Davy Harwood in Transition (The Immortal Prophecy 2) - Page 81

"You're the chef?"

He smirked. "I have many skills."

"Okay," I replied as I scooted onto a stool beside Emily. She stiffened and bowed her head. "Surprise me. Whatever you want."

"Anything?" His eyes lit up.

"She just said anything." Kates scowled.

A heated look pas

sed between the two before he jerked away. I heard the control in his voice as he forced a light tone. "You said anything, Davy. Be warned."

I watched Kates, but said to him, "It'll be fine. I'm sure."

She rolled her eyes at me this time, popped a strawberry in her mouth and left the room. Brown watched her go and I saw the same nonjudgmental curiosity from when she'd studied me with Roane before fill her eyes.

"This is a really nice place, Davy. This is your—" Pippa frowned.

"Boyfriend's?" Emily supplied. She looked up again.

My roommate was in love with a werewolf, but she was acting jealous. I thought she was over her crush. "I guess. I've never been here before."

"Lucas seems to own a lot of places."

Though Gavin didn't act any differently, I could feel his interest in the conversation. His hands slowed as he opened an egg.

"Davy."

"Yeah?" I looked back over. Emily had been studying me. "What?"

"So you and Lucas are serious?"

Pippa moved away from the counter, but Brown inched closer. The witch stepped away from the table to round the counter so she was behind me. It was a slow movement, but I knew that Gavin had noticed it. His eyes jerked up once, but went right back to the skillet.

"Why are you asking me about him?"

Emily drew back. "I can't ask you some questions? You lied to me about him, remember?"

"We've gone over this."

Annoyance flashed over her face, but she cleared it quickly. "I thought you were in love with Adam before. I'm just wondering how serious this is. I don't want you hurt again."

She was lying. I knew that much, but this sudden loathing shook me. "I thought you cared about me."

"I do." Emily smiled. "Why do you say that?"

What could I say without making it worse?

"A bitch." Pippa jumped as she spoke.

All eyes turned to her.

"What did you say?"

Pippa jerked to the side. She met Emily's gaze. "A bitch. You're being a bitch."

“Excuse me?"
