“Where are you?” Seb finally said.
“We’ll be in the coffee shop. I’ll contact you if that location changes.”
“Okay,” Seb said, and my phone went dead. I knew then Seb was on his way to the coffee shop and he had disregarded everything I said.
“Coffee it is,” Gray said and held out his hand and pulled me off the floor before I could protest. “You too, if you want to keep hold of your job.”
Zena glared at Gray. Lucky for her, he was still staring at me. It didn’t seem to bother Zena at that moment; I smiled at her because that was the first moment I realised Zena, my beautiful warrior, was a scary badass who hid behind her sultry ways and not only was she a badass she was looking after me more than I could ever realise.
I think more than Gray expected her to.
“Come,” Gray ordered, like we were two annoying kids. Though compared to this old guy, we were pups in comparison.
I glanced around the car park and suddenly became aware.
“You were the fucking cat,” I said. “You watched me. You sneaky f--.”
“Aurora Lace, do I look like a black pussy cat to you?” he said and smirked.
I rolled my eyes at the sky. “I didn’t say it was black.”
His smile was slow and annoying, and I wanted to slap it off his handsome face.
“I suppose you’d never fit that large...” I hesitated and looked between his legs. He raised one side of his mouth. “Ego... In such a small cat.”
Gray cracked a smile
“You’re different Aurora Lace, I give you that,” he said. “Now let’s finally get a coffee. This would have been so much easier if you sat where you were and waited for me.”
“I couldn’t do that. You don’t know how much it tempted me to send a fire bomb to your gangster cars.” I rubbed my fingers together and waited for them to fizzle with sparks.
“Or you could just talk,” he said. “Are you always so argumentative?”
“I am when people try to trick me,” I said as we walked around the corner. His men lined the coffee shop like bullet proof wrapping paper.
We stepped into the coffee shop. Helli walked over with my backpack and her notepad.
I pushed into a booth, Gray squeezed his enormous frame in next to me.
“You would have fit the other side easier,” I whispered as Zena shuffled in opposite me.
“Would you like to order drinks?” Helli asked.
“Latte for me,” I said.
“Three lattes,” Gray said. His nose raised in the air as he sniffed the aroma in the coffee shop.
“It’s a nice coffee,” I said.
He leaned closer to me, sniffed again.
“Excuse me, I’m not meat, you know,” I hissed.
“You smell different. Why do you smell different?”
I shrugged my shoulders. “I’ve changed nothing. Shampoo is the same one I’ve been using...” I said, but stopped when he interrupted me.
“No,yousmell different.” He narrowed his eyes suspiciously and didn’t take his gaze off me.
