“Dan is looking for her,” who? “She owes him… a lot.”
“Well, good luck.”
I hang up and head to the closest Subway, shit… what do I get her?
After purchasing an array of subs I head back to her store, it’s quite busy when I get there. There are a few people wandering the aisles. I notice Amelia’s clothes already set up at the front of the kids section. I head over to the counter and stand to the side as Loryn runs some dudes items through the checkout. This gives me a great time to scan her from head to toe. She glances at me and falters a little, I watch her nervously tuck her hair behind her ears.
“Have a nice day,” sh e says to the man with his hands full of purchases as he leaves. I hold up the bag of food in my own hand.
“I brought lunch.”
Her eyes narrow on me and a smirk touches her lips, “I’m a vegetarian.”
I smirk back and place the bag of food on the counter, “I anticipated you lying about that , so I got a vegetarian one too.”
Her mouth falls open. “Why are you doing this?” a woman comes to the checkout, she gives me the fuck-me eyes and peruses me without shame. Then she smiles and winks. “Sorry, let me just bag these for you.” Loryn gets on with her job.
“I’ll have lunch with you, I love meat,” the forty something woman drawls, sure she’s attractive but not my type. Hell, I’ll play along.
“I love women who love meat.”
Her smile broadens, “Oh, you do, do you?”
“Uh-huh.”
Loryn watches our exchange with a gaping mouth. Yeah, she likes me really. Is that jealousy I see in her eyes? Or am I just being hopeful?
“Maybe, we could go to lunch instead?” she suggests with a wink.
Loryn’s jaw hits the floor. I run my hand through my hair and shrug, “My girlfriend here wouldn’t like that I don’t think.”
“Oh my,” the woman giggles. “You go girl.” Hell yeah.
Loryn opens and closes her mouth like a fish before blurting, “I’m not his girlfriend.” She looks at me angrily, “I am not your girlfriend.”
Don’t laugh. Do not laugh. “Baby, I told you I was sorry.” I look at the woman. “I bought her yellow roses, she only likes red.” With a dramatic exhale of air I continue. “I can’t do anything right.”
“He has never brought me roses,” Loryn scoffs in disbelief and practically shoves the bags in the woman’s hands. “Lucas! Tell her!”
“Oh Loryn honey, I can’t believe you haven’t told us about this piece of man cake. He’s tasty. It’s rude not to share.”
I lean over the counter and feign hurt, “Baby, are you ashamed of me?”
“You are not my boyfriend,” she points at me and looks at the woman. “He is not my boyfriend!”
The woman just laughs and walks away, “Call me with the details! It’s about time you got laid!”
I like this woman .
“So, Italian BMT or turkey and ham?” I shake the bag at a fuming Loryn. She’s so angry her normally brown eyes look almost black. “Or the vegetarian. Personally I think you’d prefer the meatball sub. You choose.”
“I’m not having lunch with you!” she practically shrieks and all eyes turn towards us. She takes a deep breath, her tits come up, she exhales, her tits stay up. Nice. “And I do not need to get laid.”
Okay. “Really? Because you know… being the opposite sex and all I could help with…” something warm, wet and floppy hits me in the face. Bitch can throw. “Did you just throw a dishrag at me?” I look at the damp, white cloth on the floor by my boot clad feet. “You just threw a dishrag at me.”
“You told her you’re my boyfriend!” she hisses and comes around the counter to pick up the dishrag. I step forward, I can’t resist, she gulps and
