Blake smiled and nodded his head. “Alex, you know what you’d like?”
I grinned and said, “I’ll take a grilled chicken salad and Diet Coke, please.”
“I’ll have a grilled chicken wrap and iced tea, Chrissie.”
Chrissie winked at Blake. “Sure thing. I’ll go get your drinks.”
He looked back at me. “How are you liking UT?”
I shrugged. “It’s okay. Kind of big for this small-town country girl.”
“Where are you from?”
“Mason.”
I smiled up at Chrissie as she set my Diet Coke and Blake’s tea down.
“You need anything else, Blake?” she asked.
The way she was eye-fucking him was unreal. I smiled and looked at Blake.
He smiled at her and said, “No, thanks.”
I bit down on my lower lip as I looked at his lips. They looked so soft.
I bet he’s a good kisser.
Oh. My. God. Alexandra, stop this now!
“You, um…free this evening, Blake?” Chrissie asked.
I snapped my head at her.
How does she know we aren’t on a date or something? How rude.
Blake looked at me and then back to her. “Sorry, Chrissie, I’m not free.”
She nodded her head and turned to leave. Blake watched her walk away and then looked back at me.
I busted out laughing. “Wow.”
“I’m sorry. We went out a few times last year.”
I held up my hands. “Please, you don’t owe me any explanations. If she had done that to my boyfriend though, I would have been pissed.”
Blake’s smile faded some. “You have a boyfriend, huh?”
Well, I guess I just took care of letting Blake know about Will.
I smiled. “I do. His name is Will. He goes to A&M.”
Blake smiled slightly. “Why did you not go to A&M with him?”
I began chewing on my bottom lip. “Well, um…”
He reached across the table and pulled my lower lip from my teeth. My body instantly came to attention. His touch didn’t affect me like Will’s, but it certainly did something.
“That is a bad habit, Alex. Now, what were you saying?”
