“Is it worth it?” I asked, then muttered to myself, “I might have to join, the way things are going.”
“It’s surprisingly successful,” Griffin said, “and now he’s looking to expand. I want to be an investor.”
I added mascara to my other lashes. “I don’t understand what the problem is.”
“He and I have different views of what a dating platform is and the type of audience it should attract.”
I frowned. “But it’shisplatform, right? So what he says goes.”
Griffin laughed. “It’s not that easy. When you take on an outside investor, you give them decision power as well.”
“Hmm,” I said, now applying my foundation. I felt oddly at ease doing this in front of Griffin. In all honesty, I probably wouldn’t see him again after tonight, so what did it matter?
“He says that his platform is for people ‘looking to find soulmates.’” Griffin uttered the last word with complete disbelief, as if he were talking about mythical creatures.
“Damn, then Ireallyhave to join.”
“He insists that because I’m not a relationship type of guy, I can’t possibly understand his customers.” Again, he had that look of disdain, but it disappeared quickly. “Now, what exactly do you want to know about me?”
“Everything. What do you do on a daily basis? What do youlike? Where do you live? Would I have met your family by now?”
He grinned, lacing his fingers together and putting them on top of his head as he relaxed back on the couch. He looked very out of place in this shithole with his cuff links and tailored shirt. I was certain he had his initials embroidered somewhere. He obviously had money.
“Trust me, if I’ve been dating you for six months, my family would be all over you.”
“You see them often?” I asked.
“Hell yeah. Very often.”
“Tell me a bit about them.”
“I have five brothers.”
“That must be epic.” I couldn’t even begin to imagine what it had to be like to grow up with five siblings.
I sighed. I used to want three kids, but who knew if that would happen now?
“So, my older brothers are Chase and Duncan.”
“Are they married?” I asked.
“They’re both engaged. Duncan also has a son.”
“How old is he? I love babies and toddlers.”
“No, my nephew’s older. He’s ten.”
“Your brother is much older than you, then?”
“No, he had Jeremy when he was young.”
“And you’re close to your nephew?”
His grin grew even wider, and my heart somersaulted in my chest. I could tell the boy was important to him.
“Yeah, though Knox and Finn are his favorite uncles, probably because they’re the youngest in the family. And then there’s also Wyatt. I’d say that he’s in the same spot on the scale as I am when it comes to Jeremy’s favorites. Although now that I’ve bought a new house, I have to have him over more often.”
“Oh my God, you’ve got a new house? See, that’s something a girlfriend would know.”
