I open my prop newspaper, and with my heart thumping in my chest, I prepare myself for battle.
Ten minutes later. “Hello.”
I glance up to see Mr. Gorgeous sliding into the seat opposite me. I want to jump up and kiss him, hug him so tight that he pops, but I won’t.
“Hi.” I smile casually. I turn my attention back to my paper. “How was the gym?”
“It was okay.” He looks around. “Is it a buffet, or are we ordering?”
“I’ve already eaten,” I lie. “I was hungry.”
“Oh.”
“I’ll wait with you while you eat if you like.” I glance up from my paper as if he’s an inconvenience.
A frown flashes across his face before he quickly hides it. “Don’t let me keep you.”
“No, no.” I glance at my watch. “I’ve got half an hour.”
His eyes hold mine. “Before what?”
“I’m going shopping. My girlfriends are meeting me. We have a full day planned.”
“Really?” He rolls his lips as if annoyed.
“You didn’t expect me to go home with you, did you?”
His jaw tics in anger. “Not at all.”
The waitress comes over. “Can I take your order, sir?”
“Yes.” He looks over the menu. “I’ll have the big breakfast, please, with a latte and an orange juice.”
“Sure.” She scribbles down his order before leaving us alone.
I keep reading the paper, and I can feel Henley’s eyes fixed on me. “You don’t have to stay,” he says.
“Actually, I might get going. I do have a lot to do.” I fold my paper in half and drink the last of my coffee.
His eyes hold mine.
I bite the inside of my cheek to keep myself from smiling. “You were a great fuck.”
He blinks, shocked.
“Until next time, Mr. James.” I blow him a kiss and, without another word, walk away; I can feel his eyes on my back, and I want to jump and punch the air.
That was so cool that I can’t even stand it.
Let the games begin.
Chapter 12
I walk into the café and smile and wave as I see Chloe waiting at the table for me. I bounce over. “Hi.” I beam.
“Hi.” She smirks up at me. “You look like you’ve been well fucked.”
“Not even close.” I giggle and fall into my seat. “I’ve been spectacularly fucked, actually.”
