My eyes widened as I watched Rory hug the beast. “Oh, I missed you, boy.”
Missed him? What?
She glanced up, and her jaw damn near hit the ground.
“It’s you,” she whispered.
The way she spoke and the intense look in her eyes, I had to fight from dropping down on the ground next to Flash and fight him for licking privileges.
“Hey, Rory.”
She jumped up. “How do you know my name?”
With a wink, I replied, “I asked around.?
?
She lifted a brow, and her face spread into the cutest damn smile I’d ever seen. “You asked around about me?”
Flash was now lying at my feet chewing on a stick. Content for at least two minutes.
“I did. You slipped out of the meeting before I could ask you to dinner.”
Her cheeks flushed, and my pants grew a bit smaller. “Dinner?”
Laughing, I replied, “Yeah. Lawyers eat too, right?”
It was then I let my eyes roam over her body. She was wearing running shorts and a light blue T-shirt that made her eyes compete with the cloudless sky.
“We do,” she answered with a chuckle. “But not with guys who have girlfriends.”
My smiled faded.
Hold up. What?
“I don’t have a girlfriend.”
She rolled her eyes and squatted down, giving Flash the attention I wanted.
“Please. I saw you and the girl with the purple hair leaving together last night.”
Frowning, I shook my head. “Angela? When did you see me with—”
She smirked and nodded her head like she had caught me in something.
“You were at Guilt on Friday night?”
“I was.”
“Damn, I wish I’d seen you. I would have loved to have introduced you to her. She was having a rough night—our mom was pissed about the purple in her hair. It kind of ruined my whole surprise birthday party.”
Rory stared at me blankly. I’d have given anything to pull my phone out and snap a picture of her expression.
“S-sister? That was your sister?”
I nodded. She looked up in thought and then said, “Oh, that explains the kiss on the cheek and not the lips.”
I wasn’t able to help my smirk. I kind of liked seeing the glimpse of jealousy in her eyes.
