Holy shit, is he going to kiss me?I’m relieved when he only plants a kiss on my cheek, then leaves.
“Wow,” Connie says around a mouthful of pizza. “You lucky bitch. Here I am, struggling to find a decent guy, and you havetwoguys after you.”
“Ted isn’t into me, he likes guys.”
Connie swallows and stares at me with wide eyes. “You’re being serious?”
“Yes.”
She bursts out laughing.
“What?” I ask, confused.
“I’m sorry, but you should have seen the way he watched your ass sway when you walked into the kitchen.”
“It didn’t sway.”
Connie arched a brow. “Did he tell you he was gay?”
I think back on all my conversations with Ted.Has he ever actually told me that?
Not that I can recall. He has commented on guys, though. Although, they were guys he thought I was into.
“I see those wheels turning. Let me save you time. Ted is into you.”
I fall back onto the couch and sigh. “I hope you’re wrong. He’s one of the few friends I have at work.”
“If you plan to be with Cody, then I suggest you get new friends and keep what you have with Ted limited to work. Stop inviting him over.”
“I didn’t. We were supposed to go for dinner,” I grumble.
I thought as friends.
CHAPTER24
Cody
“Welcome back to the States, Cody,”Hawthorne says, as he slaps me on the back.
“Yeah, thanks.”
I’m very happy to be back. But I’ll be happier when I’m back in Washington state later tonight.
“Thanks for briefing me yesterday,” he says. “I’m surprised to see you here—I thought you’d be on a direct flight to Seattle.”
“I wanted to be, but I have some things I have to take care of here before I can go.”
He walks around his desk and sits in his chair. “It’s final then? You really want to transfer to Morgan Thompson?”
I sit down in the chair opposite him. “If Lucy will have me, yes. And even if she doesn’t, I plan to show her I’ll wait for her until she’s ready.”
He nods. “I can respect that. When you find the one, you do everything you can to be with her. God knows I would give anything to have Kaitlyn back.”
“I thought your wife’s name is Stacy?”
He sighs. “It is. Kaitlyn was my first wife. She was the true love of my life but sadly she lost her battle with cancer. As for Stacy, well, I’m learning she may not be who I thought she was.”
“I’m sorry.”
