Just then, Kevin appeared with a red tray in his hands and a curious glint in his blue eyes.
“Damn, that looks good,” Gideon said. “Mine should be up soon.”
“You’re welcome to ours if you want.” Kevin sat down and nudge the tray toward Gideon.
“Excuse me, but no.” I pushed the tray away from the biker next to me, who happened to have the best smelling cologne on. “He ordered his own.”
“She’s right. I can wait,” Gideon replied.
“If you’re sure,” Kevin said.
“He is,” I answered for Gideon.
“Are you going to introduce us?” my brother asked, digging into his animal style fries.
“I’m GQ, an old friend of your sisters.”
I flicked my gaze at my brother. “I knew him back in high school. He was at the clubhouse last night when I was there.”
“Cool. I’m Kevin,” my brother said. “You must know my friend Conrad Garcia. His cousin is Tequila.”
“Oh, yeah. I know him. Small world, right, Kel?”
“Yup.” I took a bite of my burger.
The guy at the counter called number seventy-one.
“Last mine,” Gideon said.
“I’ll get it.” Kevin vaulted up. “I mean if you want.”
“Sure. Have it.” Gideon handed my brother the receipt, although I wasn’t sure why. The workers didn’t usually check them.
Without saying anything, my brother left.
“Cool, kid.”
I turned my head and hiked my brow. “This is a little weird.”
“Why?” he asked. “You were here eating lunch. I saw you and thought, why not join Kel?”
“Because I didn’t invite you.”
“Don’t be so rude. Friends who run into each other aren’t usually invited. I thought you’d be happy to see me.” He looked a little offended and I couldn’t tell if he was just screwing with me.
“Here you go.” Kevin put the tray in front of Gideon.
“Thanks, my man.” He grabbed several fries and shoved them into his mouth. “If you’re uncomfortable with me eating with you and your brother, I can leave.”
“What?” Kevin looked at me. “You’re not uncomfortable, are you?”
“No.” Jeez, no pressure at all. “But we do need to eat and go. The frozen food in the car will thaw and go bad.”
“Did y’all hit up Costco?” Gideon asked, shoving his burger into his mouth.
“Yeah. The fridge was bare.”
Nice. Thank you, brother.Did he have to share so much with Gideon?
