The young man grinned. “Coming right up.”
By the time they finished their appetizers of stuffed mushrooms and cocktail shrimp, which were delicious, Izzy poured the remainder of the pitcher into Cami’s glass.
“Are you trying to get me drunk?” she asked, taking another quick peek at the swinging door.
Marcos approached and asked, “Another pitcher, ladies?”
“Not for me,” Cami said. “I’ve had plenty.”
He cleared their dishes. “I believe your meals are ready. I will bring them out.”
Feeling the warmth of the piña coladas, she blurted, “Will you also bring the two gorgeous chefs who cooked our meals? Oh my God. What did I just say?” Her cheeks started to burn with embarrassment. “Just kidding.”
Marcos smiled, and Toni and Izzy laughed.
“I’ll be right back, señoritas.”
After he was out of earshot, she said, “It’s not even one and I’m making a fool of myself because you two had to have drinks.”
Toni grinned. “Wine, beer, or alcohol always did act like a truth serum for you, Cami.”
She shrugged. “What can I say? The Sanchez brothers are hot as hell.”
“We are?” someone behind her asked.
She recognized the voice of Miguel Sanchez and thought about crawling under the table.
Chapter Two
Roberto watched Cami turn around slowly. Her face was flushed, enhancing her already incredible beauty. Her long auburn locks hung past her shoulders. Her gorgeous blue eyes were wide.
This angel thinks Miguel and I are hot as hell. Wanting to keep her on her toes, he smiled and waited for her to respond to his question.
But Miguel spoke first, giving her a way to save face. “Muy caliente, señorita. Especially in the kitchen. ” With a sly grin, his brother wiped his brow. “We’ll get Marcos to check the AC.”
Toni and Izzy covered their mouths, turned their heads, and began giggling.
“Stop it, you two,” Cami said, fanning her face with her hands. “It really is warm.”
He grinned. “Hot as hell, as you already pointed out.”
She squirmed in the chair.
“When we found out you were coming, we prepared some special dishes for you,” Miguel told them. “Marcos is bringing them out now.”
“Who let you know we were coming?” Cami asked, glaring at her two friends.
“It wasn’t me,” Toni said. “I swear.”
“Me either,” Izzy added, looking confused.
“Who, then?” Cami demanded. He liked her fire and couldn’t take his eyes off of her.
“We can answer that,” Miguel said. “Isabella’s husbands called us about an event they wanted the restaurant to host for their company in a couple of weeks. They happened to mention that the three of you were having lunch here today.”
Clay and Jay had tried to pass it off as just a casual comment, but he knew them better than that and so did Miguel. They’d all been friends for years. Clay and Jay could have called any time to set up the event. It was only an excuse to give him and Miguel a heads-up.
“I should have known.” Izzy smiled. “I love those two knuckleheads, but they don’t know how to keep a secret.”
