Fuck this bitch and her fat comment.
I would eat it all and not flinch.
“…Devney,” Webber growled around a bite of his food, but since he was all the way across the table, and he spoke so softly, I didn’t catch the first part.
Miraculously, Devney stopped talking.
I glanced over at her to see her still awkwardly perched on the side of the booth, one tanned leg in her high-heeled shoes—she never went anywhere without her high heels—cocked to the side to help her keep her seat since Webber hadn’t moved over at all.
The door jingled, and I looked away from the beautiful woman to see a couple of cops walking our way.
I sighed and looked at my pancakes longingly.
This would be the second time I wouldn’t get to eat my damn pancakes.
“Eat ’em,” Webber urged. “You can answer questions in between bites.”
I decided to take him at his word and slathered on the butter and the syrup.
The cops got to our side, and I saw it was the same man as earlier.
Assman.
He was a cutie, albeit a little too moral compassy for me.
I liked my men on the wilder side, and this Assman guy struck me as the type of man to follow all the rules.
He smiled down at me, and my heart did do a little flip, though.
“Have a seat,” I urged as I moved all the way over, taking my plate with me.
He sat, his eyes going to the cute little boy in my arms.
“This is your nephew, I heard?” he asked, touching Riggens’s sock-covered foot.
“It is,” I said. “Riggens, can you say hi?”
Riggens pulled his face out of my neck and gave me a slobbery kiss instead.
I giggled and reached for a bite of my pancakes.
Riggens tried to snatch my fork out of my hand.
Assman grinned. “I have a son. I miss this stage.”
“Let me have him,” Webber said. “So you can eat.”
I glanced at the woman at his side, and Webber gritted his teeth before he said, “Devney, it’s time to go. We need to talk to the cops here.”
Devney’s face showed the surprise we were all feeling.
Dismissed.
Wow.
“I can wait outside.” Devney tried to save face.
“No,” Webber disagreed. “I’m taking Silver home after. Then I’m going to work.”
