Chapter 11

I loved showing Rori around my place because she appreciated it.

She was the first woman I’d had over, so it’d also been fun sharing it all with her.

On the roof, I’d wanted to kiss her so badly, I could hardly stop myself, but I did because I’m a strong man like that. Also, because she still wasn’t giving me the vibe that she wanted to be kissed, plus, I didn’t want to get slapped.

While we ate, we’d had a great conversation about movies and we found we both liked pretty much the same ones. Once, she got up to clear our salad bowls off the table for some reason, wanting to help, I guess, and when she opened the pantry door, she started laughing so hard, it made me smile just hearing her.

“You are so busted!” she called out and I frowned wondering what she was talking about. When she carried the box the spaghetti Bolognese had come in from an Italian restaurant downtown into the dining room to show me, I’d actually felt my cheeks get hot because I definitely had been busted.

We’d had a good laugh with me admitting the most I could cook was grilled cheese sandwiches but I was trying to impress her. The rest of our conversation was just as easy as I had been at first, with each of us talking about where we’d grown up, then telling stories of our childhood through college years, and I had to admit, I was shocked at how nice she was being, which made me feel bad at serving her papers.

We finished our meals and over the tiramisu I’d also had Filomena’s deliver, we looked at each other and at the same time said, “Look, I’m—” Then we’d laughed and I’d told her to go first.

“I was just gonna apologize for Super Bitch making an appearance,” she said remorsefully.

“Super Bitch?”

She nodded. “Leaps cocky assholes in a single bound.”

I snorted. “That’s what you think of me, huh?”

“Maybe not after tonight…”

That was good. She was seeing me as a guy she might want to date, which meant she’d eventually want to have sex with me, at least I hoped she would, then I could move on.

Ladies. I’m a guy. Sex is never far from our thoughts. You should know that by now. And the moving on part? I know. I’m a dick. But my five-year plan was still in the works.

I cleared my throat and stated, “Well, I was gonna apologize for suing you.”

And then it was like another person showed up as I watched her remember that I’d sent her papers.

I saw her body go tense and I muttered, “Fuck,” but it was already out there. I’d ruined the evening. “Rori, I’ll drop—”

“I need to go,” she insisted, standing and taking her plate to the counter by the sink.

“Rori, I was just trying to—”

“Please take me home,” she whispered.

Our nice evening was over.

I tried explaining on the ride to her apartment, but she kept asking me to “Please be quiet” so I shut up.
