Eleven

CAM’S JAW hit the floor the minute she saw Clare and me together. It didn’t help that in the waitress’ absence, Clare had been playing with my hand. I’m pretty sure I was whiter than a sheet of scared paper at that point.

Brad just smiled, though. I didn’t get it until I saw what he was smirking at. Clare was as white as I was, and they were having an obvious staring contest. Except this one wasn’t friendly in any shape, form, or fashion. I had to make a decision then and there. Because that closet door was getting pretty damn flimsy.

I unglued my gaze from a shocked Cam and squeezed Clare’s fingers, keeping her from sliding them away. Clare broke eye contact with Brad, her eyes locking on mine.

She only mouthed three words. “Are you sure?”

I nodded, taking Clare’s hand with both of mine. I kept her eyes hostage so she wouldn’t look past me. I even resisted looking at Brad and Cam in the reflection of the windows opposite them.

“So how did you find this place?” I murmured, more urgently than the subject would’ve usually warranted.

“Brad brought me here,” she answered in an equally intense tone.

“And now he’s bringing his latest girl here, too?” I gave one short bark of laughter and asked toxically, “Doesn’t he know a guy has to change his MO between victims? Does he even have two brain cells to rub together?”

Clare threw me a grim look. “He’s smart. And if you don’t think he is, then he hasn’t turned his full attention on you yet. Because when he does, there basically isn’t anything he doesn’t think through and plan for. Trust me,” she said flatly.

“I do,” I said quietly.

Clare smiled slightly, and the waitress saved us by bringing over arguably the biggest mugs I had ever seen in my life. They looked like buckets with handles. I broke into a totally goofy grin as she set down the drink and its monstrous mound of whipped cream and chocolate drizzle in front of me.

Clare gaped openmouthed at hers. “Everyone said the hot chocolate here was big but… I never thought it was this big.”

The waitress chuckled, skating casually away. I took a small sip from a chocolate straw and was rewarded with a shot of pure whipped cream. I groaned orgasmically.

Clare nearly choked on her hot chocolate “Oh my God, Rain, you did not just go there.”

“And yet it would seem I did,” I deadpanned.

She laughed, attracting the attention of a few nearby tables. But we didn’t care at that point and were trying hard to forget about everyone else around us.

We tried, that is, until Brad strode boldly over to our table. “S’up, dykes?” he said bluntly, loudly, and without shame.

I wanted so bad to just punch him in the balls. I really didn’t think anyone would be offended, I mean, c’mon. It was Brad.

Instead, I just smiled up at him syrup-sweetly. “Hey, Brad. Great to see you, honeybunches,” I drawled in my best Texas twang.
