Of course, that thought reminded me of Jayce and what people might think if they found out about our little tryst, but I pushed it to the back of my mind.
“Speaking of, I started putting together that content you wanted.”
“The cartoon drawing thing, right? That was great.”
“There’s tons more where that came from. The internet is a weird and mysterious place.”
“You don’t have to tell me.”
We shared a grin. This was more like chatting with an old friend than being on a first date. I didn’t feel like I needed to put on a show and impress him. I could just be myself.
There was a lull in the conversation and Neil took the opportunity to lean forward and push a strand of hair that had fallen out of my twist behind my ear. My heart beat a quick thrill. His eyes were crinkled at the corners, a sly smile playing on his lips. He was clearly attracted to me. With his blue eyes, messy hair, and gorgeous face, I was just as attracted to him.
“Can I ask you something?” He leaned back in his chair, letting my hair go.
“Of course.”
“I know I asked you this online, but I was only joking back then.”
I tilted my head, confused. “Okay. What is it?”
“Is there something I should know about you and Jayce?”
