“Then we’ll have your drink of choice,” Audrey declares.
“I’ll stick to beer,” Elan adds.
I turn to face him. “It’ll be fun to party together.” I really mean it. I’d like to get to know him a bit. He seems nice, but I’m reserving judgment. I mean, look how badly things turned out with douchebag over there.
He winks at me, and I take a long look at him. He’s obviously of Middle Eastern descent with his darker skin color, black hair, dark chocolaty eyes. His nose is just a little too big, but his full lips make it work for him. He’s… sexy.
I narrow my eyes at him. “Do you have a girlfriend?”
He looks surprised. “No.”
“Good,” I reply. I couldn’t take another guy flirting with me when he’s got a girl out there thinking he’s her one and only.
“You want the position?” he asks.
I let out a startled laugh and he winks again. He’s definitely sexy. Just… wow. I tilt my head, considering, and he sucks in a breath. Good to know the attraction isn’t one-sided.
“Maybe down the line, but what do you say we start as friends, for now?” I offer.
“I’ll take it,” he affirms. “Digits?”
“Sure,” I agree, handing him my phone after unlocking it. He puts in his number then texts himself, so he has my number in return.
“Put the phone away, Mr. Ainsley. And Miss Fox, if you’d please,” Mr. Barclay requests, twirling his finger in a circle.
I turn to face front and I immediately get a text. I know it’s from Elan before I even look.
ELAN:hey Foxy u want 2 hang at the party?
ME:we’ll see.
ELAN:u r a tough 1. I’ll wear u downI snicker and put my phone away. Elan stretches out his long legs, one of them reaching mine beneath my desk.
Cheeky sucker’s trying to play footsie.
Audrey lifts her brows and I shrug.
Who knows? I don’t know anything right now except I’ve been duped and Karma’s giving it to me straight up the pooper.
