.I find an empty table, dump her in her seat and head to the bar before she can dispute my plan.Not that she would, she's more up for a free night out than me.After ordering another bottle of chardonnay, I head back to the table and pour us another glass.Nod's busy on her phone so she doesn't know I'm back until the bottle and glasses clatter on the table, rather loudly.“Anything fun happening?” I ask, pointing at her cell.“Nope,” she sighs.“Ryan was just checking in, wondering what I'm up to and all that.He says he may be home later than he thought.”“Oh, that sucks,” I say to her pouting face.“Later is better than never.”“I guess,” she says, throwing her cell on the table between us.“Are you going for it tonight then? The whole drinking yourself into a coma thing?”“Looks like it,” I say after swallowing a mouthful.I rest my forearm on the table, clutching at the stem of the wine glass while I work up the courage to broach my next subject, one that I really shouldn't ask about, but I want to anyway.“So, how do you know, Kyle, is it?”She looks at me with a raised suspicious eyebrow.“You know it's Kyle.”My grasp around the glass is becoming slippery, nerves consuming me, dreading that she knows I know him, or maybe he told her.“Everyone remembers his name, everyone wants him around here.”“Oh.Including you?” I ask, even though I'm dreading the answer.She splutters out a laugh like she's sitting with Jerry Lewis.“Me? Hell no.I like the guy, sure, but want him? No.I met him through Johnson.He called in one day to cover for his Uncle while he was out of town, turns out he didn't have a clue what to do.I'd only recently started, so we decided to sort through the stuff together.We flirted, sure, but it was just playful banter.”Okay, so it wasn't the worst possible answer, but it still churned my stomach.“I'd heard a lot about him from working in the bar.I knew his reputation from the start and I wasn't going there.”So, that got my attention.“Reputation?”“Reputation.He's known for being the 'love ‘em and leave ‘em' kind of guy.Seriously, Google him when you get a chance and I swear you'll not find a picture of him with the same woman, not through lack of trying on their end.They all swear that they'll be the one to change him and never do.”Wow.That's not the guy I remember him to be, not in the slightest.He was the sweetest guy you'd ever meet.Not a man whore.“Sounds like an ass to me,” I state.“I guess Josie's the cat who got the cream, eh?”Nod smacks her hand against the table, another fit of laughter erupting.“Josie? Oh hell no.She wants it, but he's not having it, not through lack of trying on her part either.”Now I'm all kinds of confused.“They live together don't they? Just got back from vacation?”“Sure, they have and do.But that’s something to do with a family friend or something.He said she could stay with him till she got back on her feet.That was a couple of years ago, though.She still claims that she's looking for the perfect apartment, but we all know she just wants to stay there with him.”“Oh.” I finish my glass of wine, the conversation still swirling around in my head while I refill our glasses and empty the rest of the bottle.At least he's a nice man whore.“Still seems like an ass.”We both sit in silence for a couple of moments.I'm listening to the pianist playing a slow number on the grand piano that sits to one side of the bar area, not having a clue what he's playing, but still enjoying the sound as it soothes all the clientele.As I look over Nod's shoulder towards the entrance, a couple of tall men walk in laughing and joking with each other.I recognize them instantly.Ryan spots me and quickly holds his finger up to his lips, signaling me to keep quiet.It's so sweet that he's surprised her.I look at Nod, checking that she doesn't suddenly turn around and spot him as he heads to the bar.As both men head over, I quickly readjust my dress while still seated.I feel rather bloated after our huge meal.Ryan sets the wine bottle on the table in front of her and then places his beer in front of an empty seat between us both.“Do you mind if we join you two lovely ladies?” he asks just as Nod realizes who it is and quickly jumps out her seat and throws herself around his neck.“Ryan?” she screeches.“What the hell are you doing here? I didn't think you were due back till tomorrow?”He removes her slightly, then places a gentle kiss on her lips.Even I'm swooning at them both, wanting to pinch both their cheeks and tell them how cute they are.“Thought I'd surprise you.Did it work?”“Yes!” she squeaks, then plants a kiss on his lips, a hell of a lot harder than the gentle one he gave her.While they’re kissing and muttering to each other so we can't hear, Kyle sits himself on the only free seat.I'm definitely ready for my weekend alone now.“Are you having a good night?” he asks“It's not been bad.You?” I reply flatly.He's still wearing the same clothes he had on earlier and is slightly slouching in his chair, twirling the beer bottle around on the table with the tips of his fingers.I want to smack myself upside the head for licking my lips as I watch him.Remembering how I used to love the feeling of his hands all over me, even before we dated.He just always made me shudder whenever there was skin on skin contact, even if it was to stop me from doing something.“It's been okay.”“Good.” I leave it there.Not wanting to start a full conversation [ Pobierz całość w formacie PDF ]
