CHAPTER NINETEEN

Later that day, after they both had gone home and showered and changed, Teddy took Nikki out to lunch. It was his way of showing her life with him wasn’t always going to be this complicated. Although, he knew, deep down, that it was.

The line at the front of the restaurant was long, as well-connected patrons waited to be seated, and Teddy had no reservation. But when he made his way to the Maître d desk, presumably, Nikki thought, to get a number so that they could wait in line too, the Maître d immediately sprang into action.

“Mr. Sinatra, good afternoon,” he said quickly, as he grabbed two menus. “Please follow me, sir.”

Teddy placed his hand on the small of Nikki’s back and pushed her forward as they made their way to a private, VIP table near the back of the restaurant. Nikki could see many of the ladies in the upscale restaurant taking peeps at Teddy as they walked by. Not that she was surprised. Teddy was a very desirable man. But it was the ladies who looked surprised. And their looks were undeniable: Him? With her? And they seemed to be wondering what special sauce she had to wrangle a man like that.

But Teddy saw a different look. He saw the look on the faces of the men they passed. And those men had an undeniable look too. Those men, it seemed to Teddy, looked envious. They looked as if they were wondering what special sauce he had to wrangle a woman like Nikki! It was a thought that occurred to him every time he looked at Nikki. Most women would have been gone by now, especially after those explosions. Nikki acted as if they were no big deal to her. As if that craziness was just another day at the office.

After they both sat down at the table, with Teddy first holding Nikki’s chair, the Maître d handed them the menus and took their drink orders, and then left to place the order.

Nikki smiled. “Somebody has some pull up in here,” she said. “For real.”

Teddy smiled too, but it was one of those weak smiles. “A little bit,” he replied as his cell phone began ringing.

He was not a bragger, Nikki thought, as Teddy looked at his Caller ID. She liked that about him. He also was a very busy man. His phone had not stopped ringing since they left the docks. And other than a few calls, he took them all. Including the current call from Joey notifying him that the cops and firefighters had left. The arson investigators, however, he added, were still snooping around. Teddy ordered him to keep the lawyers onsite until were gone too. And then he ended the call.

A waiter arrived with their drink orders, took their lunch orders, and then left the table. Nikki waited while Teddy answered yet another phone call, and then she leaned forward. As Teddy sat his cell phone back on the table, he noticed her cleavage and how he was going to enjoy them again when they made it back home.
