“Sounds good. I’ll be happy to have the company.”
“I bet you would, but don’t worry, she will be very happy with me.”
“You know I’m standing here, right?”
Cam kissed her softly on the lips. “I’d never forget something like that.”
“Now that’s settled. How about some food. I don’t know about you, but Cam and I are starving.”
Before he could agree with Rafe his stomach growled loud enough for all of them to hear.
“We have some leftover pizza, eggs, or we can go out.”
“I vote for out. I don’t think I can even look at another slice of pizza after last night,” Chrissy said. Miranda nodded in agreement and Cam wondered if she’d tell him what this girl’s night thing had entailed.
“How about the Ice House? They have just about everything,” Rafe recommended. It was one of their favorites with excellent food and large servings. It was their first choice when they weren’t going out to drink.
“That works for me. Miranda, is it okay with you?”
“Yup, it sounds good. I wasn’t a fan of more pizza right now either.”
“Maybe I should just head home. I feel like a fifth wheel.”
“No way.”
“How about I give Ryan a call? I’m sure he’d be up for joining us,” Rafe said and pulled out his phone. Cam knew already that Ryan would be interested. He hadn’t said much but it was obvious to the guys that he was interested in Chrissy. Rafe might know why he’d been holding back since they were close, but the rest of them didn’t have a clue.
“Umm, you don’t have to…”
“I know, but he’s just as hungry as we are. If he doesn’t want to come he won’t.”
The women exchanged a strange look and Cam would have to ask Miranda about it later. Chrissy was up to her usual something or other. He thought she might be interested in Ryan, but from the way she was acting, he could have been wrong.
Before anyone could say anything else, Ryan must have picked up the phone.
“Hey, bro, we’re heading over to the Ice House. Want to come?” They could hear Rafe’s side of the conversation, but Cam had a pretty good idea what Ryan was saying.
“No, just the women, me and Cam.”
“Maybe fifteen minutes, give or take. You know how women are.” That earned Rafe an elbow in the side hard enough to make him grunt and Cam chuckled. Meghan lived up to her spitfire nickname and then some. She was something else. As much as he thought she was amazing, he was glad that Miranda was softer and sweeter. He supposed that could change if she continued to hang out with the trouble twins.
“Perfect, see you there.” Rafe disconnected the call. “Okay, you heard me, we’re out the door in fifteen so go do whatever you need to.”
“Who says we need to do anything?” Meghan asked with her hands on her hips.
“Umm, no one. Just wanted to give you the option.”
“Good thing or you might have found yourself sleeping in the recently vacated guest room.”
Cam couldn’t hold back his snort at the chagrin on Rafe’s face. He’d barely extricated himself from that mess. And having learned from his friend’s faux pas, he wasn’t going to put his foot in his mouth.
“You look perfect already. Do you need to grab anything before we go?” He thought he was so suave until Rafe hit him in the back of the head.
“You trying to show me up, kid?”
“Maybe,” Cam said with a huge grin. Not for getting back at Rafe but for the huge smile he’d earned from Miranda. It was like standing in the sunshine, and he’d never get enough of it.
“I wish you hadn’t invited Ryan,” Chrissy said, as she grabbed her purse.
