you were not the one that baked it.”
“Why are you always so mean to me?”
“What?” Tanya frowned at him.
“You are either sarcastic or-” before he finished speaking, Tanya started laughing.
“I'm sorry but I cannot take you seriously right now. I have never been mean to you, James,” Tanya took a sip of her coffee and smiled as she swallowed it.
“I taste better,” he said to her. He burst into laughter when he saw her facial expression. “Relax,” he said.
“You have issues,” she said with a smile on her face.
“Tell me about yourself.” James was interested in knowing what she was all about. Tanya told him that she had known Rene since high school and they were roommates since they went to university together. She had studied forensic accounting, but was presently working nights for a company in their customer service department because it currently paid better than an entry level position and she had student loans to pay off.
“There really isn't much to say,” Tanya shrugged her shoulders. James had been studying her as she spoke. She was so beautiful and he loved the sound of her voice.
“There is a lot to say,” he said slowly.
“Like what?”
“Are you seeing anyone over there?”
“No.” Tanya narrowed her gaze at him.
“That is hard to believe. Tell me more about your job.”
“You want to hear about that?” she asked him. James nodded. Tanya sighed before she started speaking.
The two of them sat together for hours just talking about everything. Tanya answered every question that James threw at her. He listened to her and studied her as she spoke. He answered some of the questions she had for him. They even watched the video of the monkeys at the zoo and laughed about it.
“I cannot believe you recorded that,” James said to her.
“I told you, I am going to share it with Joshua and Rene,” she said.
“I cannot wait to see Joshua's face when he sees that.”
“So, you are the younger twin?”
“I am. Can't you tell?”
“I can, you are more immature.”
James narrowed his gaze at her. “The younger sibling is always the better looking one,” he said and ran his hand through his wavy, jet-black hair.
“Pssh,” Tanya rolled her eyes at him. “Whoever said that, lied,” she added.
“Do you have any siblings?” he asked her.
“An older brother.”
“See, you made my point, the younger one is better looking.”
“You have not even seen my brother.”
“I do not have to. I already know you're the better looking one.” He stared at her with an intense gaze as Tanya smiled at him. He decided that he wanted to see her smile more often. Especially if he was the cause.
“Your princely charms do not affect me,” she said.
“There are no princely charms. I am just being honest.” She was beautiful indeed. Her hazel eyes sparkled with life. Her lips were so tempting that he wanted to bite them gently and kiss them. She smelled good and her skin was soft. Her curly hair suited her even if it did seem to have a life of its own. She was gorgeous and he wanted her. Every second that he spent with her, his desire for her grew.
Chapter 7
One of the waitresses came to their table to ask if they needed anything else. The entire time she was speaking to them, she was looking at James. She kept smiling and trying to get his attention. Tanya covered her mouth and coughed to mask her laugh. It was not surprising, after all he was a prince, a good looking one at that.
James helped Tanya up from her seat when it was time to leave. She hated to admit how much of a gentleman he had been to her throughout the day. He had been good company and he was incredibly funny. Yes, he was conceited and always made references to sex but there was a different side to him that she found she liked and she was interested in seeing more of
