“He doesn’t know you’re here, does he?”
“Nope.”
“Are you going to tell him about meeting me?”
“Yep. At six fifty-nine.”
He grinned. “I have a feeling you’ll keep him on his toes.”
“I sure will.”
Chapter Thirteen
“Are you going to tell me why we’re here?” Lincoln asked.
“What do you mean? We’re on date number two.”
He cocked his head. “I’d believe that, except for the fact that you don’t like Mexican food.”
“Why do you think I don’t?”
“’Cause you wouldn’t eat the tacos that Bolt fixed the other night.”
“That’s because Bolt sweats a lot, not because I don’t like tacos.”
“What does that have to do with anything?”
“Where do you think all that sweat ended up?”
Lincoln thought about it and shuddered. “I wish you hadn’t told me that. How do you expect me to eat anything he makes anymore? In fact, how do I know the chef back there in the kitchen isn’t sweating on food right now?”
“Crap,” she said, with a grimacing frown. “I didn’t think my argument through.”
Lincoln held his chuckle inside, and then he looked over her head and saw Parker. Instantly, he knew this was a setup.
“What did you do, Vivi?”
She glanced behind her. “Oh. It’s you.”
“Not funny,” he muttered.
Parker reached them and hesitated. Vivi jumped up and wrapped her arms around him, and as unreasonable as he knew it to be, jealousy flashed in his heart.
“Hope I’m not intruding,” Parker said once Vivi let him go.
“Sit down, Parker,” Vivi invited. “We haven’t ordered yet.”
Parker remained standing, staring at him. Waiting for the okay. Lincoln nodded and a little bit of the freeze between them thawed. The waiter hurried over and set glasses of water in front of everyone and they placed their order. Once they were alone, Vivi played tennis with her eyes, looking back and forth between them.
“How have you been, Linc?”
“Fine.” Vivi kicked him under the table and he shot her a dark glower. “I’ve been well. You?”
“I’ve been great.”
“Good. Great.”
“Oh my God, a snail race has more energy then you two,” Vivi said. “How about we act like I’m an interviewer? I’ll ask questions and you two answer.”
