“I think that’s going to be pretty hard. There’s something about the strange conversations we always have that really stick with me.”

“Leo, I have a boyfriend.”

“Me. I know.”

“You’re impossible,” I said.

“Want to go hook up in the bathroom?”

“No! No more kissing me in dark rooms.”

“Okay. We can do it here, I guess.”

“This date is over,” I said.

“So it is a date?”

“No!”

I was just about to stand up when the waitress delivered our food. The crab cakes smelled delicious. My stomach rumbled.

“At least eat your dinner,” Leo said. “I know how much you love crab cakes.”

It was weird how much we knew about each other. “Only because I’m starving.” I took a bite and moaned around my fork.

“I bet you’re really good at third base stuff.”

It was tempting to throw my water at him. “Eat your food.”

“I love how bossy you are.”

I ignored him and ate my crab cake at record speed. I wiped my face off with a napkin. “Thank you for dinner...”

“Don’t you want dessert? I hear they have a lovely chocolate cake here.”

“You’re using all the information I’ve given you against me.”

He smiled. “Do you want to sniff me again instead?”

What? “No.”

Leo called the waiter over and ordered a piece of chocolate cake for us to split.

I sighed and stared at him. “Look, this has been a very fun reveal...”

“Would you be more comfortable if we invited Sophie and RJ over here?”

“Um...what?” I’d totally forgotten that they were here. I forced myself not to look a few tables over where they were seated.

“They’re spying on us anyway. We might as well let them hear our conversation.” He went to lift his hand to wave them over.

I grabbed his hand to stop him.

“And now we’re holding hands,” he said.

I pulled back. “Don’t call them over here.” Those dirty spies didn’t deserve to hear our conversation. I didn’t even need to be here if RJ wasn’t a little twat.

“Yeah, I like it just the two of us too. So tell me, Scarlett...how are you planning on breaking the news to Jacob? Or do you want me to do it?”
