investigators.”
    I laughed and pushed my hair behind my ear. “No stalking necessary. I was hoping this wasn’t just a hook-up for you, because this definitely isn’t my normal behavior. I generally get a guy’s name before I have subway sex with him.” I pursed my lips to hide a grin.
    Rivers chuckled. “Duly noted. And just so we’re clear, tonight isn’t my norm, either. Um…I’m gonna,” he pointed to the door, “go to the room across the hall and let you do whatever it is girls do in here. It must be different than us guys. We don’t have a chair and table with this smelly wood stuff on it.” He looked at the potpourri and made a face before he put it back on the table. He picked up the magazines and spread them out on the table like they’d been before we ransacked the place. “Okay, I’ll, uh, meet you at the table.”
    “Wait!” He looked at me over his shoulder. “Would you mind waiting in the hallway?”
    “Julia, I swear to you, I’m not going to ditch you.” His voice was so soft it made my heart skip a beat.
    I giggled. “That’s good to know. Thank you. But, actually, I’m more worried that we won’t have a table to go back to. We’ve been in here a long time.”
    “Huh. Never thought of that. Nah, it’ll be fine. My friend knows I wouldn’t have left a whole steak behind.” He winked and walked out the door.
    “That’s the ladies restroom,” a woman’s voice snapped at Rivers.
    “I know. A lady is still using it. She’ll be out momentarily.”
    Ugh. Really? He did not just say that.
    Smiling I used the restroom and cleaned up. An older lady with orange-red hair that could only come from a bottle because there was no way a color like that came from nature, gave me a scathing look when I walked out.
    She sniffed. “Hmm.”
    Rivers grabbed my hand and kissed the inside of my wrist. “Ready to eat? Jesse, my friend who owns the place, ordered us two new entrees since our others were somehow delivered to the wrong table.” He winked and smiled at me.
    “Oh, is that what happened?”
    “Mm-hmm.” Rivers stood in the aisle while I slid into the booth and scooted in behind me. “Okay, let’s play a game.”
    “A game? Hmm. That could be dangerous with you, I think.”
    “Nah, I’m harmless.”
    “Don’t believe him. Hi, I’m Jesse. You’re Julia, I’m guessing.” A blond man about my height held his hand out to shake mine. I place my hand in his, but instead of shaking it, he brought it to his mouth and let his lips linger on my skin a little longer than necessary. It made my skin crawl.
    Dude, I don’t even know you.  Wait…that’s weird. I never really thought about that with Rivers and I would’ve already been having sex with him by now.
    I pulled my hand from his and smiled. “You’d guess right.”
    “Well, I hope you two enjoy your dinner as much as you did my ladies’ room.” He grinned.
    “Actually, I found your ladies’ room a little overdone for my taste, but I did enjoy the person who was in the room with me.” I gave him a cool smile.
    If you meant to embarrass me, buddy, epic fail.
    He chuckled. “Touché.  Have a great night. Nice to meet you, Julia.”
    “Don’t mind him. He’s a douche.” Rivers dismissed Jesse and gave me all his attention.
    “I thought you were friends?”
    “Oh, we are. Guy’s just have a different friendship code than girls do.”
    “Okay. I’ll take your word on that. So, this game?”
    His eyes twinkled with a little mischief and a little excitement. “It’s easy. I say a word and you say the first word that pops into your head. Then I say the first thing that comes to mind when I hear your word and so on. I used to play this with my brother and cousins all the time when we were kids. I started using it as an ice-breaker on dates a few years ago.”
    “Okay. I’m game. Go ahead and start.” I angled my body toward him.
    “Remember, this is supposed to be a fast game. Say the first thing that
