“You never ask for luxuries. Which makes it all the more fun to give them to you.” He finally muted the television and looked at me. “You’re dressed up.”
“Yeah.” I plopped down on the couch.
“Were you on a date?” he asked.
“I was not on a date,” I lied.
“No? Then where were you?”
The front door opened and Waverly blew in.
“A TV!” she said in way of greeting. Her top bun was disheveled, and she was wearing jeans and her newly cut T-shirt.
“Say goodbye to it because it’s going back to the store,” I said.
“What? Why?” Waverly demanded. “Oooh, pizza.” She reached for a slice and shoved it into her mouth.
“Becausewedidn’t buy this TV,” I explained.
“Consider it a housewarming gift,” Savage said. “Just accept it, it’s not a big deal.”
Waverly swallowed a bite of pizza quickly and said, “Yeah, please don’t send it back. The TV needs a nice home. I’ll take good care of it, I promise!”
“Oh great, the next thing I know you’ll be asking for a puppy,” I quipped.
“Ooooh,canwe get a—”
“No,” I interrupted. “Absolutely not. Let’s start small. Like a goldfish or plankton or something.”
“What about a hamster?” Waverly asked as she finished off her slice of pizza.
“No. No rodents,” I said. “I don’t do rodents. How was your class?”
“Good. Jessica’s got a crush on the instructor, and she’s already volunteered to be his CPR dummy three times,” Waverly said.
“That girl is boy crazy,” I said. “Glad you had a good night.”
“Sounds like Jessica is the one having a good night,” Savage joked.
“And how wasyournight,” Waverly asked suggestively.
“Yeah, how was your night?” Savage asked with a raised brow.
“My night was good,” I said.
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Waverly wince. She knew she’d tripped up.
“How good?” Savage pressed. “This is the part where you finally tell me you’re dating someone.”
“Fine, I’m dating someone,” I admitted.
Savage grinned. “I knew it! Who is the lucky fucker?”
“A guy,” I said evasively.
“You’re not going to tell me who it is?” he asked.
“Nope.”
