My phone dinged in my purse, and I tensed. I saw Wilder’s gaze on me, and I continued to eat my meal. I wasn’t touching that phone. Not here. What if Wilder looked at it and Gage said something about the other night? No way. That would be humiliating.
The phone dinged again. I put another fry in my mouth and met Wilder’s gaze, then smiled. This wasn’t his business. Why was he being so nosy?
The phone dinged again.
“You gonna answer that? Sounds like someone needs to talk to you,” he replied.
I sighed and stood up. “I’ll be right back,” I said, then took my purse and headed for the restroom.
Pulling my phone out of my purse, I saw Gage’s name with three notifications. I pushed the restroom door open and stepped inside as I opened the text.
On a date with your friend?
Not gonna even look at your phone?
Do I need to send Levi back in there?
I sighed and hoped Levi wasn’t back.
I was eating. Yes, it’s my friend. Why does it matter?
I chewed on my bottom lip nervously.
Leave.
What?
Leave. Go get your food and go home. Alone.
No. That’s rude and crazy.
Shiloh, go the fuck home.
I stuffed the phone back in my purse, silencing it.He doesn’t contact me for three days and then thinks he can tell me what the heck to do. I don’t think so, mister.
Taking a moment to calm myself, I stared in the mirror. I might have just pissed off a man I wasn’t sure if I should be scared of or not. But no one was going to talk to me like that. I would deal with the fact that it might have turned me on later. Right now, I was mad about it.
I headed back out into the restaurant and saw Wilder was done eating and drinking his beer. Maybe leaving was best. I pulled out my chair and sat down.
Wilder frowned at me, looking concerned. “Everything okay?”
I nodded. “Yeah. If you’re done, I can get the rest of mine to go. Sorry about that.”
He leaned forward, resting his elbows on the table. “You look shaken up. Who was texting you?”
I wished he’d stop being nosy. Granted, up until now, I had told him things, but my life had been boring then. It was currently anything but.
I shook my head. “Not something I can talk about, but I am fine.”
“You can’t talk about it, or you can’t talk about it with me?”
I understood his question, and he deserved honesty.
“I don’t think it’s something we should discuss.”
He nodded. “That’s what I thought.”
I waved at the server and got a to-go box.
