Part 59 (2/2)

”Maybe we should!” he said, hands on his hips.

”Why are you saying that all defiantly? I'm agreeing with you,” I laughed, poking him in the ribs.

”I don't know. You get my blood all boiled up.” He pulled me close by the waist and kissed me deeply until Kevin began cat-calling us from behind the bar.

”Back to work, you f.u.c.kin' horn dogs!” Kevin laughed. ”If I don't get any, neither do you!”

Noah and I laughed as we parted, and I hopped off the stage to go check on the sign workers. They were still on track, and the sign already improved the curb appeal of the club. I gave them a thumbs up and returned inside, but the room was empty.

”Hey, Noah, I had this idea,” I said as I came around the corner to the back room.

I found Noah and Kevin huddled up near the sink, looking down at something Noah was holding in his hand. Something small, and something glittery. It was only a split second before they realized I was in the room, and Noah scrambled to shove his hands in his pockets while Kevin made a surprised noise and waved his towel around.

They stared at me like deer caught in headlights, not even bothering to try and explain their strange behavior. I looked to one, and then the other, my smile growing as I waited and waited for one of them to try and cover.

”You guys are... really bad at this,” I laughed.

Noah's face twisted in a playful glare. Kevin started huffing and walked past me, slapping me a few times with the towel. ”Hey, why don't you mind your own business?”

Noah followed him, walking up close to me. He leaned down and in heated whisper said, ”Yeah, why don't you mind your own business, babe?”

”Why don't you make me?”

Noah smiled and gave an evil little laugh before he dropped a kiss on my forehead and moved past me into the bar.

As I watched him go with a smile, I wondered if he realized it didn't take an investigative journalist to figure out what a ring box in the pocket of a pair of jeans looks like.
