"I'm ready to go home," Meg says. "I can call a cab."

"No." Kara shakes her head. "I can drive."

Not like this she can't.

I let them get the wholeNo, I'll drive; no you're drunk tooout of the way, then I step in.

"I can drive you two home," I say.

Drew glares.

I stare back at him. "You'd do the same."

He nods and settles back into his seat. He shoots me thatTouch her and you dielook again.

Please.

I'm not about to touch the woman my best friend is lusting after.

But Meg...

Well, I don't take orders from anyone. Certainly not from Drew.

I turn to Kara. "Your keys?"

She pulls them from her purse. "It's a manual."

I smirk. "That's fine. I know how to handle my stick."

CHAPTER SIX

––––––––

Kara is napping in the back seat.

It's just me and Meg.

And the way she stammers and turns red when she's nervous.

Her eyes catch mine, and her blush deepens.

She's picturing me naked.

"Should be twenty minutes," I say.

She nods.

"Anything else you want to discuss?"

She clears her throat. Her fingers trail over the hem of her skirt. "I'm not sure what you mean."

Bullshit. But I'll ease her into that. "Yes, you are."

Her voice is clipped. "Kara is my closest friend. I don't know about you and Drew, or if you'll be in L.A. for a while or on the road soon. But I figure you and I are mutual friends."

I nod. That's fair.

"So how about we agree to never discuss this again?" she asks.
