“So, just the two of you?” I asked when my throat finally calmed back down.
“Hm?” Tanner looked up from his food.
“Just you and Felix going to dinner?”
“Nonsense. My art collection barely fits as is.” He gestured to one of the statues covered with a sheet.
“So…why are you having dinner with him?”
“I’m not. It’ll just be Kennedy and him. Somewhere with a hotel upstairs so they can shag and we can tell if it’s true love right away.”
“What the hell?”
“I just got your blessing…”
“Telling you he’s a good guy isn’t a blessing for Kennedy to fuck another guy.”
“Is it not?”
“No! What the hell is wrong with you? Kennedy had a crush on him in high school.”
“Exactly. I’m thinking they might be a good match.”
“What the hell is your game here?”
He smiled.
“Stop smiling.”
Tanner’s smile just grew. Like it did when he was up to no good.
“What’s wrong with your face?”
“I’m quite happy. And you will be too soon enough.”
I sighed and pushed away from the table. “Stop interfering with my life.”
“Trust me, I’m helping.”
“How is luring Kennedy to a dinner in the hopes that she’ll bang her ex-crush helping me?”
“You’re not thinking of the bigger picture,” he said. “I promise, I have it all under control.” He started smiling at me again.
I glared at him. “I’m going to bed.”
“But you barely touched your food,” Nigel said from behind me.
I jumped. I hadn’t seen him. Today he was actually doing a good job at blending into the wall. “It’s too spicy, man.”
A smile crept across his face. “I love it spicy.”
Okay. Nope.I’d had enough. “You’re both acting extra weird today,” I said.
“No we’re not,” they both said at the same time.
“Even that was weird. What the hell is going on? Everyone’s lost it. First Kennedy. Then Poppy. And now you two.”
“Maybe you need a bath…” Nigel started.
