Chapter Sixteen

“What’d you do last night?” Danny asked as they drove away from a traffic accident they’d cleared.

“Went grocery shopping,” Nathan replied.

“Grocery shopping? But it wasn’t a Saturday.” At Nathan’s glare, Danny grinned. “Why did you go grocery shopping?”

Because my intimate…friend…insisted on it. And I’d do anything she asks because I’m hopelessly pussy-whipped and shamelessly into her.

“Because I needed food.” Danny’s suspicious staring got on Nathan’s last nerve fast. “What?”

“Stella force fed you, didn’t she?”

When Nathan shook his head, Danny laughed. “Don’t even deny it, D. An Italian girl like that...”

A tiny smile tugged at Nathan’s lips. “You should have seen the look on her face when she realized I had no food in the house. You would have thought I had severed heads shoved in my fridge and cupboards the way she freaked out. And when she found out I was diabetic?” Nathan scoffed. “I got a full nursing lecture on that after the grocery store.”

“Is she as good in the kitchen as she is in the bedroom?” When Nathan shot him a warning glare, Danny shook his head, grinning like an idiot. “I knew it. What did she make?”

“Something called bra…brosh…broshool?”

“Oooh, braciole. One of my faves. Was it good? Did you save me any?”

“How in the hell have you heard of that?”

“The last foster home I stayed at – the Andersons – there was an Italian couple next door. The woman used to always cook huge amounts of food and then pass it out to all the neighbors,” Danny said. “Her braciole was my favorite.”

“Some kind of stuffed meat?” At Danny’s nod, Nathan said, “Yeah. She tied it up with cooking twine or some shit and baked it. She made this awesome salad too with meat and cheese in it.”

Nathan remembered how Stella’s face had lit up while she’d been cooking for him and how right it had felt to watch her bustle around his kitchen. And she’d been so happy watching him choke it down that she’d been beaming. It had been delicious, but Nathan was no fan of eating and especially not in front of people.

“You ate enough to make her happy?”

Nathan nodded. “She said something about usually being self-conscious when she eats in front of people and I thought about telling her.” He shrugged again. “But I didn’t. Of course. I ate enough to satisfy her sadistic need to stuff me and kept my bullshit to myself. No need to burden her with that shit, right?”

“What did she say about the scars?”

“She asked about them. I told her they’re none of her business and that was that.”

Danny’s skeptical look was irritating as hell.

“What, I’m gonna get into all that? Who wants to hear that shit?”

“Uh, she probably does. Women want to know everything about the people they’re in love with. They’re weird like that.”

“She’s not in love with me. Don’t be stupid, Mac. We’ve…hung out…a few times, but it’s nothing serious.”

Liar.

“Oh, she’s in love with you, dude. No doubt about it. And you’re in love with her.
