His brows shot up. “Arealdate?”
“Wow, so you told himeverything,” Sophia stated, sitting back in the booth with a grin.
Rubbing my hand against the back of my neck, I turned to Nathan. “Get out of here, Nate.”
He laughed. The assholelaughedat me. “Come on, Josh, don’t be that way.”
“How would you like me to interrupt you on a date?”
He frowned. “When have you ever seen me go on adate?”
Sighing, I focused back on Sophia. “He’s right. He should meet Chloe.”
Her brows rose. “Ohhhh…I see.”
“Wait, what does that mean?” Nathan asked.
Sophia leaned in some and lowered her voice. “Chloe doesn’t go on dates, either. She’s more of an, um…tap-that-shit-and-leave type. Her words, not mine.”
Nathan sat back. “I think I would definitely like to meet Chloe.”
“I’m sure you would, but no,” I stated. “What you can do is make yourself scarce.”
Nathan placed a hand over his heart and said, “Dude, I can’t believe you’re pushing me away like this. This is monumental.”
“Me being on a date?” I asked.
He winked, and I knew what he was getting at.
“Nate—please leave.”
“Is it monumental because he’s a virgin?”
Nathan and I both snapped our heads around and stared at Sophia. She’d at least kept her voice nice and low when asking her question.
Before I could say anything, Nathan started to cough. On what, I had no idea.
“Sorry,” Sophia said, her cheeks flushed. “I just didn’t feel like watching him tease you and beat around the bush like he knew something I didn’t.”
I blinked at her a few times.
“Jesus…I think I just fell in love with this girl,” Nathan said with a laugh.
Sophia grinned as she tilted her head in the most adorable way. I couldn’t help but smile back at her as Nathan simply sat there, looking between us.
“Okay, well, it looks like you two would like to be alone.”
Glancing at my cousin, I replied sarcastically, “You finally got that, huh?”
He slid out of the booth and smiled once more at Sophia. “Sophia, it truly is great to finally meet you.”
“You as well, Nate.”
With a tip of his baseball cap, Nathan turned and went back to his own table. I felt my entire body relax after he left.
“I hope you don’t mind that I just nipped that in the bud.”
I shook my head. “Not at all. I don’t think I’ve ever seen him that surprised before.”
