I narrowed my eyes at him, knowing that he was doing the same behind his shades.
“Uh ….” David looked between us and stood to his feet. “Yeah, bye.”
He left the table without another word.
“He seemed like a nice guy,” Tyler said, sitting across from me. “I’m quite sorry for my interruption.”
“I doubt that. Are you out of your mind?”
“No, but you must be.” He signaled for the server. “We discussed this ‘dating’ thing and I believe I made myself more than clear.”
“Are you stalking me?”
“You put up a damn status on Facebook.” He rolled his eyes. “You said you wanted better dinner company.”
“That wasn’t meant for you to see. We’re not friends on there.”
“Your profile is public.” He paused. “I meant what I said about the dating shit, Chloe.”
“It was a simple conversation and a meal,” I said. “It wasn’t turning into anything else.”
“The way he was looking at you says otherwise.” He rolled up his sleeves. “And if it wasn’t him, one of the other men on this roof were just waiting to get their chance.”
I looked over my shoulder and noticed that all the guests who were drinking minutes ago were now gone, courtesy of Tyler’s bodyguards.
David was speaking to a guard in a dark blue suit, signing some type of clipboard.
What the hell…
“Facebook stalking aside, I thought you weren’t coming to this event.”
“I wasn’t,” he said. “But then I saw you taking a picture with my cardboard cutout and figured you’d finally want the real thing.”
“You took a two and a half hour road trip for that?”
“Thirty-minute flight.” He smiled. “You’re more than welcome to come back with me. We can make up for your indiscretion in my cabin.”
“For the umpteenth time, I’m not having sex with you.”
“You’re supposed to be thinking about it.”
“I did and it’s a no.”
Tyler let out a low laugh as the server refilled my glass and handed Tyler a menu.
“I’ll have water,” Tyler said, “and whatever my date here is having for dinner.”
“Yes sir,” he said. “Would you like extra pepper on your entree as well?”
“No.” He waited for him to walk away.
“I like the dress you’re wearing,” Tyler said. “It looks similar to the one you wore on our first date.”
“Because it’s the same one.”
“No compliment for me?”
“Yes. I’m starting to see that my children’s father is an egomaniac who thinks he can control every person I talk to.”
