Page 15 of Knox
"Yes?" I kept my face straight, hoping he couldn't tell I was checking out his ass.
"After rehearsal tonight, maybe I could buy your supper?" His eyebrows rose, and he tapped his thumb on his thigh again. I did make him nervous.
"I'd like that." I smiled. "See you at four."
"Later."
I closed the door and grinned as Knox let out a small whoop. His shadow moved under the door, as if he were doing some sort of victory dance.
Maybe he did like me.
Chapter 9
Still Adjusting
Itook the golf cart back to the barn to leave it for Ian, but he hurried out to me and sat down in the passenger seat.
"I'm freezing. The new boys are working now." He patted the dash. "Go home. You can set them up tomorrow."
I backed up and turned toward the house again. "Did that. Colin left the info in the office. Just have the deliveries in the morning for Wallace's horses. Knox will start in the morning."
"That works," Ian nodded. "How are you with him working here?"
"Um, okay. If we go out for supper, is that weird?"
"You and Knox? Not at all."
"It's not too fast?" I whispered.
Ian laughed softly. "Do you think Finn and I went too fast?"
"No, he's your Miann Cridhe. I want that," I sighed. "Thought it was Jasper, but he was just waiting for someone better to come along."
"Josh, don't take on Jasper's fuck-ups. Lana said Jasper told her you'd fight for him. You didn't. Think about that."
I frowned. "I was too shocked to think straight."
"Hmm." Ian arched a brow. "Did you want to fight for him?"
"It never crossed my mind in the moment. But now, I've had a date with Knox." Didn't want to tell him about KnightTimeDanc3r.
"And what did you discover?" Ian asked.
"That Jasper and I didn't fit." I parked in the bay that time and waited for the bay door to close. "I need to shower and get Knox a key made before rehearsal. He's riding with me."
Ian set one booted foot on the concrete and paused. "Josh, not everyone we love is our forever. It hurts when we discover it just won't work. But, looking back will never bring us happiness."
"So, it's okay to move on," I murmured.
"It's okay to move on. And you will find your Miann Cridhe." He smiled.
The door to the house opened, and Finn stood there dressed in joggers and a hoodie. "Hey, baby. Lunch?"
"And a hot shower," Ian said as he left me.
"Oh, I gave Knox a house key, Josh," Finn said as Ian stopped in front of him.
"Thanks," I nodded, still thinking about what Ian said.
