Chapter Four-Dane

“You sure that’s your costume?” Cale asked, again, as I pulled out my debit card to pay the cashier.

I offered it to the older lady, giving her a charming smile that made her blush as she took it from my hand. “Yes,” I said through gritted teeth. “I’m sure. Why do you keep asking?”

He shrugged, “I dunno. It doesn’t seem…you.”

I let his words roll off my back, signing for my purchase and stuffing everything into my wallet. I decided to ignore his badgering. “You ready?” I questioned, taking the bag and nodding my thanks to the still smiling clerk. “I’m starved.” I started out the door, my thoughts drifting back to the girl in the third store we had been. It was unusual, the effect she seemed to be having on me. She wasn’t interested, that had been clear, yet I couldn’t stop thinking about her. Her onyx eyes had touched my soul, stirring something I hadn’t felt in a long time.

I wasn’t sure I liked it.

“Let’s go back and order pizza,” Cale suggested.

Completely distracted, I answered with a short nod, before walking aimlessly to the car. I fought to not think of her, but I couldn’t stop. Would I ever see her again? Would it matter if I did? She’d obviously disliked me. The questions rolled around in my mind the entire drive home.

“It’ll be $25.83,” the delivery girl flirted, batting her long lashes at me. She was short and petite, a redhead with brown eyes. She wasn’t ugly, but she wasn’t spectacular either. She eyed me, her gaze apparently favoring my biceps and chest.

It was obvious she wanted me.

I pulled out the cash, giving her $30 and telling her to keep the change. Balancing the pizzas on one hand, I attempted to close the door with the other. A small foot lodged between the frame and the door, stopping me. I had to look down to even see what caused the blockage. “Yes?” I asked, slightly annoyed.

“Is this where the party is tomorrow night? The Masked Nights theme?” she smiled, reaching through the still cracked door to grasp my forearm.

I nodded, knowing where this was heading and not liking it.

“Is everyone invited? Will you be there?” she asked, not trying to hide the hopeful lilt in her voice. I could see the desire in her eyes, growing as I indulged her in conversation. Her panties were probably soaked at the thought of having a chance with me.

She didn’t, though. No one did, for anything more than a single session.

“Yeah, it’s for everyone. You need to have a masked costume to get in the door. There will be bouncers,” I explained. I hoped I didn’t sound interested.

“What are you going to be, Big Boy?” she cackled, falling short on sounding sexy.

“It’s a secret. Whole point of the party is to make connections with people without knowing who it is,” I clarified, pulling my arm from her grip. This chick wasn’t getting the hint.

She pulled a pen from her pocket, scribbling a number on top of the pizza box.
