“Take me to your beaver?” She laughs. “Nice.And here I thought you had no sense of humor. Only on your undies does your hilarity comeout.”
“They were a gag gift from my dickhead brother. I didn’t get the chance to go through my clothes when I got home, so I threw random shit into mysuitcase.”
That’s alie.
The truth is that Cameron packed up my belongings, with the exception of all of the furniture, appliances, and electronics I bought, and dropped them off at Dallas’s when she moved Gradyin.
“I promise I don’t wear sexual innuendos underneath my clothes daily, or prance around other people’s houses likethis.”
She smiles. “Can’t say I’d complain if youdid.”
My dick stirs. I decide to reroute this conversation before I end up taking my cock to herbeaver.
“There were no glasses in the cabinet,” I tellher.
She points to the fridge. “The kitchen is always open. I don’t think Dallas used that kitchenette once.” She flips on another light, and the kitchen lights up like the Vegas strip. “Can’tsleep?”
I shake myhead.
“Me either. I’m putting on some tea. Want acup?”
“The only kind of tea I drink is laced with sugar and served on ice. Not sure that’ll exactly make metired.”
She takes the teapot off the stove and starts to fill it up with water before setting it back on the burner. “It’s herbal tea. Chamomile. My insomniaremedy.”
We’re standing in her kitchen both damn near naked, and she’s offering me tea. I’m not sure how this can get any more awkward. Might as well make the best of it. She’s not freaking out or rushing away in embarrassment, so I’ll look like a dipshit if Ido.
“It’s worth a shot.” I shrug and sit down. “Why can’t yousleep?”
“I have a lot on mymind.”
I raise a questioning brow, a silent plea to go on, and am surprised when shedoes.
“I’m making a significant career change. This is my first role in a movie, and I want people to like it. To like me. I want to prove that I can do more than play a teenagewitch.”
“Do you likeit?”
Shenods.
“Then that’s all that matters.” I throw my arms out to gesture to the kitchen. “You must have some decent talent considering you’re able to afford all of this at your age.” Some people will work a lifetime and never earn enough money to buy a home likethis.
“Money doesn’t always equaltalent.”
I settle back in my chair. “I guess you’re rightthere.”
“Do you not like me?” The bluntness of her question surprisesme.
Shit.Not the conversation I wanted to have with her. I look frenzied while I try to come up with the bestanswer.
“What do you mean?” Iask.
“You have this wall up. It seems you’d rather be anywhere but here. I mean, I’m not expecting you to be my biggest fan, but it’s like I pissed in your Cheerios orsomething.”
She has a point, but my dickness isn’t only because I’m here. That’s only a slice ofit.
“Do you want me to behonest?”
“I wouldn’t have asked you if Ididn’t.”
