"You're not going to give it to some company trying to sell me a car warranty, are you?"
She laughed. "No, just thought I would need it if we get separated tonight so I can text you things likethe guy with the meatballs is following me, please help."
"That sounds delicious. I would totally help you with that." Violet smiled at him and he couldn't help but be smitten. "Alright, give me your number."
She rattled off her digits and he had to do everything in his power to go along with her as her phone was lighting up her cleavage in the darkened car and it was distracting.
Then he heard her phone ring, the screen brightening, her breasts bathed in light, and...
"Is that the Game of Thrones theme song?"
"Maybe," she answered demurely as he pressed some buttons to save his number in her phone.
"OK, favorite character?"
She turned and gave him a confused look. "Are you trying to test my Game of Thrones knowledge?"
Parer shrugged. He didn't mean to make it seem like he was flirting with her, but Violet's eyes went a little bigger, a smile pulled at the corners of her mouth.
But so what? So what if he was flirting with her? She was gorgeous and liked Game of Thrones and had actually agreed to go on this date with her.
And he was walking her into a trap.
Parker could feel his smile fade, and it must've been obvious to Violet too by the way she looked at him and turned back to her phone.
He had to tell her about Katherine before they got there. He couldn't just walk her in without knowing anything. She would come up to him to ask questions and check out Violet. It would be inevitable.
"So about tonight--"
Violet took a deep breath and turned with a plastered smile on her face. "It's going to be fun."
"Um, yeah, I guess." He didn't like this not-so-flirty thing after all. "So my ex is going to be there with her new boyfriend. And I'm not using you or anything. I really did have an extra ticket and it seemed like we could have a fun time. It's just..." He took another breath. "My ex is going to be there."
That small smile returned and Parker couldn't help but feel a little relieved. Maybe they could make this work. Maybe she wasn't totally turned off by him after all.
"Can I be honest with you then?"
Well, now this was either going to be something good or something bad. He knew that because he actually heard that line before from a woman. But a woman telling Parker she wanted to go out with him to see if his dick was proportional to the rest ofhis body wasn't as much of a turn-on as men would expect it to be for him. He had heard it before. It was nothing new.
"The only reason I agreed to go with you tonight was because you said The Cheshire Cat was gorgeous inside."
Huh. Well, that wasn't what he expected. Sure, it's a nice place and he could totally see a woman wanting to go there for the food and the cook cocktails they make.
"So you have a thing for sleek bars?"
She smiled and shook her head. "I have a thing for guys who like my sleek bars."
He still wasn't following and that must've been obvious by the way he was looking at her now. But Violet's smile seemed to grow wider as if she was about to spring something strange and new on him. It was turning him on in a way that was getting embarrassing in the back of this SUV with a chauffeur up front.
Violet leaned back and bit her lip for just a moment in a sultry way that made the predicament in his pants even worse.
"I designed the three bars at The Cheshire Cat."
"Designed how?"
She laughed. "I'm an interior designer. I work on restaurant interiors."
Well, that was new and not what he expected and... Wow. That was impressive. He had been there one time before for a teammate's birthday party and everyone had raved about it. The place was just cool and there were a few players who were even whining about doing the charity event tonight until they heard it was at The Cheshire Cat. There were plenty of takers after that.
