Chapters (20)
"The lobster and a beer," Drake says while Wyatt’s eyes never leave mine as he orders, as does Alex. I ask for the half roast chicken and a glass of wine, as I'm going to need it.
"If you need anything, just call," she says while running her fingers over Wyatt’s shoulder. He doesn't even glance her way as his gaze never leaves mine. I have to admit it’s nice that he doesn’t look at her; he seems to think he has won something because he smiles. It highlights the high cheekbones of his face and his dark eyelashes, under the dim lights of the restaurant; the effect is sexy as sin.
"How was your day?" I ask Wyatt, trying to be polite.
"Better now I'm on a date with you." He tells me honestly. I have to admit I’m not that shocked he has found a way to get a date with me, the way he stared at me as I left him at the party still strong in my mind.
"This isn't a date, I never agreed to it," I say glaring at him.
Wyatt leans back with a frown, as Drake surprises me by laughing. Alex grins in my direction.
"That's the first time anyone has actually said they didn't want a date with him. You’re going to hurt his ego." Drake says calming himself down from laughing. Drake smiles at my shocked face, I’m not shocked that Wyatt isn’t turned down very often but I am that Drake actually smiles at me.
"I'm sure he will survive," I say dryly. Alex nudges me with her leg under the table, and I just lean back in my chair looking out the window. Our drinks arrive with the flirty waitress, who again tries to get Wyatt’s attention, but he looks like he is trying to solve a puzzle while staring at me.
"I'm using the bathroom," Alex says getting up.
"Me too," Drake says watching her and I hear their giggles as they walk away. I can't help the smile that appears on my face at my best friend being happy.
"I like it when you smile," Wyatt says and I look back to him seeing him resting his head on his joint hands.
"You've not seen much of it. Not that you've given me a reason to around you." I state crossing my arms.
"I'm sorry my approach to you was rude. Drake was right; I've never had to do much. You were a welcome surprise." He says, flashing me a cheeky smile.
"I'm sure you can find someone easy again, hell the waitress would take you home in a second." I say realising quickly how jealous my tone sounded.
Wyatt never misses a beat as he grins, making my heart bounce in my chest at how breathtakingly handsome he is.
