Hannah closed her menu, wishing a burger were at the top instead of seared Hamachi with a ponzu aioli dipping sauce. Whatever the hell that was. But her publicist had made them a reservation at some place called, Okto, which was the place to be seen in Miami.

“Do you like sushi?” she asked Carlos. “Sorry I didn’t ask.”

He shrugged, looking too edible in his pale blue dress shirt which highlighted his golden brown skin. “I like all fish. Raw, grilled, smoked… Anyway, I’m on your dime this week. You pick the places.”

She frowned down at her menu, regretting that she’d ever offered to pay Carlos. After the combustible sexual chemistry between them, she suspected he would’ve spent the week with her free of charge, and merely because he wanted to be with her. Too late. She’d made the offer. He’d accepted, and whatever true romance might’ve blossomed between them had withered.

“I’m ready to order,” he said. “You?”

“Sure.”

Carlos gave an easy wave to the waiter, which she appreciated. He’d taken control but not in an asshole kind of way. In a friendly way. Or maybe he and the waiter were actually friends. A hunch that was confirmed a second later when he and the waiter clapped hands and spoke Spanish to each other. She’d taken high school Spanish, but Señora Perez had in no way prepared her to understand whatever Carlos was saying.

He turned to her. “Is your heart set on something on the menu, or can I order for you? There are a few specials they don’t list on the regular menu.”

She doubted she’d like anything she’d pick for herself anyway. “Sure,” she said, tossing the menu to the side. “Go for it, but please not too high in fat or sugar.”

“I’ve got you covered, Starr.” He grinned at the waiter and finished ordering in Spanish, of which she understood not a word, until he got to the last word, which everyone understood because he’d dropped an eff bomb. He was staring at a point off to her left and his dark skin paled.

“Everything okay? Is there something wrong with our order…” Hannah started to ask, but was cut off by a tall gorgeous woman who stalked over on impossibly high heels and got in her face.

“You puta,” the woman said, ending on a shriek.

Puta meant whore, right? Oh no, she didn’t. Hannah rose, and though she was inches shorter than this angry goddess, she was a trained actress. She had presence. “Do I know you?” Her voice carried, but raising it was unnecessary as the restaurant was deadly silent, all eyes on the ensuing show. Pop star versus angry Latina supermodel. Hannah’s money was on herself.

“Fatima.” Carlos also rose and put a hand on the woman’s shoulder, but she slapped it away.

“Don’t ‘Fatima’ me, you cheater.”

Hannah leaned forward, projecting outward calm, despite her racing heart. “I know what’s happening here,” she announced.

Both Carlos and Fatima turned to her.

“Deal’s off, Carlos,” she told him. “I despise cheating.” She bent for her purse, and discovered her hands were trembling.
