“So…”
“Oh my gosh, Travis. No. We are not having sex in this elevator right now.”
“No.” He chuckled. “That’s not what I was going to ask.”
“Okay, then what were you going to ask?”
“What does Poppy know about us and our arrangement?”
I stared at him for a couple of seconds and started laughing. “You want to know if she knows we banged?”
I looked at him, and he smiled slightly. “I mean, I wouldn’t put it in those exact words, but yes.”
“Yes, she knows we had a one-night stand.”
“I think it’s more than a one-night stand now, don’t you?” he asked in a smooth, deep voice.
“I guess. But I mean, seeing as we just made the other arrangements this morning, and I haven’t really had time to talk to her because we’ve been working so much. No, she doesn’t know everything.”
“Okay then. Are you going to tell her?”
“Yeah, but I’m not going to have time to tell her before we meet for dinner, and I’m not going to tell her at the dinner table with you there.”
“Okay.” He laughed. “I just wanted to know how I could act.”
“What do you mean how you could act?”
“Like if I could hold your hand or…”
“You’re not holding my hand, Travis.”
“Why not?” he said.
“Because we’re not dating. We’re not in a relationship. This is just physical.”
I pointed at him, and then I pointed at myself. “Okay. But I mean, I don’t want you to feel cheap.”
“Why would I feel cheap?”
“Because we’re going to be having a lot of sex, and I don’t want you to think I’m just using you for sex.”
“Don’t worry, it’s fine. I’m using you for sex, too.”
“Now, I feel affronted,” he said.
“Why? At least I’m not using you for your money.”
“True,” he said. “But I like to think I’m more than my body.”
“Why do you care? This isn’t a relationship. You’re not courting me.”
He looked at me through narrowed eyes and shook his head. “You’re really different, aren’t you, Molly Malone?”
“Why do you say that?”
“Because most women would love for me to show them affection or ask to take them on special dates or treat them in a particular way.”
“But you haven’t asked to take me on any dates. You just asked to hold my hand, and I said that’s not required. It would actually be quite weird.”
