After last call was announced, the crowd began to dwindle. Kyle rested on a chair, icing down his elevated leg. He watched as Ryan showed the new guy, Ando, just how clean-up and break-down was done at the end of each night, and Ashley served the water and called taxis for the patrons who needed either or both. All while Lyla, Janie, and Elliot chatted endlessly on their barstools, giggling about anything and everything imaginable.

Even with the dull throb echoing down from his hip to his ankle, Kyle felt a sense of peace he hadn’t known in way too long. He was happy to be in Danny’s, amongst his friends. Christ, it’s amazing what a clear fucking mind can do. Not to mention someone that actually makes you feel good about yourself. Just thinking about how Cate handled the run-in with Sinus Infection—Christ, how she was with all the women who came on to him and flirted with him. He wouldn’t have been nearly as calm if the situation were reversed, and he needed to sit back and watch random men ogle her. Fuck, they weren’t even dating and the woman was rocking his fucking world. Pink leopards, she was funny as hell, also.

“Here, take these. They should help with the pain.” Cate placed two Ibuprofens and a glass of water on the table in front of him. Did he look that bad? Could she see the weakness that lay just beneath his surface?

“Kyle, you’re in pain. You worked your ass off tonight. Take the pain medicine. Its over-the-counter stuff, but it should take the edge off.” What took the edge off was seeing understanding, not pity, in the whisky brown eyes that penetrated his soul.

“What are your plans on Saturday?” He hadn’t meant to blurt out the question, but with the night quickly coming to an end, he wasn’t ready to say goodbye to her.

“Elliot and I have an event tomorrow night that we’ve been putting together for months. So we’ll be working our asses off tomorrow. Saturday should be pretty low key, why?”

“Spend it with me.” Kyle wasn’t sure who was more shocked by his request, him or her.

Tipping her head to the side, he could practically hear the cogs turning in her mind. “Just friends, right, Kyle?”

It pained him to agree because there was much more than platonic friendship sparking between them, but he’d give her time if that’s what she needed. “Just friends, Angel.”
