Me
No one calls me a coward. I will send you proof, and I better not get arrested.
The thing is, the worst that can happen is that I either can't get inside or I chicken out. And after his last text, I'm determined because...coward? Fuck that.
I take Ruby's arm. "I have to go."
"Hot date?"
"Hot shower and then bed."
She hugs me, and I say bye to the table and go to leave some money, but Ruby shoves it back at me. "When you get your raise, we will go out on you, just you and me. Deal?"
"Deal."
I glance over at Enzo as I leave, and my stomach sinks. He is laughing with the gorgeous woman and the guy with the sexy glasses.
Why does he affect me so much?
But I shove him from my mind and head out.
Me
Next two dares will be you as the star. I hope you're ready.
Alex
Always.
I grin and hurry out. I have got a mad dare to do, and I want to get it underway before I chicken out.
Chapter Eleven
ENZO
Oh.Shit. Is that Lola?
I just got home from the bar, and holy fuck, what a view.
I'm so glad I decided to come here tonight and haven't turned on the lights.
Having a place in Park Slope, I spend most of my time there, but since taking over Barwon, I have taken advantage of this place occasionally.
I had fun with Vi and Cade.
The fucker wanted to see Lola. Hell, Vi wanted to see her, and she judged her worthy, but the look on Violet's face...
I grimace.
It said she wasn't sure ifIwas worthy.
"Not about worthiness on either side," I repeat to myself the words I said to her and her stupid soft heart and romantic notions.
I mean, shit, I always knew Cade had a soft center, one surrounded by kickass hardness. But I don't. And I'm not looking for a thing.
This is not anything like a romance.
Of course, I didn't tell either of them about Alex and Lola's flirting, which has gotten deliciously out of hand.
