Chapter 13

Even with showering and calling a cab, Amanda arrived before Billy did. He didn’t see her right away, but Billy in a Chinese restaurant was like finding an Easter Island statue in a preschool. He kinda stuck out.

Built like a Humvee on legs, his shoulders were too wide to fit through the door, so he had to cheat and enter sideways while ducking. It was fascinating to watch, really. Amanda couldn’t figure out how that much chest could sit atop a thin waist, but something in the way he moved suggested that when training was over, Billy was going to grow a gut. When that happened, he’d probably be even scarier.

He spotted her at the table and grinned like a little boy and wiggled his fingers at her the way a child did when told to greet his grandmother. It was cute and little surreal. He wound his way past the tables, surprisingly graceful, and managed not to trod on anyone. When he sat in the chair opposite her, he ignored the groan of protest from the wood and Amanda, after a moment’s panic, accepted that the chair wasn’t going to implode after all. At least, not all at once.

“Hey, sorry I’m late,” Billy said and ducked his head. Amanda wasn’t sure, given how dark his skin was, but thought Billy was blushing. He was nervous. This muscle-bound giant was shy around her.

It was kind of adorable.

She smiled, trying to put him at ease. “I had to make a stop on the way here. So I just got here. You’re looking really good today.”

Billy grinned, delighted. “Thank you!” He glanced down at his button-down shirt, tucked casually into a pair of jeans. “It’s kinda hard finding clothes for someone my size; most of what I have I had to get tailor-made. If I had a regular job, I couldn’t afford any clothing at all.”

Amanda smiled, not sure how to respond to that, and pretended to study the menu. Billy did study the menu and spent a great deal of time before choosing two of the meals out of the four front-runners. He folded the menu and smiled beatifically at her.

“So,” he said, leaning forward on the table, tilting it dangerously in his direction. “How’s Nate?”

Talking about one’s pretend boyfriend was not what Amanda was expecting on a first date, but sure… why not? “Nate is… good. I think. I’m not sure, as he’s not actually talking to me at the moment. After what happened on the plane.” She sighed. “I don’t do well on planes, I think.”

“Nonsense,” Billy said with a gentle smile. “You were fine. In fact, I really liked the underwear.”

She choked on the water she was sipping. “Uh…thank you.”

“No, it was cute. Not everyone can pull off a thong and a fall like that.” Amanda felt her face heat up. It didn’t help when Billy added. “I certainly can’t.”

The visual was too much for her. Amanda hid behind the menu before she did something totally asinine like laugh and hurt his feelings.
