“Water is fine, and whatever this rice is he has. I’ll take that. Thanks.”
She gives me another look, wondering why someone I don’t really know would sit with me. Great. Now I look like a liar, but I really don’t fucking know this guy. Not well. Not as much as I wish I did.
“News on my phone?”
“You using me, Ezra?” he asks with a good-natured smile. “Just want me for my skills and not my friendship?”
“I don’twantyou for anything. I just want my phone.”
He sits back, his body relaxed as he stretches his leg under the table, his knee bumping into mine. “Oh, come on. You don’t have to lie.”
“What are you talking about?” I ask before shoveling a forkful of rice in my mouth.
“It doesn’t matter,” he says, leaning to his side and pulling my phone from his pocket. He slides it across the table. “There you go. Special delivery.”
“You do this for everyone in town? Track them down and give them their phones?”
“Only the special ones,” he says with a smile. “I still think you should upgrade, but whatever. You got the other phone on you?”
I pick it up from the bench beside me and happily toss it over. “I don’t know why those phones still exist.”
He chuckles. “I already switched service over.”
“What if I needed to make a call and it didn’t work?” I ask, staring at him.
“Who would you call? You don’t have friends.”
“What makes you think that? I know plenty of people.”
“Knowing people and being friends with people are two different things.” He pauses. “So, why didn’t you call me? I gave you my number. Figured I’d hear from you.”
“What would I say?”
“Wow, you really don’t know how to talk to people, do you?”
“I do, actually. I function just fine. It’s you—” I cut myself off, not wanting to finish what I was going to say.
“It’s me what?” he questions, leaning in. “You don’t know how to talk to me? Why?”
Luckily, Shevon is back with his food. “Here you go. I hope you enjoy.”
“Thank you.”
We eat in silence for a few minutes before he speaks up.
“Tieme down.”
My brows furrow as I look up and meet his gaze. “Excuse me?”
His lips twitch. “The restaurant name.”
“Oh. Yeah.”
“Kinky, right? But I like it. Do you have any kinks?”
He’s so rapid-fire, it’s hard to keep up. He jumps from one topic to another like it’s nothing. And he’s been flirting with me. Is this flirting? Girls flirt differently than guys, and with them, I can usually tell. I’ve dealt with men a couple times, but Kaspian is different. He’s different from anyone I've ever met, so I’m not sure if he’s just nosy, or if he’s trying to rile me up, or if he’s flirting.
He asked what my kinks are, he asked if I was into guys, he grabbed my hand rather possessively in the store , telling me he’d take care of me. And his knee is still touching mine under the table.
