“Yes, but why are you here?” I waved my hand around the parking lot indicating The Lodge.
“I’ve heard you run into people all the time in small towns.”
“That’s your answer? Do you always have to be so vague?”
He shook his head, his dark gaze meeting my eyes, then dropping to my mouth. “Bridget told me about the place, and I thought I would get carry-out. I’m not much of a cook,” he admitted, following me closely as we cut through the parking lot.
With the time change that had recently happened, it was already dark, but the restaurant had plenty of outdoor lighting.
I stopped in front of my car and reached in my purse for my keys.
“Were you going to have sex with him?”
My head whipped up, keys forgotten.
“What?” I stared at him wide eyed, his question bold. And intrusive.
He crossed his arms over his chest. Ones I now realized wasn’t inside a coat. He only wore a dress shirt and dark pants, something similar to what he wore for my appointment the day before. The night was chilly and would dip below freezing, yet he didn’t look cold at all.
In fact, he looked hot. As in H.O.T.
“You said yesterday Bridget fixed you up on a date with a fellow teacher and that you’re going to have sex with him,” he reminded.
“I… um, yes.” What use was lying? He knew. “Except with his… um, bathroom problems, it probably wasn’t going to happen. He did go twice during dinner.” I thought back to every weird sign from the meal. Did I give him the shits? No. Not unless it was like the norovirus that swept through the middle school last February and took out almost all of the students and staff. I felt fine.
This was a date, not norovirus. If he didn’t want to go out again, he could have just said,thanks, but no thanks. OrI don’t like women who can’t appreciate Sherman’s March to the Sea.
Whatever. But diarrhea? That was quite an excuse to bail.
Was I that bad of a date? I ran my tongue over my teeth then I reached behind me and patted my butt.
“What are you doing?” he said, his gaze following my actions.
“Making sure I don’t have bad breath, or the back of my dress isn’t tucked up in my underwear like that one time when I was five.”
He frowned. “You’re fine. Completely fine.”
Theo looked at me, then scanned the parking lot, as if searching for Tom and if he was going to return.
His dark gaze finally met mine. “Did you see the OBGYN referral yet?” he asked, giving me mental whiplash.
“No. I have an appointment Monday.”
He nodded once. “Then you aren’t personally protected from pregnancy.”
I could feel the heat rush to my cheeks. “What does this have to do with–”
“You said you didn’t want to have kids.”
He sure listened.
“I don’t. I definitely don’t.” No way was I bringing a child into my fucked up family. “It doesn’t matter anyway,” I said on a sigh. “He’s clearly not here to fuck me now.”
I thought I had a good shot at it. Attractive guy. Interested, or so I thought. Pretty yellow underwear to get him the rest of the way interested.
Theo’s gaze dropped and raked over my body. Slowly, thoroughly. I tried not to squirm, unlike the day before on the exam table. Like then, I had to wonder if he could see through my clothes. At least this time I had panties and a bra.
“You want sex. I’ll give it to you.”
