“That and the half-bottle of Chardonnay waiting in the door of my fridge.”
“That’s depressing,” he said, getting up. He offered me his strong, rough hand and I clasped it. With a gentle yank, I was on my feet. “You ready for me to add insult to injury then?” He wet his lips and tilted his head.
“Oh, God. I don’t even care about the bill. Just tell them to send it to me.” I smoothed the front of my skirt and dusted off my rear.
“It’s not that.” Ben cleared his throat.
I scanned my car for a scratch or dent.
He continued, “I’m really sorry, but I ate one of the cupcakes.”
I darted my eyes back to him and he hunched as if waiting to be smacked.
“You eat cupcakes?” I leaned back a little. Whatever moment sugar had spent on his lips, it was not spending a lifetime on his hips. Bastard.
“It’s my cheat day. And those damn things were next to me in the car all day. Staring at me. Taunting me. Like, ‘Ben, you know you want me.’” He wiggled his fingers. “Then you were late, and, well…I made some kind of weird justification that I could have one. I’m really sorry.”
“You ate one of my daughter’s pink frosted cupcakes?” I planted my hands on my hips.
Ben nodded with a clenched jaw.
“You’re a fucking unicorn.” I picked up my bag, tossed it in the back and climbed into the car.
With the seat belt fastened, I reached for the door, but he held on to it stopping me from closing.
He blinked hard. “Did you and your potty mouth just call me a unicorn?”
“We did.” I smiled at the mythical man candy creature, shut the door and drove out of the enchanted forest.
