Yes, but what also made sense was the little he’d picked to attach himself to. There was something sweet about Ian that made everyone gravitate toward him.
“Yes, of course it does.” Taking a second, I nudged his foot and smiled as my brain whirled. “What do you have planned for the cutie?”
Bishop took a deep breath and smiled, relief clear on his face as he charged right in. “I’m going to make him dinner, something fun of course, and I’m going to pick out some new coloring books and we’re going to watch a movie. I don’t know how little he goes, but I want to give him a chance to relax and play.”
I thought we’d both expected me to be a bit jealous. Talking about seeing other people was one thing but actually doing it was another…but this was Ian…and Bishop was so excited. I couldn’t be jealous of that.
Now, I could be jealous that I wasn’t going to get a fun dinner and watch cartoons, but I had a feeling I would hear about it later. Bishop wasn’t the type to keep things like their date…their evening together a secret, so as long as Ian didn’t mind, I had a feeling I would get all the cute details.
“I think that sounds like a great idea.” Grasping at some way to show him I wasn’t going to be weird about this, I had an idea. “Maybe we can figure out a fun dessert for you to bring over? Shaped cookies or something to surprise him with?”
His eyes widened and his whole face shone with excitement. “That’s a great idea.”
“What can I say?” I shrugged, giving him a flirty grin. “I’m a genius.”
Chuckling, he shook his head. “We could call it that, sure.”
Groaning, I clutched my chest dramatically. “Oh, I’m hurt.”
Wearing a teasing grin, he glanced down at the table and then back up at me. “Well, how about we head back to your place and I try to apologize?”
I wasn’t sure what he was thinking, but the flirty smile and the wicked glint in his eyes said I was going to enjoy the way he made it up to me.
“I think that sounds like a wonderful plan.” And it was going to be a wonderful evening.
As long as I didn’t overanalyze how I felt about his maybe date on Friday, sub and pup Bishop was clearly into me…but what did Daddy Bishop think of having a Dom?
Chapter 12
Bishop
“Okay, we’re good. We’re going to have fun tonight, and then on Friday, I’m going to see Ian. Cohen is good with that and it’s going to be fine.” No matter how many times I repeated the words, my stress level just kept rising.
So I did the only sensible thing…I called Wesley.
Thankfully, I already knew he wasn’t busy tonight, so I used the rental car's Bluetooth and called him, hoping he’d tell me I was right.
“What did you do?” His immediate response as he picked up the phone made me smile. “You’re supposed to be on a date.”
“I am.” Sighing, I focused on the road and tried to piece together my conversation with Cohen. “I’m driving over to Cohen’s place after having a wonderful dinner of entirely too much pasta.”
I was going to have to find a gym soon if I was actually going to stay. Running could only do so much and I liked food.
He chuckled but didn’t get sidetracked. “But…”
Taking a deep breath, I let it out slowly. “But I basically asked him what his intentions were and explained about my not quite date things with Ian on Friday.”
“You really did it?” Wesley’s words seemed to have gotten stuck in his throat because it took him a second before he could continue. “I mean, you said you were going to, but…”
“I know.” I could’ve put it all off, but that just wasn’t who I was. “I feel better in some regards.”
Barking out a laugh, Wesley huffed. “Stop talking like the first line in a book. Tell me what happened.”
Feeling lighter, I had to fight the urge to laugh. “Okay, we’re on the same page with wanting to see where things are going, and he said he’s not seeing anyone else right now.”
The sincere look on his face said he wasn’t lying about that either.
And the gossip was too strong at L and L for him to be dating anyone from that world without my having already figured it out.
“But…there’s a but.” Wesley’s nervous excitement had me giggling. “Stop that.”
I managed to stop. However, all I could hear was him saying but and that just made it even harder. “Okay, no more laughing.”
His scoff said he didn’t believe it, but I vowed to do my best…primarily because I was almost to Cohen’s house.
“I’m worried he wasn’t jealous of me seeing someone else.” Kind of. “Isn’t he supposed to be…controlling or something?”
