously surprised I remembered. “That’s not a good idea.”
“Why’s that?”
“How about, for starters, I’ve known you my whole life and think of you as my little sister.”
Frustrated, I was about to throw in the towel altogether. “Yeah, you keep reminding me of that.”
He met my gaze after getting out of the water. “Maybe it’s not you I’m reminding. Good night, Kenz.”
