“If you ask ive Maverick another chance”

I laugh and grab the bag of delicious-s food out of his hand “Come on in I just need to cancel my Uber, then we can dish up”

Brody walks intodrawers until he finds the one he wants Pulling out two pairs of chopsticks he says, “Go put the et this Do you want the broccoli beef or Kung Pao chicken?”

I can’t fight my s to ask “Kung Pao for the win, baby”

He returns e “Movie Couch Nooman”

I head over to the DVD player and pop the movie in “Okay, bossy pants”

We settle into the couch and dig into our respective cardboard containers of MSG-laden goodness I’ll ad here with Brody, doing so Maybe it’s because we’ve known each other for so long, so there’s none of the first date aardness that you’d expect Not that this is a date, of course We’re just two friends hanging out and enjoying ato have sex afterwards Not date-ish at all

I honestly expected Brody to jump me the second we cale pass at le innuendo, which is very out of character Has he changed his ht? He wouldn’t be here if he didn’t want to have sex with me I study him as the credits roll and he looks perfectly relaxed My brows furrow in confusion as I try figuring out what’s next

Brody reaches over to run his index finger over the crease betweenon in that head of yours?”

“Have you changed your mind?” Damn it, I can’t stand how insecure I sound

He blinks rapidly “Why the hell would I do that?”

I gesture to the two feet of space in between us “Because you’ve been sitting on the other end of the couch all night And you haven’t cracked a single dirty joke or tried feeling me up”

“Relax, Rainey I know you’re dying to get in s” He lets out a large gasp and presses his hand against his chest “Wait a ? Should I be worried? Oh my God, you are, aren’t you?”

I roll my eyes at his theatrics “You think you’re pretty funny, don’t you?”

He scoots closer and lifts ed your mind?”
