Julia walked up to the table. “What can I get the two of you to drink?”
“I’ll have water, please,” Sophia replied.
“Same for me, Julia.”
“Do you need a few more minutes to look at the menu?”
“I know what I want,” Sophia stated.
“Are you sure? After Nate came over, I wasn’t sure if you had a chance to look at the menu at all.”
She nodded. “I’ve eaten here before and loved the turkey and pesto sandwich.”
Julia smiled. “Good choice. Josh?”
“I’ll take the Italian, please.”
“Two glasses of water, a turkey pesto and an Italian.”
Smiling, I handed her my menu. “Sounds great.” Julia walked off, and I turned my attention back to Sophia.
“You’re not upset about what I said to Nate, are you?”
“Not at all.”
“Sometimes things come out of my mouth before I have a chance to think. I want you to know I would never discuss your life with anyone else.”
I raised a brow. “Not even Chloe?”
She chewed on her lower lip.
Deciding to put her out of her misery, I said, “She’s your best friend, Soph. If you trust her, then so do I.”
Reaching across the table, Sophia took my hand in hers. “Are you real?”
“I’m pretty sure I am. But you could pinch me if you want to.”
Her eyes turned dark. “I’d rather kiss you again.”
Leaning in, I softly said, “I think I can arrange that.”
Chapter Fifteen
SOPHIA
After an amazing lunch, Josh and I walked down Main Street and popped in and out of a few places. The day had been fantastic, and I didn’t want it to end anytime soon. The spell of simply being with him was something I wasn’t ready to break.
“How about we head back to my place? I have to work tomorrow, but we can still spend the rest of the day together. I can even cook you dinner.”
Smiling, I looked up at him. “You cook as well? You really are a woman’s dream man, aren’t you?”
Josh laughed. “I don’t know about that. Do you have to teach tomorrow?”
I thought about the day, Sunday. “No, I don’t have classes until Monday.”
A wickedly handsome smile appeared on his face. “Stay the night with me then?”
My heart started to hammer in my chest and my cheeks started to warm with the idea of simply lying next to this man all night, feeling the heat of his body against mine.
