I cleared my throat. “I’m up for burgers and fries.”
Neither of them appeared to hear me or care.
Cooper grinned at me conspiratorially. “I know you love meat.”
“Don’t start.” I pointed at him. “He’s a bad influence on you.”
“Says who?” He grabbed me around the waist from behind and nuzzled my neck. “Let’s just go. They’ll meet us eventually.”
My stomach growled and made the choice for me.
Halfway through our greasy burgers, I got a text from Ricki.
He played dirty and said we could start baby practice if we skipped lunch. He’s not fond of being social.
Since he doesn’t even talk to you on dates, I can see that.
We’ll hang out on the road? New buses. Eek. Exciting. I’ll sneak over for a sleepover.
I glanced at Cooper. “She wants to sneak over to our bus for a sleepover.”
He cocked a brow and continued shoveling in crispy fries. “Hope the bed fits three.” He leaned over to wipe grease off my chin. “Not that I don’t want you to have fun with your friend, but right now, I’d rather you be in my line of sight. Also, sex.”
He did have a valid concern. “The importance of that cannot be denied.”
I sent back a quick reply.
Only if you like threesomes. Cooper doesn’t go far.
I could work with that. ;) Anyway, we’ll spend some time for sure. Sorry today was a bust.
At least we got to not eat lunch together. ILY. Good luck with aiming at egg targets.
Thx. I love you back. Ttys.
“I got stood up for lunch twice today. That has to be a personal record.”
“Hello, I’m here, am I not?”
“And you’re the most important.” I took another bite of my juicy cheeseburger. “They’re making a baby.”
Cooper choked and nearly ejected a fry across the table onto my plate. “Right now?”
I glanced at my phone
again. “Probably in twenty minutes, give or take. I’m not sure of Mal’s stamina. We share a lot, but even Ricki has some boundaries.”
“Do you? Never mind.” He held up a hand. “Let me keep my illusions.”
I sighed. “We got precisely nowhere today. I didn’t think we would, but I still had hope. Now we’re getting back on the road tomorrow, and there’s so much to look forward to. Instead of thinking about all of that, I’m focusing on that pussy ass broad, to borrow Mal’s phrase. Although I’d say dick ass broad. I hate using that word as an insult.”
“Me too, since it’s basically the promiseland. Why waste such a well-loved body part on that chick?”
I pointed at him with a fry I swiped off his plate. I’d already eaten all mine. “You’re very wise. And your chances of getting lucky today are very good.”
He dumped his last few fries on my plate in the ultimate act of boyfriendly consideration. Assuming that was what he was.
“Are you my boyfriend?”
