Excerpt
“So,” she said, breaking me out of my
reverie. “What is your deal?”
I laughed. “My deal?”
She nodded. “Your deal.”
I couldn’t be sure but I swore I heard her
voice slur slightly on the last word. My hopes instantly rose. Tipsy Lia would
be a lot more willing to take clothes off than sober Lia. That I could be sure
of.
“I don’t have a deal,” I insisted.
She squinted. “Oh, you so have a deal. All guys like you have a deal.”
“How many times are we going to say the
word deal? Should we turn it into a drinking game? Make things interesting?” I
flagged down the waitress and ordered a Jack and Coke. Lia asked for the same.
“Do you always drink Jack and Coke?” I
asked.
She shrugged. “Maybe.”
I laughed. “Are you trying to be
mysterious?”
Her eyes twinkled. “Maybe.”
She stayed silent and we stared each other
down like two kids having a contest.
“I’m waiting,” she finally prompted.
“For me to kiss you?” I asked
presumptuously, making her giggle. “Because that’s a little difficult with you
all the way on the other side of the table. But I’ll give it a shot if you
want.”
I cleared away the empty shot glasses
between us, like I was going to sprawl myself right across this table.
“For you to tell me your deal,” she
corrected.
I pounded the table with my fist. “Damn. We
don’t have our drinks yet. That’s one extra sip for you.”
When she didn’t respond, I added, “Why
don’t you tell me what you think my
deal is.”
“Oh, I already know.”
I feigned surprise. “You do?”
She nodded. “I do.”
The waitress delivered our drinks and I
took a sip of mine, prompting Lia to take an obligatory swallow of her own. She
did.
I sat back. “Okay, let’s hear it.”
“You’re a bartender,” she began.
I pursed my lips in mock appreciation.
“Oooh, perceptive. I like that in a woman.”
She ignored my jab and continued. “You do it because you like the attention.”
She ignored my jab and continued. “You do it because you like the attention.”
“What attention?” I asked. “You ignore me
all night.”
“From
other women. I see the way they look at you. You could have any girl in
this room.”
I leaned forward, holding her gaze. “But
I’m here with you.”
