Chapter Six

Drew wondered if Trina had any idea how sensual and appealing she looked. She had always thought of herself as a little goofy, a little messy and klutzy. Yet he had always known those were just pieces of the overall package. She was also fiercely passionate, determined, fearless when trying new things, and gorgeous, with the most compelling and expression-filled brown eyes he’d ever seen.

He wanted to take her to bed for the entire weekend. He wanted to lose track of time and forget about the world around them.

The waitress dropped their pizza down in front of them.

So he’d already lost track of time. Either that or they had baked a pizza in three minutes. “Here, let me get you a piece,” he said, holding his hand out for her plate.

She passed it to him. “Thanks.”

Trina tucked her hair behind her ear and fussed with her napkin. She actually looked shy, which struck him as very unexpected, but very adorable. It wasn’t a trait he associated with her. But given what he’d scanned of her recent dates before she removed them from her page, she hadn’t exactly been hanging out with quality men. It wasn’t hard to treat her with respect or a modicum of consideration. He was actually really enjoying himself.

“I had a guy tell me once that he wasn’t going to pass the bruschetta because if women wanted equality they could get their own bruschetta. He said feminism extended to opening your own door.”

Drew snorted. “Ah, pretentious irony at its Brooklyn best. The truth is, he’s just lazy.”

“Probably. And yet he wanted oral sex but refused to give it in return. I’m not sure how equality applies in that case.”

“You had sex with him?” Drew paused in handing her plate back with a slice of pizza on it. He really didn’t want to think about that. Not now.

“No. We were fooling around but then I saw where it was going—all about him—and I bailed. He got pissed and we never spoke ever again.”

“Good.” He got himself a slice. “I mean, I’m sorry if you were disappointed. Sorry it didn’t work out.”

She laughed. “No, you’re not.”

“No. I’m not.” He was big enough to admit it. “A guy like that is not worth your time or effort. You’ll always be the one compromising, and why should you?”

“That seems to be the modern interpretation of dating. Random texts, half-ass effort, constantly distracted by whatever new and shiny girl has a profile online. We’re all trying so hard to be remote and cool. It’s exhausting.”

That was precisely why he hadn’t really been dating. His focus was on his music and taking the next step in his career, such as it was. He’d been disgusted with himself after he’d left Trina’s apartment before she woke up, and he’d realized he didn’t want to be that guy. So if he wasn’t prepared to put the time and thoughtfulness into a relationship, then he wasn’t entitled to have sex with that woman either. Plain and simple.
