If I’m going to get stood up, I may as well enjoy the calamari.” She pointed to her choice on the thick, fancy paper as her cheeks flushed. The waiter picked up the menu. Leaning toward her, he offered a small smile. “Happens to the best of us. I’ll put your order in, miss.” He tapped the little black device in his hands and stepped away. The cold, crisp wine settled in her mouth—the second drink slowly fogging her brain and relaxing her body. Rachel tapped the Bumble icon on her phone and typed in a quick note, talking as she tapped. “I have a sneaky suspicion I’m being stood up, Tripp Erikson. At least tell me now before I drop one hundred bucks on drinks, appetizers, and dinner on my party for one.” “Party for one, huh?” His deep voice jarred her, pulling her mind from the snarky comments she typed. Rachel swallowed the embarrassment heating her body. “Er—umm.” She shook her head and pressed her eyes closed. “Sorry, I must look like a total idiot,” she muttered. “And why’s that?” Opening her eyes, she let his dark brown gaze bore into her. A grin twisted his lips as his tanned skin flushed beneath the soft, romantic lighting of the dining room. Raising a hand, he rubbed the back of his neck. Butterflies tickled her belly, awaking at the sweet smile directed at her. “Oh! Umm, just ignore me.” She pressed her palms to her slowly reddening face and giggled. “I’m kind of a mess right now.” “Nonsense. You’re the prettiest woman in the room I have the pleasure of disappointing this evening.” She laughed. “More disappointment, huh?” Pointing at the empty chair across the table, she released a slow breath. “Are you here to stand me up too, Mr.…” Rachel leaned closer and read his name badge word-for-word. “… Miguel Rodriguez. Owner of Pier Ninety-Two?” He shook his head and grinned. “No, only a complete fool would stand you up. I’m just here to tell you we’re out of calamari.” BUY LINKS: |
