I stood in the French doors. “Hey, Darius.”
He’d watched me while I approached, and he nodded and gave a bit of a smile but didn’t say anything.
I turned my gaze to Lee. “I gotta get to the store.”
“Take the Crossfire. I’ll take the Duc in this morning,” Lee said.
“The Ducati’s here?” I asked.
“Yeah.”
Wicked.
I kinda wanted him to take me to work on the Ducati, but I wasn’t going to ask.
“I’ll take you out on the bike tonight,” Lee offered, the crinkles showing beside his eyes.
“Get out of my brain,” I returned, putting my hand on my hip.
That made him give me an out and out smile.
“Walk me to the door?” I requested.
I watched him get up and I started to turn toward the front door, then came around and looked at Darius again.
“We’re having a family barbeque on Saturday, Ally’s place. I’m sure everyone would like to see you,” I told him.
Lee dropped his chin and gave a couple of shakes of his head in that “I don’t believe she’s such an idiot” way.
“Thanks, Indy. I got things to do,” Darius replied.
“Okay, come after you’re done,” I said to him.
Darius shook his head.
“Then come before, bring your mom and your sisters. I haven’t seen them in ages.” I kept going.
Lee’s hand wrapped around my upper arm and he turned me and marched me toward the door. I twisted around and I could see Darius grinning.
“See you later!” I called, already around the couch and in the kitchen.
As we passed, Lee snatched the Crossfire’s keys off the kitchen counter and at the front door he pulled me to a stop.
“What’d I say about trying to save Darius?” he asked.
“What? I just asked him to the barbeque.”
“You’re a nut,” he said.
I put a hand on a hip. “Excuse me?”
Lee shook his head. “Nope, not gonna happen. I’m not biting. We arenotfighting today. No matter how far you push it.”
I wassosure. LikeIwanted to fight.
I got up on my toes and kissed him, giving him a quick peck and then grabbed the keys out of his hand.
“What was that?” he asked.
