“Since I decided I wanted to wear catsuits and I realized my ass is too big. Stay on point,” she huffs. “You went home with Nate?”
“Yeah, sorta.”
“There is no sorta. Where are you now?”
“At his house.”
“Holy shit! Did you sleep with him?”
“Stop asking that question.”
“Well, it’s important! It tells me how crazy you are. That guy is risking everything for you. Either that or he’s insane and doesn’t care if he loses his job.”
“No, that’s not it. He likes me.”
“Awh, how sweet. So are you going to fuck him or not?”
“Beth!”
“Listen, bitch. We were supposed to go shopping, so get your ass back over here and let’s find you something that will make him drool.”
He’s already drooling. I want to tell her, but it sounds weird to tell another woman that Nate said I’m a goddess. From what I can tell, he thinks it too. I don’t know what to do with that. So, I agree, hoping it’ll make things more normal. “Sounds good. I’ll meet you at the mall.”
CHAPTER 7
Nate is really sweet. He offers to drive me, rescuing me from driving the bus with the beast in back. It’s the little things that make me a happy camper.
When we pull into the parking lot, he drives up to the entrance where I agreed to meet Beth. Nate watches me gather my things. “I meant what I said before. You’re beautiful.”
I smile awkwardly and nod. “Thank you?” Damn it. It wasn’t supposed to sound like a question.
Nate grabs my hand and squeezes it. “I’ll see you later, okay?”
“Yeah.” Just before I let go of his hand, he pulls me in and kisses me softly on the mouth.
It was totally unexpected. I gasp when he pulls away, which makes him cock his head to the side and consider me.
“I took your breath away?”
“Literally.” I can’t Hoover in air fast enough.
He laughs and lightly runs his finger over the back of my hand. “I look forward to seeing what other sexy sounds you make.”
I laugh like that will never happen, but I’m not entirely sure what’s up with him or me anymore. Stop over thinking it, Kerry. He doesn’t want a relationship and neither do you. It’s a good time and that’s it. It’s friends by day and fuckbuddies by night—minus the sock show. What the hell was I thinking?
I wink at him and walk away. Beth is perched by the doors, and apparently watched the entire exchange. “Classy. Very nice flirty thing you had going on there.”
I tuck my hair behind my ear. I haven’t felt like myself since I got to Texas. I’m constantly wearing borrowed clothes, and I feel frumpy. “Really?”
Beth’s head jerks back and she says, “Psh, hell yeah! I’d do you. I mean it was that hot. He’s eating out of your hand, and totally wishes he was eating out—”
My eyes bug out of my head as she talks. It’s loud enough that a few passersby pause to stare at us. I cover her mouth before she can say the rest. “Beth! Cut it out!”
She pulls away. “Oh, you’re no fun. You can’t do it if you can’t talk about it.” She waves a finger at me and sounds like she’s giving me ‘the talk.’
“I’m mature enough, Mom. I promise.”
She grins. “You better be, because I want details. That man is hot.”
