“No,” I replied, quickly. “Don’t say a word, Darcy.”
“Okay, okay.”
“How about we change the subject,” I suggested, waving the server over for another round.
“Fine by me.”
This was followed by a few moments of silence as I racked my brain, trying to come up with something not involving Taz. Darcy was sipping the last of her drink before the next one arrived.
“Oh, guess what? I saw Slate’s junk today when I walked in on him peeing.”
Darcy spit out her drink, splattering me in the process.
“Damn, Darcy,” I said, grabbing a cocktail napkin to pat my neck and chin dry of the droplets.
“You are just now telling me this?” she asked, her eyes wide.
“I just remembered it,” I replied, snickering.
“So?”
“So what?” I asked. “I accidently walked in to the bathroom from the nursery. He was taking a whiz. It was all out there for me to see.”
“Oh, my God,” she said, chuckling. “Well, was it impressive?”
“Impressive?”
“Stop playing dumb, Linds. Are you jealous of your mom?”
“To be perfectly honest, Darce, I would say my mother is blessed.”
“Yeah?” she replied, giggling like a teenager.
“Yep, however, I’m not jealous. I’ve been blessed more,” I replied, laughing with her. “At least I was,” I added, frowning.
“Oh, stop,” she chided. “I bet he’ll be stalking your ass before the night is over.”
“I don’t think so,” I replied, taking my fresh drink from the server. “Taz made it perfectly clear he doesn’t do the ‘alpha male’ thing. He doesn’t waste his time chasing high maintenance chicks around,” I replied, trying my best to imitate Taz’s voice.
“He did not refer to you as high maintenance for Chrissake, did he?”
“Pretty much.”
“Damn, if he thinks you are high maintenance I guess he would find me off the fucking charts.”
“No lie there,” I replied with a smile.
“Cheers.”
We toasted each other as the band started warming up for their next set.
I was not hammered yet and I wanted to be. My mood was somehow affecting my ability to get drunk. I was considering ordering a shot of Patron, when I felt Darcy kick me underneath the table.
“Don’t look now,” she whispered loudly. “It seems your non-alpha man has had a change of heart about chasing your high-maintenance ass, after all."
She started giggling then turned her attention to the stage.
I felt him come up behind me. I felt his hand on my shoulder. I turned and looked up to see his green eyes on me. I couldn’t read his mood.
