Satisfaction flashes across Spencer’s face.
“You know I can’t do that,” Wyatt replies. “I’ll be outside in the car if you need me.” He hangs up.
I clench my jaw in frustration. I hate being followed all the time. I have no privacy whatsoever.
“Everything all right?” Spencer asks.
“Yes.” I fake a smile as I glance over to the car. “That was my security, I’m sorry. It’s very distracting, even for me.”
“So, you really do have security?” Spencer glances across the road to Wyatt. “Ha, fancy that. I thought they were joking.”
“What do you mean?” I ask.
“I was told at the wedding that I wouldn’t be able to get near you because you were guarded. I actually thought they meant your brother.”
I drop my head in embarrassment. God, everyone knows about this stuff now? I had no idea. “I’m sorry, this isn’t normal, I know.”
Spencer puts his hands in his pockets, and the two of us begin to walk. “Why do you need security?”
We walk towards the restaurant strip. “My father is…” I pause because I hate saying this. “Wealthy, and he’s constantly concerned for my safety.”
“What happens if I kiss you at dinner?”
I laugh and raise my brows. “That’s very presumptuous, Mr Spencer.”
“Spence,” he corrects me. “My friends call me Spence.”
“Spence.” I smile.
“What do I call you?”
“Charlotte,” I reply without hesitation.
“Like that, is it?” He links his arm through mine. “What do your friends call you?”
“Do you want to be my friend?”
“Maybe.”
I smile at his ease with me. He’s very familiar and seems to have no insecurities at all.
“I really did think the whole security thing was a joke,” he says casually.
“I wish it was.” I glance back to Wyatt sitting in the car watching the two of us. “Does it bother you to have him watch us?”
“That depends.”
“On what?”
“What actually does happen if I kiss you? What will he do?”
I smile. “Probably knock you out unconscious,” I tease. Truthfully, I have no idea because Wyatt hasn’t seen me kiss anyone before.
Spencer stops and turns me to face him. “What about if I do it in private?”
Our eyes lock.
What is it about this man? He just gets straight to the point. I’ve never met anyone quite like him. He’s so brash.
