“Not famous, but delicious. One is plain, in case you’re not a fan.” I took a bite of my own. My boss was cool, and put it in our contracts that we could have a few free baked goods every dayif we wanted them. I took the max amount I was allowed, every shift I worked.
“Adding meat and cheese makes everything better,” he said, taking a bite of his. Approval rumbled his chest as he chewed. “Damn.”
“You want to add ham and cheese to steak?”
“Don’t see why not.”
I took another bite to stop myself from smiling.
There was something about his blunt, simple humor that I liked tremendously. I guess fate wouldn’t have paired us if our senses of humor didn’t work.
“What about ice cream?”
“I don’t eat much ice cream, so that would probably make me like it more.”
My eyes widened in mock horror. “You have plenty of money, and youdon’tspend it on ice cream?”
He chuckled. “Nope. You like ice cream?”
“Of course. I have asoul. Unlike you, apparently.”
His lips curved upward further. “What’s your favorite?”
“Cotton candy, actually. Made me feel like a five-year-old every time I went to the store and bought it.”
“I’m sure lots of adults like cotton candy ice cream.”
“No, seriously. Once, when I was still with the clan, I went out for ice cream with Tori and Sienna. The only cotton candy flavor they had was full of gummy bears. When I told the worker Iwanted it, he double-checkedtwicethat I wanted the ‘kid flavor’. His words, not mine.”
It was Madd’s turn to snort. “What an ass.”
“Eh, it’s fine. He still gave me the ice cream, so that’s what mattered.”
“How was it?”
“The frozen gummy bears were disgusting, but the ice cream was heavenly. Definitely worth the effort of eating around the candy.”
Madd’s lips curved upward a little further.
“How many pictures of us do you think are going to be on social media after this?” I asked, tilting my head toward the many people whose eyes I could still feel on us.
“We haven’t given them much to look it, so probably not too many. If you sit on my lap again, the internet might explode like it did last night.”
“You just want me to sit on you.”
“I’d hope that’s obvious. I can prove it to you again, if you want.”
My body warmed at the reminder of him proving that he was hard the day before. “I think I’m good.”
“Offer always stands.”
“Of course it does.” I leaned back in my chair, taking another bite and glancing down at the time. “I’ve only got two more minutes.”
“You’re sure you can’t skip lunch with your friends?”
Honestly?
I wanted to.
