“More than friends, less than lovers.”
BY THE TIME THE TIME I reach Cori and my sister, hipster guy, AKA Brian, has managed to finagle his way exactly between the two women.
“In art our spirits rise, in stories, we are enthralled and elevated,” Cori is saying as I position myself across from her. Our eyes meet, and her lips curve into a smile that matches mine. “With creativity, we make connections between disparate people, we learn that, through our many lenses, we are seeing the same whole, only the path before our feet is still blurred. Life should never be art versus science, but a beautiful marriage of the two.”
Cori is naturally gorgeous, but in her element, she shines and is sexy as fuck. Pride fills my chest. That’s my girl. I’m so turned on.
“What are we talking about?” I’m interested to know what brought so much passion out of Cori.
“Brian was telling us about the Maquoketa caves. And somehow, the conversation shifted to art and science,” Cori says, her gaze going from Brian’s to mine.
“I’m planning on going there again this spring,” Brian says with enthusiasm. The guy is practically begging Cori to come along.
Did I mention the poor guy has no game? Let’s put it this way, if the dude falls into a barrel full of tits, he’ll come up sucking his thumb. Cool guy though.
“Sounds great, man,” I say encouragingly. Truthfully, I don’t give two cents where Brian travels, but I’ve never been a rude guy. Everyone deserves at least one second of the day. I turn my attention on Cori. “Can I talk to you for minute?”
“Sure,” Cori answers rather quickly. She turns to Brian, who is still vying for her attention. “Thanks for the information. I’ll be sure to look up everything. See you in a bit, Kate.”
Oh, yeah, this whole time my sister is glaring at me. Unconcerned, I tilt my chin towards the bar, and say, “Lucas and Cam are flirting with two of your friends.”
Kate spins around. True enough, Cam and Lucas are doing shots with two gorgeous brunettes. She shakes her head then places a hand on Cori’s arm. “Don’t leave until we finalize our plans for next weekend.”
“Sure,” Cori answers.
“Be back,” Kate says, then disappears into the crowd. Poor girl and her need to keep us away from her friends.
“Cori.” Brian clears his throat. “You should join us on the next trip.”
Yeah, over my dead fucking body. This is one of those moments when I quickly pull deep and find my center; otherwise, I might apply some pressure to his face . . . by means of my fist.
“It’s worth thinking about,” Cori responds.
Is she kidding me? Why is she entertaining this guy? She should have said hell fucking no, I’m not going away with you. Because you see, I’ll be busy getting naked with Dean.
Zen. Center. Breathe.
Cori tilts her head in my direction. “You want to ask me something?”
I want to do more, and I intend to tell her as much, but not here.
