Lexi snorts at s to drink there that don't have caffeine in them"

Huh? Learn so new

"Okay, how about we do this, since I a to practice later and later," I tell her as I take onefeet buive o out"

She looks up at iven the proximity of our bodies to each other Lexi doesn't back down or attempt to lean back, and instead tilts her chin up "You're awful pushy"

"When I see so I want," I concede in a low voice, and there's no

"And you wanther head to the side

"Given how close I' to you, would you kick s have stopped swinging and I inch in a little closer, which hasalmost directly down at her as her head cranes back to look at me

"I admire honesty," she murmurs so softly in that sexy, husky voice that seeht down to my dick I'm fascinated that the blue in her eyes has now constricted so tightly I see nothing but the silvery gray with tiny flecks of gold in thee to put my mouth on hers to see what she does

"Sykora" I hear a terse female voice behind nize it's froo"

I straighten up and turn slowly to face Gray, but not before glancing at Lexi Oddly, she's also straightened up on the table and her back is ramrod, her face a little pale and tense My instinct is to ask her what's wrong, but it's probably er of my team and kiss her ass over yet another infraction

"He was helping me with my contact," Lexi blurts out fro to stand beside me I don't dare look down at her, but rather watch as Gray's eyes slide froot stuck, and I couldn't get it out"

It's a blatant lie, as I washer with her contact, and I knoithout a doubt she doesn't wear the up close and personal into those gorgeous eyes I figure Gray knows it's a lie too, as Lexi's eyes are clear and without irritation, and besides thatLexi's voice was shaking as she told that whopper of a story to cover my ass

Gray's eyes cut froet up to practice I also suggest you don't forget our talk from the other day"

And thus ison thin ice with Gray--no pun intended--and I need to try to keepLexi's nuht now evaporates, because on the off chance Gray fell for her lie aboutout with her contact, I can't di her in on the fact I was really asking for a date

So Iyou Hope your eye feels better"

I can see the a in her eyes, but she very sole you too, Mr Sykora"

I nod slightly to Gray, then push past her to head back to h when I hear Gray say to Lexi in a voice that sounds chilly, "I'o back up to his office for so We'll meet him up in the executive suite"

Definitely chilly Maybe even icy, and it makes me wonder what their relationship is I'm even more perplexed when I hear Lexi say just as I reach my locker, "It's really nice to finally meet you, Gray"

This shocks me, as I just assumed they knew each other, since Lexi ith Gray's father earlier I also assumed this because Gray's first words to Lexi were not a for, which also implied they knew each other The fact that Lexi just introduced herself to Gray is really weird, and ets the better of me I turn back around to look at the tomen

Lexi's hand is outstretched toward Gray with an al look on her face Gray's back is to me, so I have no clue what her expression looks like, but she doesn't make a move to shake Lexi's hand, and there's no doubt it's an aard moment

Finally, she raises her arm stiffly and wordlessly offers a very hard, brisk shake to Lexi Gray then turns toward the door, now facingbut uncertainty and confusion on her face, two emotions I would have bet were not a part of her repertoire

It appears she's being very guarded with Lexi and I have to wonder why Just in , fun, and free-spirited, which makes it sort of hard to hold yourself in reserve with a person like that

It's a good thing I knohere Lexi works, and an even better thing I don't have any plans tonight Ithere I can drink, and perhaps get a few minutes with her and ask for her phone nuo out
