“The steak’s just meh; I can’t finish it.” Jocelyn pushed the steak towards Melvin again, “You’ve burned a ton of calories. today. You better load up.”
Melvin gave her a loaded glance as she flipped her hair and touched her neck, revealing a very noticeable love bite on her fair skin.
To Melvin, this little ploy was neither here nor there. She was probably just a tad jealous of his interactions with Willow.
“Is this your way of beefing me up?” Melvin played along, glancing at the plate she pushed over. The steak had barely been touched.
Jocelyn flashed him a smile, “Yeah. It’s gonna be a long night, and I’m worried you won’t last if you don’t eat up.”
She felt a bit sheepish saying that kind of thing in front of others.
But seeing Willow’s face turn sour was a pretty nice bonus.
Willow was all bark and no bite when it came to facing her.
Melvin lifted an eyebrow, taking in Jocelyn’s slightly staged demeanor. He cut up her steak and finished it off.
Their little exchange had Willow on pins and needles.
“So? Are you gonna invite them?” Willow switched the topic abruptly.
“Sure,” Melvin said.
With a smile, Willow whipped out her phone, “I’ll drop a message in the group chat.”
Melvin didn’t respond.
[Hey, you guys free tonight? I’m meeting up with Melvin for drinks. You in?] Willow sent a voice message.
She didn’t mention Jocelyn.
Sipping her water, Jocelyn kept a watchful eye on Melvin from the corner of her eye as he polished off both steaks.
“They’ve sent a location in the group, Willow reminded Melvin.
Jocelyn caught the subtext in Willow’s words. They had a small group chat, just the four of them.
Melvin checked his phone and then called the waiter over to pay the bill.
“You’ve had a drink, so ride with me, Willow said. “My assistant’s driving.”
Melvin glanced at Jocelyn, who was also looking at him.
“Let’s book a ride.”
