Chapter 21
I knew I was glowing as I walked into the restaurant with Travis by my side. I told him that we had to be as professional as possible. Even though Poppy knew that we had slept together, I didnât want her to think that he was going to be my new boyfriend or anything serious because I knew how excited she would get.
When I spotted her standing next to the bar, I ran over to her. I tapped her on the shoulder, and she turned around with a huge smile. We hugged each other.
âOh my gosh, you look absolutely beautiful, Molly,â Poppy said, her brown eyes genuine and warm. âIâve missed you so much.â
âIâve missed you, too,â I said. âYou left your hair curly today,â I said, glancing at her, and she nodded.
âIâm trying not to blow it out so much.â She wrinkled her nose. âI was starting to get heat damage, and I had to cut quite a bit off last time, soâ¦â She shrugged. âWhereâs your man?â
âHeâs not my man,â I hiss to her under my breath. âHeâs my boss. Remember that.â
âOkay,â she said. âWhatever you say.â She grinned. âI want to hear all the details, by the way.â
âYou will,â I said quickly, âbut not right now becauseâ¦â
âHi,â Travis said, his deep voice booming from behind me. âI am Travis Covington. Iâm Mollyâs boss.â
âHi,â Poppy said, shaking his hand and grinning. âIâm Poppy. Iâm Mollyâs best friend.â
âItâs nice to meet you, Poppy,â he said, giving her a warm smile.
I wondered if he was attracted to her. Poppy was one of the most gorgeous women I knew, and pretty much every guy tried to shoot his shot with her, but she was oblivious to men. Not because she wasnât interested, but because she didnât have that much experience. She had been so focused on her studies for such a long time that she hadnât learned the art of flirtation. So she never knew when a man was paying special attention to her.
I looked into Travisâs face to see if he was flirting, and I was pleased to see that while he was smiling at her warmly, he didnât have that extra glint in his eyes.
âIâve heard so much about you,â Poppy said, âand I canât wait to find out more.â
âIâm sad to say that I havenât heard that much about you aside from the fact that youâre best friends with Molly. So I look forward to getting to know you, too.â
âAwesome,â she said. âWell, the maître dâ told me the table would be ready in about ten minutes. I was just about to order a drink. Do you guys want to get something as well?â
Travis nodded. âThat sounds like a great idea. I think Iâll get an old-fashioned. What would you like, Molly?â
âI think Iâll get a martini. What are you getting, Poppy?â
âI was going to get a pear martini.â She grinned. âHold the olives.â
I laughed. âYeah. Hold the olives for me.â
Travis looked over at me in surprise. âYou donât like olives?â
âNot really.
