I set my phone face down on the counter. Lose myself in replying to the shop's emails. Try to avoid watching Hunter work.
Fail.
Eventually, I finish work. Switch to studying. Then to watching his final client.
This time, it's a cute guy getting something on his bicep.
They finish.
I flirt through check out.
Hunter stares without comment.
Then he stretches his arms over his head with a sigh. "You heading home?"
"No." All right. This is it. Time to start fighting fire with fire. "We're going to the gym."
"We'regoing to the gym?"
"Yeah."
He stares back at mewhat the hell?
"You were right. You're just looking out for me. I shouldn't fight you."
He arches a brow.
"I'm going to do the same. Like Brendon asked." I slide my textbook into my backpack and pull the zipper shut. "You're babysitting me."
"Yeah."
"Well, I'm babysitting you too."
