This is what we do to each other. I draw out her fire, and she drives me so far up a wall that I want to tear the damn room apart just to keep from touching her.
“I never bossed you around.”
She laughs, the sound anything but funny. “You sure as hell tried.”
And she wouldn’t let me every time I tried. Which is one of the reasons she’s perfect. And also one of the reasons she’s a giant pain in the ass.
“Everything okay?”
Perfectly in sync, Emily and I turn our heads to look over at Damon, and then sit back in our seats to act casual.
“Everything’s fine,” she says.
“Yep. Great,” I add.
Damon glances between us. “You sure? Because that looked like one hell of a heated discussion.”
Emily smiles when Damon slides into the booth beside her.
“We’re sure. We were just talking about the past.”
A grin stretches his lips, his eyes locking on her with way too much interest behind them.
“Oh yeah? What about the past?”
After flicking a look at me, Emily answers.
“I was just reminding Ezra that he’s an arrogant ass.”
Damon’s brows shoot up, but he laughs it off.
“Can’t argue there.”
“Yeah,” I interrupt, drawing both their attention my way.
“And I was just reminding Emily of how she’s a giant pain in the ass.”
Turquoise eyes lock on mine.
“You never said that.”
“I didn’t?” Rubbing a thumb across my lip, I grin. “Weird. I must have just thought it.”
We go silent, our stare a clash of swords across the table. Her scowl deepens when I smirk.
“Okay,” Damon says cautiously, his eyes dancing between us again, “well, Shane said the van is all ours. We just need to stop by his place to grab the keys.”
I force my stare away from a redheaded nightmare sitting across the table.
“Perfect. We’ll take the Jeep after we finish eating and grab the van.”
“I can follow in my car,” Em suggests.
“You’ll go with us,” I say, not bothering to look at her.
“I’ll do whatever the hell I want.”
My eyes slide to her then, every muscle in my body tight.
