Chapter 15

As promised, I’d picked up dinner. Gyoza was, easily, one of the world’s most perfect foods, and our favorite place where I’d ordered it used used enough garlic in them that I could have killed a vampire just by breathing on them, but I loved it.

The little pieces of garlic caramelized and got stuck between your teeth, making it difficult to fish them out with your tongue, and that’s exactly what Tiffany and I were doing.

“Am I clean?” I asked, turning to her and pulling back my lips so she could see all of my teeth. It felt ridiculous, but it was easier than getting up and walking the short distance to the bathroom to floss.

“Mostly.” She pointed to my front top teeth. “You have a big one right there. Too bad Nick isn’t here, because I’m sure he’d love to see this.”

“Hush, you,” I told her, sucking hard at my front teeth. I wasn’t sure if I got it out or not, so I put my hand over my mouth before speaking again. “Besides, I told you about the leggy blonde. I don’t think he has any interest in me, garlic teeth or no.”

“Are you sure that it’s his girlfriend?” She leaned over and put her plate on the coffee table. “It’s entirely possible that she’s his friend, right?”

“Friends don’t make friends laugh like that unless they’re talking about doing the horizontal no-pants dance,” I pointed out. “Besides, they look perfect together.”

Before she could retort, my phone vibrated.

Well, not my phone.

That phone.

The phone.

I’d had it in my lap since I got home, and I grabbed it now, only to see that it was ringing. It vibrated for what felt like an hour, then sat silent in my lap. A minute later there was a beep for a voicemail.

Shaking, I flipped open the phone and dialed in to check it.

“Did you have to buy a dinosaur phone,” Tiffany asked, but I ignored her as I punched in my voicemail code and put it on speaker. In just a moment, the warm sound of Nick’s sexy voice filled the room.

“Hey, Marie, this is Nick Marshall. You catered at my company on Friday but weren’t able to come to the event. I just wanted to thank you personally for the work you did and tell you how sorry I am that you can’t cater for us this week. Hopefully we’ll be able to work together again soon, that stew was delicious. Anyway, have a great night.”

He hung up and I pressed “7” to save the message, then shut the phone. Even though he didn’t know that he was talking to me, that message was about all of my hard work, and I was definitely going to listen to it later when Tiffany wasn’t around.

“He does sound dreamy,” Tiffany said, and I nodded.

“I can’t believe he really called,” I told her. “I don’t know what I’m going to do if this continues.”

“It won’t.” She sounded confident and I felt my heart lift. It was entirely possible that I could stop lying if he didn’t call me again.
