“Hey, Derek, what’s up?” Braxton’s voice makes me jump.
“Hey, man, I think I left my wallet,” Derek says as he walks to the back. “I’ll just run in and see if it’s there.”
Braxton looks at me funny. Did he see Derek and me exchange numbers? Does he care?
He fucking shouldn’t.
Derek is back before either of us says anything. He pauses at the door and looks back at me. “It was great to meet you, Kylie. I’ll text you about Tuesday.”
“Looking forward to it,” I say.
“What was that about?” Braxton asks after the door closes.
“Nothing,” I say. “He asked me out.”
Braxton raises his eyebrows. “He asked you out?”
“Is that so shocking?” I ask. “What, does he usually date supermodels and you can’t fathom why he’d be interested in me?”
He looks away. “No, that’s a dumbass thing to say, Ky. I’m just surprised you said yes.”
“Why?” I ask.
“I don’t know.”
I draw my eyebrows in and put a hand on my hip. “Is there a problem?”
Braxton opens his mouth to answer but Selene bursts in.
“Hey, you guys, I’m so sorry I’m late. My team had a working retreat yesterday, and I’m still getting messages from my boss,” she says. “Apparently he doesn’t give a shit that it’s Sunday.”
My phone vibrates and I check it as we walk to Braxton’s car.
Hey, it’s Derek. Just making sure you gave me your real number.
I smile. If you’re the good looking tall guy I just met at a gym, then yes, I gave you my real number.
Perfect. Figured I’d check before I start sending sexually charged texts. That could get awkward.
Okay, I like this guy. Now I’m even more excited for Tuesday.
Me too, Kylie. Me too.
