I used the side of my fork to get a hearty bite and I looked at Joe as I stuffed my mouth full.
My cheeks heated up a little, my body wanting to feel just the slightest bit of embarrassment. But it was Joe in front of me. The man I loved. What did I care how I looked when I ate?
I had at one point tonight had something much bigger in my mouth anyway…
I took the first bite and paused.
Joe was already three bites in.
Then he paused.
“You okay, Anna?”
“This is delicious.”
“I know. It’s my specialty.”
“Specialty?”
Joe grinned and looked away.
I pushed myself away from the counter. “You piece of shit. This is yourone-night standbreakfast! This is what you make before you kick some random woman to the curb!”
“Eh, sort of,” Joe said.
“Sort of? Are you…”
“Shit, Anna, no,” he said. He almost lunged over the counter at me. “This was kind of a joke. This was our thing. Breakfast. For dinner. And I wanted to make you a little jealous. Is that wrong?”
“Asshole,” I muttered.
My stomach growled and did a flip.
I was hungry.
Really hungry.
Which meant I needed to hush up and eat.
Joe ate faster than I did.
I was hungry.
Yet I knew…
“You know, I showed up,” Joe said. “Okay? If I can say one thing here. I showed up.”
I had my fork in front of my mouth.
My mouth hung open.
Hungry and in shock.
Joe pushed from the counter and walked away.
I turned my head and my eyes followed him.
“I’ll be right back,” he called out.
