Silence on the phone.
“Lee?”
“Gorgeous, I know you don’t like it when I say this, but you’re incredibly cute.”
That gave me a thrill down my spine too.
I’d never in a million years admit that to Lee.
“Whatever,” I said instead. “Anyway, Tod’s asked me to do Drag Duty.”
Lee, whowasgood at this relationship stuff, said immediately, “I’ll tell Dawn to make it an early reservation.”
Hee hee.
Lee was going to get Dawn to make our dinner reservations.
At the beautiful, fabulous, romantic Barolo Grill.
Ilovedthat and I didn’t even care, not one bit, what that said about me.
“That sounds good,” I said, and I couldn’t help it, I sounded happy.
This was maybe because Iwashappy.
“Is that it?” Lee asked.
“Yes, no, yes,” I answered, because I didn’t want it to be.
Shit.
“Which is it?”
I lost my courage. “It’s no. Later.”
“Later.”
Before I heard the disconnect, I quickly pulled myself together and told myself that even Rock Chicks could fall in love.
Then I said, “Love you.”
Silence for a beat then, quietly, “Love you too.”
That didn’t only cause a thrill, it gave me a warm feeling in the pit of my stomach.
I hit the off button and Ally said, “You guys are kinda making me sick with all this gushy stuff.”
I stared at her. “I just said ‘love you.’ That’s hardly gushy.”
“It’s gushy for you.”
This was true.
“Did Lee say it back?” she asked, squinting at me.
“Yeah.”
“It’s gushy for him, too. Off the charts gushy.”
