He hesitates.
“Can I get your number?” he asks me.
I want to crawl under the table.
“No, you can’t. She’s not interested in dating at the moment. Now, scoot,” Erin demands.
His face falls, and he stands.
“I’m so sorry,” I utter.
“It was worth a shot,” he says before turning and rejoining his friends.
“I’m going to kill you,” I tell Erin.
“I made my point. You’re a catch. And any man would want you.”
I stand.
“Where are you going?” she asks.
“I’m going to go check on our drinks. I’ll be right back.”
I make my way to the bar, and Maxi comes over to wait on me.
“Hey.”
“Hi,” I greet.
“Why are you as red as the bull’s-eye on the dartboard?”
“Erin just embarrassed me,” I say.
She nods and doesn’t ask for further explanation.
“What can I get you?”
“I’m just checking on my and Brandee’s order. We gave it to the waitress with the red hair.”
She shakes her head. “She’s new. I swear, I don’t think she’s cut out for this line of work. What did you guys want?”
I give her our order, and she goes to make the cocktails.
“Can I buy you a drink?”
I look to my left, and a tall man with spiky blond hair and dark eyes is smiling at me.
“Thanks, but I just ordered for me and my friend.”
He looks at the empty stool beside me.
“She’s at the table with our other friends,” I answer his unasked question.
He steps closer, and I lean away.
“I can buy both of you a drink,” he offers.
“Like I said, thanks, but we have it covered.”
