just speed up so I can get to the part where I’m holding Charlie in my arms, swaying to the slow beat of some sappy country song?
“How’s work today?” I ask Halley before taking a really big bite of my burrito. This place is awesome, and I’m so dang hungry, I’m surprised I didn’t order two of everything.
“It’s going okay, nothing special or major at the moment. Although, the weather is awesome, so I would rather be at the beach. Or hanging at your pool would work, too.”
“Is Kyle still striking out on getting a date out of you?” I ask. Kyle works at the same medical center with Halley, but in a different department. He doesn’t seem to get that Halley isn’t interested. He feels that if he keeps being persistent, she will eventually cave and accept at least one pity date with him. Although, it wouldn’t be a hardship, seeing as he’s a good-looking guy. Why he’s so fixed on Halley is beyond me, though. You would think he would take a couple of ‘no’s’ from her as a hint, then move on. However, the rejection only seems to egg him on further in pursing her.
“Don’t even get me started on him right now. It’s the same old garbage as usual. He asks, I say no, he thinks I’m playing hard to get, and the cycle starts all over.” She says, waving her hands at me in a shooing action. “Enough about him, let’s talk about what our plans are for the weekend. What are you doing?”
“I plan to relax and swim a few laps in the pool. What about you?”
“I’m thinking we need a night out dancing again. I had a blast last weekend, and I want to see the guys again. What do you say?” she asks with a hopeful look on her face.
“What about Naomi? Is she up for going, too?”
“Of course! I think she really liked Tucker, so she’s definitely on board to run into the guys again.” Halley says through a grin before taking a drink of her soda.
“Fancy meeting you here, you saucy woman,” we hear Holt say as he stands over Halley, looking down at her with a sexy grin on his face.
“Of all the places, in all of the burrito joints, in the entire world, you had to walk into mine.” Halley deadpans while looking up into Holt’s eyes and carefree, smiling face.
“Babe, you have to know I would follow you anywhere.” He quips back at her.
“So — what are you two doing here? Stalking much?” she asks with a tiny smile playing on her lips.
“Hey, it’s your fault for texting Holt where you would be. You had to know after last weekend that he’s head over heels in love with you. He would kiss your feet if you asked. You know, I bet he would even let you paint his nails and curl his hair,” Tucker teases both of them.
Holt cuts Tucker a look and replies sarcastically, “You’re oh so funny there, Jim Bob.” He turns back to Halley. “What? We were hungry, and decided to stop by. Is it a crime that two handsome men wanted to eat lunch with two hot babes?”
Rolling her eyes, Halley smiles sweetly at them. “Well, when you put it that way, how can a girl resist the likes of you two and your charms? Go ahead, pull up two chairs, cowboy, before my food gets cold.”
“Yes ma’am.” Holt mockingly tips his nonexistent cowboy hat at her.
“Where’s your little firecracker friend, Miss July?” Tucker looks around the restaurant like Naomi might appear out of thin air.
“She’s at work, like every other red-blooded American. You should have sent her a text to meet you for lunch.”
“Well, I didn’t know I would be coming here until the last minute, when I was roped into spying on Charlie for Nate.” He winks at me.
“Spying? Why, if he wanted to know what Charlie was up to, all he had to do was tag along with you all,” Halley huffs out.
“We aren’t here to spy for Nate,” Holt corrects. “However, he was pretty bummed to be missing out once he knew we were coming to see you both for lunch. Okay, mainly it was because he would be missing out on seeing
