“I’ve really got to cut out dairy,” Craig says as he enters the conference room.
“After acquisitions we can look into litigation since those are the smaller accounts.” Meadow is still talking like I haven’t spoken a word or Craig hasn’t told us once again about his morning irritable bowel syndrome.
“Give me a few minutes.” Craig grabs his stomach and heads for the bathroom.
“You know, I never took you for a cheater.” Meadow finally snaps her head up to glare at me, and I see fire in her eyes.
“What?”
“After all this time, you wait until you’ve got a girlfriend or a whatever the hell she is to kiss me and then pretend like some stupid one-word text apology is going to make it better? You know, I knew you were a pompous asshole, but I didn’t think you were stupid.”
“You thought I was pompous?” I want to laugh because I have no idea what the fuck is she talking about, but that seems like the wrong reaction with how mad she is.
“That’s not the point!” Her cheeks flush, and I can see she’s been stewing all night about whatever this is.
“Meadow, don’t take this the wrong way, but did Briar give you one of her special brownies for breakfast?”
“No.” She’s quick to answer and then thinks it over. “No, not after last time.” She shakes it off and then points her finger at my chest. “The point is, you’re a jerk. You have a girlfriend and you kissed me, and that’s not cool. I know that we like to argue and poke at each other, but that was so far across the line.”
I take a moment to really think about what happened at the bar when she stormed out and then last night in the elevator. “Wait, you think Nelly is my girlfriend?”
Her hands drop, and her anger starts to fade as I see the wheels in her mind begin to turn. “Is she not?”
“Let me ask you one question, Meadow, and I want you to be honest with me.” I move into her space and grab her hips so I can bring her closer. “If I tell you I’m single, will you shut up and let me kiss you again?”
