Chapter15
I can dance, thank you very much.
Avani
Grayson has been avoiding me, which I can’t say I’m unhappy about. I mean, I did come on his leg and probably ruined his good pants in the process.
Though, when I walk into work today, a new bag sits at the counter, and I know it’s for me.
“How were you the morning after we went out?” Monica asks as I open it and smile when I see it. Pulling my attention from the new bag, I tell her what happened.
“Grayson made me go shopping. And I almost died.”
“Oh yes, I saw the new beds. Nice.”
“And then I went out on a date that ended badly with the guy trying to roofie me.” I roll my eyes.
“What? Oh my God, are you joking? Are you okay?”
I wave off her concern. “I’m fine. He didn’t succeed, obviously.”
Her hand falls from her heart.
“Thank God. That could have been bad.”
“Yep, for both of us.” I smile, thinking of how Grayson wanted to murder him.
“You working a full shift tonight or half?” Monica asks. Some nights I work half, if it’s slow, and I know I can get away. Others, I just stay.
“Half. I’m taking lessons for something.”
“Ohh, what?”
“If you say lap dancing, I will kill whoever it is that is teaching you,” Grayson says from behind us. Monica’s eyes go wide, and she hurries off, not wanting to stay around for another one of our arguments.
“Now, why would you say that?” I ask, unable to tamp down my growing smile at pissing him off.
“Is it?” he asks with a bite.
“Is it what?” I play dumb.
“Are you taking lessons for lap dancing?”
“I sure am.” I smile wide. “You gave me inspo.”
“Where and when?”
“Nope, not happening,” I tell him. “I want my instructor alive.”
“I’ll assist,” he says.
“Hell no. That’s not happening either.”
“So you’re lying, then,” he says, crossing his arms over his chest.
“I don’t lie.” I shrug. “Just a little fib.” I hold up my thumb and forefinger about half an inch apart.
“So, no lap dancing?” he confirms.
