“Used me?”
“I made some comments that made Remi almost smile.”
“Comments? About me? What did you say, Fi?”
“Does it matter?”
“Yeah, it does,” I said.
She giggled. “I just suggested you were an idiot. That you always were an idiot. That you’re full of yourself. That you’re a prick and I hope you get traded.”
“What the hell?”
Fiona touched my face. “Relax, Griffin. It was all a lie. You can’t get traded. If that happens, then where would I go?”
“With me.”
Those two words fell really flat between us.
Too serious.
“Anyway, Remi didn’t want a drink,” Fiona continued. “So I said goodnight to him and all that sisterly crap. But Remi is stubborn. He wanted to see my room.”
“No…”
“Oh yeah. So I had to turn things up a little. We got to the elevator and I lost my cool on him.”
“You yelled at him?”
“Big time. I told him he was a psycho. I told him there was no way in hell he was going to ride the elevator up to my room and look around. Like what did he think I had in there? Drugs? Dirty money? Men?Women?”
“Wow.”
“Wow is right,” Fiona said. “Because I then got into the elevator and rode it up to the fifth floor.”
“You took the elevator.”
“Had to,” she said.
Fiona jumped up to her toes and planted a kiss to my chin.
That was not part of our arrangement.
Fiona walked away from me.
As though her story was finished.
“Hey, wait up,” I said chasing after her. “What happened next?”
“Oh,” she said. “Well, I had to linger around up there. Give Remi time to leave. Just in case he called bullshit on me and expected me to come right back down. You never know. I waited a bit and then took the elevators back down. Voila. Remi was gone. And I was free to leave.”
“And that’s it?”
“Yeah. That’s it. That’s the best I could come up with, Riff. It’s not like you or I really thought this out.”
“Whoa, sweetheart. Back up a second. To be fair, this was all your doing.”
“Was it?”
