Chapter Eighteen

Blake wasn’t quite sure what the hell prompted him to spill his guts this time, but there wasn’t a damned thing he could do to take it back now. She continued to have this effect on him, and it was unsettling as hell.

Or was it comforting?

He wasn’t ready to examine how he felt close enough to decide which one. Not yet.

Thankfully, Zandra hadn’t brought it up once they’d sat down to eat, although he’d been more than prepared to shut down the conversation.

Now he glanced across the hotel room kitchen as she walked in, DVD case in hand. “Found something in the hotel library,” she said. “I hope it’s good.”

He cleared his throat as he put away the last of the dinner dishes. “Good or not, all that matters is the translation. Any movie will do. It’s what I did to learn different languages wherever I was posted. Would you trust me on this?”

“Okay, fine.” She held up the TV remote control. “Honestly, though, I can’t tell what it’s even about, so I’m telling you right now, if it’s a horror movie, I’m out unless you want me sleeping next to you tonight.”

He snapped his gaze toward her and caught the moment when her words sank into her brain. A bright shade of pink flushed her cheeks, and she blinked a couple of times. “I mean…ummmm…that is…”

“Yes?” He crossed his arms. “Go on, I’m listening.”

“You’re making fun of me.”

“Yep. And enjoying every second of it.” He grinned. “So, what are you going to do about it?”

“How about ignore you? I should probably put this away.” She picked up a discarded T-shirt, stood from where she’d been perched on the edge of the blue sofa, and tossed the shirt across the room and onto her bed.

He chuckled. “You’re such a rebel. What would your mother say now that you’re such a slob?”

She tilted her head and gave him a mock glare and raised her chin. “I’m going to make some popcorn.”

Ugh. He hated popcorn, but there was no way she’d know that. Besides, there were worse things in the world than popcorn. He hung a kitchen towel on the oven’s handle and turned as she pulled a package out of the cupboard.

“Good thing I went to the store with you or we might not be having this tonight.” She opened up one end of the package and slid a bag out.

“Yeah, that would’ve been a disaster.”

“You’re mocking me now.”

“What was your first clue?”

“Funny guy.”

He laughed. “Seriously, we just had dinner. You can’t be hungry already.”

“I’m not, but what’s a movie without popcorn?”

“Ummm…a movie?”

“An incomplete experience.”

“Says you.”

“Says a lot of people.” She pushed some buttons on the microwave. “I’m beginning to get the impression that you don’t like popcorn, but that’s impossible. Everyone loves popcorn.”

“I don’t.”

She leaned a hip on the counter and regarded him with cool, assessing eyes. “And why not?”

He shrugged. “It’s not that big a deal.”

She leaned forward as if imparting earth-shattering news. “So humor me.”

He crossed his arms and saw the challenge in her eyes.
