"Oh shoot, I should thank him." I took out my phone, immediately typing.
Avery: Sam, I just found out you spoke with the coffee shop this morning. Thank you so much. Everything was delicious.
He answered a few minutes later.
Sam: You're welcome. Are you on your break?
Avery: Yeah.
He called me the next second. I shimmied in my seat, blushing.
"Go on, take that," Alana said in a playful tone.
I raised my hand at her, shaking my head. But she was right. I couldn't just ignore it. It would be rude.
I answered, sinking into my armchair.
"Hey, I'm glad you liked everything."
"I did. They brought some of my favorite things."
"I asked them to read me the menu, and I pointed out stuff I knew you'd like."
"Oh, Sam." I was stunned.
"Couldn't let you starve, could I? Actually, I think it’s a great idea that you’re working at coffee shops. I can't get anyone to feed you at home when I'm not there. It's easier when you're someplace that serves food, and the staff there was more than willing."
"You can't open a tab everywhere."
"Yes, I can."Holy shit, he sounds serious."How was your day?"
"It was very productive. Now I'm ready to catch up with Alana."
"She's there right now?"
"Yes," I said.
"Then I can't break out the bedroom talk."
I gasped. I was sure my cheeks were so red, you could see them from the moon.
"Sam," I whispered.
"Are you blushing?"
"I think I am."
"So that means she knows what I'm saying anyway."
Alana was looking at me with a smug smile.
"I'm going to the bathroom," she said loud enough for Sam to hear.
"And now she's giving us space. I've always liked her," he said.
I licked my lips. "Why would you want to talk dirty now anyway?"
"Because I know how it affects you. I like knowing you're blushing for me. That you're somewhere in this city, and just because you're with me on the phone, your pulse quickens and you're wet."
