Chapter 9

COLD PIZZA

LIBBY

“Where did it go?” I look around the alley for the kitten, who is no longer anywhere to be found. I searched for it earlier, when Antonio showed up with the milk for it, but didn’t find it then, either.

“He’s probably hanging with all the other strays—wherever they hang out,” Antonio says from the back door of the pizzeria.

I glare at him over my shoulder, then start down the alley to see if I can spot the kitten hanging out around one of the other dumpsters.

“It’s cold, Libby. You don’t even have a coat on. Get your ass back in here.”

“I know it’s cold, Antonio. That’s why I’m trying to find the kitten. It’s a baby, and it’s freezing. It could die out here.”

“It’s not going to die.” He grabs my hand to prevent me from walking any farther down the dark alley. “We’ll leave the milk out for him. With any luck, it’ll get to it before the rats do.”

“Aren’t you just a ball of positivity?” I sigh.

He laughs as he wraps his arm around my shoulder to lead me back inside. I can’t exactly spend my night tracking down the kitten, so I reluctantly let him lead me back inside the shop.

“You can try to catch your kitten again tomorrow,” he tells me as he grabs the pizza he made for us to take to my place.

I glance at the back door, wondering if I should look one more time before we leave for the night.

“It’ll be all right,” he says, placing his fingers under my chin so I’ll focus on him. “If you don’t catch it by tomorrow, I’ll call a friend of mine who does animal control for the city and have him come out to set a trap for you.”

“Really?” I ask, swaying into him. His face softens.

“Yeah, Princess.”

“Thank you.”

He touches his lips to my forehead, then lets my chin go.

“Come on. Let’s get our coats and go to your place.”

He places a hand on the small of my back and starts leading me toward the office.

Nervous butterflies fill my stomach as I put on my coat and grab my bag. I didn’t really have time to think about being alone with Antonio in my apartment earlier because of the distraction of work, the kitten, and then trying to come up with a way to tell Antonio about the shop. Now, with Antonio putting down the shutters and my place only a couple of blocks away, my mind is suddenly consumed by what could happen—and what I want to happen. I don’t know that I’m ready to have sex, but I’m for sure ready to spend a lot of time making out with him.

“How are your sisters?” he asks, breaking into my thoughts as we walk toward my apartment hand in hand.

“They’re good. Both of them have been pretty busy, so I haven’t seen either of them for a while.” I admit to myself that I’m a little upset about that.

“You guys are
