Sweet Spot (2014)
““Fuck.” At least it hadn’t gone on my dress, or Nadia’s for that matter—that wouldn’t have been a very good way to chat her up.
Raising her eyebrows, Nadia said, “Was that a curse or an offer?”
Clearly I hadn’t had enough to drink, as instead of coming back with a wickedly sassy response I stuttered and gibbered utter nonsense at her until she cut me off.
“I’m just kidding with you, sweetheart. Want another drink?
What is it?”
“Vodka and Coke.”
“Coming right up.”
With that, she turned on her heel and headed toward the bar, leaving me gaping like a fish in her wake. Attractive. Bloody nerves. I hadn’t even asked her how she was feeling about her defeat. Though of course if I did I’d word it better than that. Hopefully. Actually I’d only said four words since she’d arrived and none of them had been particularly meaningful, so surely it couldn’t get any worse?
Taking a couple of healthy gulps of the drink in my hand, I hoped the booze would kick in soon and give me just enough of a buzz ...to loosen my tongue.MoreLess
