I freeze when he says that Adrianna is here, at this diner. My brow furrows as I scan the group of kids, none of whom are her usual friends she hangs out with. And he’s right, she’s sitting facing our way, chatting to Rosa Cabello.
“What the fuck is she doing here?”
“I think it’s Rosa’s birthday today. Maybe she was invited to celebrate.” He runs a hand through his dark hair. “After all, their families work together.”
Adrianna glances up and our eyes meet. A wave of electricity shoots through my veins as I meet her gaze. Anger ignites every time she sees me, but she looks away quickly, her cheeks flushed pink.
Jenny comes over. “Fancy seeing the two of you again. Twice in one week!”
Gav gives her a tight smile. “Can’t keep away. The ribs are too good.”
“So, what can I get you?”
I look at her and she smiles widely. “A full rack of ribs and a beer.”
She jots down the order.
“Make that two of the same,” Gav says, passing the menus to her.
“Sure.” She places her hand on my arm. “It’s good to see you again.”
As always, Jenny is flirting with me, and while I’d usually flirt back, I can’t right now. I glance over at Adrianna to find she’s looking at me, her eyes darting between the waitress and me. And if I didn’t know any better, I’d say the look in her eyes is jealously.
So I make a snap decision to flirt with Jenny, grabbing her wrist gently and yanking her toward me. “I also wanted to see you again.”
Her cheeks heat as she looks at me with wide eyes. “Oh, that’s very sweet of you, Archer.”
The girl is your typical small-town girl who gets easily embarrassed by a man’s attention. There’s no way she could handle me. Even though before I was obsessed with Adrianna, I would have fucked her if it didn’t mean it risked being able to come here every week.
She scurries off to get our drinks, and I glance at Adrianna, who is glaring at me.
I smirk at her, which only makes her more angry.
“What the fuck was the flirting all about, Arch?” Gav asks.
His eyes shift to where Adrianna is sitting, and he shakes his head. “For fuck’s sake. Get a grip.”
“What?”
“You are making a fucking fool of yourself with this girl.”
I clench my fists on the table. “How?”
“Because you look desperate.”
I straighten at that, wondering if Gav is right. Objectivity isn’t exactly my strong suit when it comes to Adrianna Vasquez because she’s driving me insane.
Jenny returns with our beers. “Here you go.” She winks at me as she sets mine down in front of me. “Is there anything else I can get you?”
“No, thanks.” I keep my tone short, as I don’t enjoy being told by I’m being desperate.
Jenny frowns, no doubt confused by the hot and cold treatment I’m giving her, but right now, Adrianna Vasquez is under my skin. I can’t help how I’m acting, as this is what she does to me.
Chugging my beer, I glare across the table at Gav. “Let’s eat and get the hell out of here.” So much for escaping the academy to clear my head about Adrianna. Her appearance here is beyond frustrating. Especially as all I can think about is her pouty lips wrapped around my cock.
