“You say that like it’s a bad thing,” he says, holding the door open for me. We head out into the cold and the limo is standing right outside, waiting.
We both get inside. “You are also narcissistic,” I say as the limo starts to move. “And have sociopathic tendencies.”
“Who doesn’t these days.”
I’m about to come up with another retort when my phone rings and its Teague so I pick it up. “Hey.”
“Sebastian,” Teague says. “Pick me up from Mia’s place in two hours.”
“What happened to temporary celibacy?”
“It went down the drain when Mia brought out that really tiny dress I bought her last week.”
“I’d say the two of you fuck like bunny rabbits, but I’ve actually seen rabbits not fu
cking so it might be insulting to them.”
“You know I can’t resist a quickie,” Teague says. I can hear him drinking something, probably more Gatorade. “But I’ll be fine in a couple of hours.”
“And Mia still doesn’t know?”
“No,” Teague says. “And if she ever finds out I’m going to kill you, Sebastian.”
“Yes, I’m aware of that. I’ll come and pick you up in two hours.”
I hang up and start staring out the window.
“Friend of yours?” Liam asks.
“Yeah.”
“Do you have to be somewhere?”
“Not right now,” I say. “Not saying no to Camembert.”
“So, your friend. Is there something he’s keeping from his girlfriend?”
“You sound like you know them.”
“Look,” Liam says. “We’re the celebrities of this town. You know things about me and I know stuff about you. We’re always in the news.”
“That’s true, I guess.”
“So, are you going to tell me what he’s hiding? Is he having an affair or something? Are you covering for him?”
“No, it’s nothing like that,” I say. “It’s something much, much worse.”
“And now you’ve got me intrigued!”
I’m about to say something when the limo comes to a stop. I look outside and we’re right in front of the restaurant.
Inside, there’s a table waiting for us and it’s not just any table—it’s the best place in the entire place and I can’t believe Liam actually managed to pull something like this off. The staff probably knows me just as well as they know Liam but today they’re being extra nice.
“So,” Liam says when the food arrives. “Tell me more about you.”
I dig into the Camembert, no idea what to say to him. “There’s not much to tell, really.”
“Sebastian Spanner,” Liam says. “You are far too interesting to not have an actual response to my question.”
