Chapter 12

Sunday 27thNovember

“He’s too old for you,” Gil said in Josh’s left ear.

“Never!” Josh scoffed. “I’m not ageist. Besides, he’s got a great ass.”

The object of Josh’s attention was outside the hotel talking to a pretty girl. Not that Josh was looking at her. The guy was probably in his early forties but Josh hadn’t paid too much attention to his face as he wore a red baseball cap and had his back to the window. Josh’s gaze was focused on the tightest ass in jeans Josh had seen this side of the Atlantic.

“He’s not bad for an old dude,” Gil agreed. “So’s the girl. Not as good as Kora though.”

Josh had almost forgotten about Gil’s fling with the hotel waitress. “Aw, that’s so adorable. Does Kora know you’re sweet on her?”

“Fuck off,” Gil muttered. “Ready for breakfast?”

“Yeah. Where’s Landry?”

“He said to go ahead. He wants to talk to Lisa—again.”

“She must be furious,” Josh said.

Gil laughed ruefully. “Lisa’s threatened to get on a plane and drag him home if he doesn’t get his ass Stateside soon.”

“Poor guy.” Josh’s stomach rumbled. “Let’s go eat.”

“I’m sick of the breakfast here,” Gil admitted. “Let’s eat somewhere else.”

Like Gil, Josh was growing tired of the hotel’s breakfast, too. It was okay, but he longed for pancakes and real bacon. British bacon just wasn’t the same. “I found an American diner,” he said. “It’s a walk but at least it’s not raining and we don’t have to be at Threadneedle Street ‘til eleven.”

“Fuck yes. Even if it only pretends to be proper food, it’ll make a change.”

Josh dug his phone out of his pocket. “I’ll text Landry with the address.”

A minute later they were heading down the road toward the diner. It took a while for Josh to notice Gil was unusually quiet as they dodged all the people making their way to work in the city. Most days he rated the women as they passed despite Josh’s pleas for him to shut the fuck up. Josh gave him a sideways glance. Gil looked deep in thought.

“Got something on your mind, Gilbert?”

“Don’t call me that,” Gil said absently.

Josh stopped in his tracks because calling Gil by his given name was asking for a punch. He ignored the irritated woman who scowled at them for getting in her way.

“What the hell’s up with you?” he demanded of Gil, who refused to meet his eyes.

“What’s going on between you and Cal?” Gil mumbled

Josh coughed. “Why?”

“Do you know what you’re getting into?”

“Fucking the boss, you mean?” Then Josh noticed the shocked expression on the middle-aged woman coming toward him. Maybe standing in the middle of the sidewalk in a London street wasn’t the best place to be discussing his sex life.

“Come on,” Gil said, tugging on Josh’s arm to get him out of the way. “We’ll talk about it over pancakes.”

The diner was obviously an outsider’s idea of a 1950’s diner, with shiny chrome and huge images of New York on the walls, but for a brief moment Josh felt less homesick.
