CHAPTER SIX

The bar had quite a crowd for a Sunday evening.

Andrew had been a little quiet since our conversation in his closet. The irony of that certainly wasn’t lost on me. Thankfully he didn’t push it, but he smiled kindly and tried a little too hard to make me feel better, almost like how someone treats a dog that’s been kicked too much.

The irony of that wasn’t lost on me either.

“Drink?” he asked. I nodded, and he went to the bar while I found us a table. He came back with two beers and handed me one. “Out of all the things I’ve asked, what drink you prefer was not one of them.”

“It’s perfect,” I said. “You chose well.”

The bar filled, getting busier and louder. We talked about random stuff. What places we’ve been, what we wanted to be when we were growing up, our most embarrassing moment ever, subjects at school we loved, those we hated, first crushes, first kisses. After three beers I almost forgot what we were there for. Until Andrew looked over my shoulder, his eyes widened and he paled.

I moved closer and put my hand on his waist. “Is Eli here?” I asked quietly into his ear. I felt him nod rather than saw it. “Has he seen us?”

I could feel Andrew’s chest rise and fall against mine, then he nodded. “Yeah. Just now.”

“Good,” I said, pulling back and giving him a smile. “This is what we wanted.”

He looked at me with eyes I couldn’t read. Scared? Unsure? Sorry?

Still with my hand on him, I leaned in again and whispered in his ear. “I want to know how far that blush creeps down your body.”

He barked out a laugh, and as I’d presumed, he blushed. Which was the very reason I said it. “Jesus,” he mumbled, sipping his beer.

I was grinning at him. It was the perfect reaction. If not for the dickhead ex-boyfriend, then it was for me. I didn’t realise I had a thing for men who blushed.

I didn’t realise I was starting to have a thing for Andrew.

Sure, I treated him differently to any other client I’d had, but that was just because we got on so well. Or so I told myself. It wasn’t until there was a guy behind me who I’d still never laid eyes on that it really hit me…

I had feelings for Andrew.

I didn’t know what I wanted. But I was pretty sure I didn’t want Andrew to reconcile with Eli. Actually, I didn’t even want him to speak to him.

I was failing at my job. Well, that wasn’t exactly true. I was swaying my job for personal gain, and that was worse.

“What do I do?” he asked.

I was going to tell him to make his way to the bar. Give Eli the opportunity to make contact. But then Andrew put his hand on my chest, and that touch, that warmth changed everything.

“We bide our time,” I whispered in his ear. I could smell his cologne, I could feel his body heat against me.
