I heard pages turning and smiled. I wondered if Lee had an actual paper planner rather than using her phone as her planner like I did.
"Friday would be best this week. Would four-thirty or five work for you?"
"Four-thirty would be fine," I said, making a note on a piece of paper. "I'm looking forward to meeting you, Lee."
"I feel the same, Ms. Watkins. Thank you for calling."
After we hung up, I looked at Cam and laughed. "Forget hiring her as an assistant manager, I think we should hire her to be our boss. She sounds like she has her shit together."
Cam laughed and then put a hand on her stomach. "Oh, man, I'm hungry."
"We have had a busy morning. Let's go have some lunch and then we can get back to work before that pizza and movie night you promised me."
"But we really need to get started—"
My stomach growled. "Nope, we're eating now. We'll be more productive with full stomachs."
Cam laughed, just as I intended her to do.
We walked to the diner just down the street and found a table. As soon as we entered, I realized that I had to use the restroom. I followed Cam to the booth and tossed my bag on the side with the back to the wall. "I'll be right back."
When I returned a few minutes later, I saw that Brody was sitting across from Cam and, once again, it was beyond obvious that she was into him.
And that he was into her.
They were so wrapped up in their conversation, and each other, that they didn't notice my approach.
I caught the tail end of Cam's words. "— gonna go there?"
"Go where?" I asked.
They both looked at me then and I bit back a gasp. Ben's eyes were hot green gems and Cam's face was flushed. Oh, man, these two were on their way to Bonetown with a quick stop-off at Make-OutVille.
"Nowhere," Cam answered.
I turned and stared at Brody until he grinned. "Am I in your seat?" he asked.
His eyes were no longer hot, but they did twinkle with amusement. Damn, he was good-looking. And he seemed like a genuinely nice guy. I decided then and there, I was going to try and nudge Cam along when it came to him.
Yes, yes, it was hypocritical of me considering how I felt about her meddling in my love life, but I hadn't been in love with a guy for most of my life. Hell, I'd never been in love. Period.
This was different and I would fight her if she argued with me about it.
So, I said, "You can sit next to Cam if you want to join us for lunch."
If looks could kill, I'd be a teeny, tiny pile of ashes on the floor because Cam's eyes were sparking with enough heat to incinerate me.
I was saved from her wrath by Brody's words. "Thanks, but I just finished eating and I need to get back to work. Maybe next time?"
He got to his feet and sauntered off. Cam couldn't take her eyes off him as he walked away and I couldn't really blame her. His butt was almost as good as his younger brother's.
I turned to her. "Y'all are so gonna bone."
Cam blushed and said, "Stop saying that. Who even uses that expression anymore?"
I laughed, long and loud, drawing way too much attention to our table.
"That must have been some apology. You went from wanting to smack him to wanting him to smack your ass."
