Chapter Seven

“I didn’t expect to see you back so soon. Isn’t there a rule about seeing a girl more than once a week?” Kennedy smiled ruefully, and Zac narrowed his eyes.

“Listen, woman, I am trying to be nice.” His hands were full, but he lifted up the hand clutching the massive vat of Moscato and awkwardly pointed at her. “If you wish to rebuff this kindness and my company, I am taking the wine and Chinese food with me.”

Her eyes lit up as soon as they landed on the bottle of her favorite wine, which he knew because he had his assistant go through her recycling. She grabbed the bottle and turned around, leaving him standing in the open door way. As soon as she moved, three cats made a break for the door, and he slipped inside and slammed it before they could escape.

He squatted to look them in the eyes. “Listen, you three.” He bopped one on the nose with his free hand. “If you run out into the snow, not only will you freeze, but your beautiful master will blame me, and we can’t have that.”

Kennedy came back in the room with two large wine glasses filled to the brim. She looked at the cats and said, “Traitors.”

Zac grinned and took a seat next to her on the sofa. He started unboxing the food, and she groaned.

“You know how many men expect me to eat a carrot and be full?”

Zac pulled at the staples on the containers, opening the boxes up to become dishes. “You know a huge turn off is women who only eat carrots. They start to turn orange. Really unattractive.”

Kennedy shot him a look then picked up the sesame chicken with one hand and chopsticks in the other. A cat took a spot in her lap, and the three others took up residence on Zac.

“You all are fucking traitors,” she said to the cats.

Zac picked up her remote and hit a few buttons.

“That’s not how it works…” She trailed off as he brought up a screen full of movies. “The fuck are you doing?”

He hit a few more buttons, grinning over at her. He could see the shock on her face as he navigated through a database of every movie he owned on the server he created. He typed in a few more buttons and brought up Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

He turned to look at her. “It pays to date people with skills.”

She huffed and shoved more food in her mouth.

He picked up an eggroll and sat back. After she polished off half a large order of the chicken, she moved on to the fried rice, pouring copious amounts of soy sauce all over it. Zac was so intrigued watching her little idiosyncrasies that he stopped paying attention to the movie. She looked over at him a few times, and on the third time catching him looking at her unabashedly, she growled and her cheeks turned pink.

“What? Do I have sauce on my face or something?” She grabbed a napkin.
