Chapter Six

Asher

“Asher! Hey, Asher!”

I turned off the cutting torch and lifted my helmet. I wiped the sweat from my face and stared at the shop manager. “What?”

“You got a visitor in reception.”

“What? Who?”

How the fuck would I know? She’s got red hair.”

I pulled my helmet off and dropped it on the work table before yanking off my gloves. They joined the helmet and I ran my hands through my hair. My pulse was thudding, and I was more excited than I should have been that Luna had come to see me at work. I hadn’t slept well last night. I was pissed that Luna had chosen Lydia over me last night and after only one night of sleeping next to her, I was already way too fucking used to it.

Christ, I really was losing my goddamn mind.

Still, it didn’t stop me from grinning like an idiot as I headed toward reception. It was almost lunch, maybe she wanted to grab something to eat. I opened the reception door, the smile dying on my lips when I saw Lydia standing there.

She gave me a bright smile. “Hi, Asher. How are you today?”

“What are you doing here?”

“I thought maybe we could have lunch together.”

“Where’s Luna?”

“She’s working. I thought it could just be the two of us.”

“I’m busy.”

“Oh, I imagine you are, but you can take time out to have lunch with me, can’t you? Get caught up for old time’s sake.”

“No.”

I wouldn’t lie, there was a part of me that loved seeing the look of surprise on Lydia’s face whenever she was denied what she wanted.

“All right.” Lydia recovered quick, I’d give her that. “I’ll see you tonight anyway.”

She caught my blank look of incomprehension before I could hide it.

“At dinner. Mommy and Daddy will be here in a few hours and I’ve arranged a reservation at the only halfway decent restaurant in town. At least I hope Baker’s Steakhouse is still decent.” She made a small shudder before giving me a small triumphant smile. “Didn’t Luna invite you to dinner? That seems strange, to not invite her boyfriend to family dinner.”

I fished my cell phone out of my pocket and glanced at it. “She sent me a text. I just haven’t had the chance to read it yet.”

“Oh.” She waited and when I didn’t say anything, she sighed. “I guess I’ll see you at six then.”

“Guess so.” I watched her leave before glancing at my cell again. Luna hadn’t texted or called me, and I ignored my urge to text her. I had no idea why she didn’t want me at her family dinner tonight, but it was too late now. I was going, whether she liked it or not.
