Tommy like stared at his phone, waiting with bated breath for her response. After all, he thought she was cute, especially when she looked like his dead puppy…
Instead of Snapchatting back to ^URSunPC&proud…the fucking stupidest name anyone had ever used to Snapchat…Imogene looked up at him and stared. Probably hadn’t factored in peripheral vision and figured he was too busy on his phone to notice. Fuck! She was researching whether or not he was cute before answering the question! Tommy tried to look busy on his phone, using the lull in their conversation to tweak the hack he’d gotten from his new storage unit that allowed him to masquerade as her Snapchat buddy. But he almost blew it and fucking snapped the connection because what he was really concentrating on was looking cute.
He shifted his weight, nonchalantly showing off the tight jeans he thought were important, but…if his peripheral vision was accurate…she was looking at his face. What the fuck could he do about that? He stiffened his jaw. No…wanted to look tough but not belligerent. He licked his lips. Fuck no! Too obvious! He gave the phone he was still staring at what he thought was a soulful look…but maybe it just looked ridiculous, looking at a fucking phone like that. He remembered an old movie, James Dean, and ran his fingers through his hair, real slow. Squared his shoulders. Flexed a few muscles here and there. Finally he pulled out all the stops and looked up from his phone, trying to rivet her with his eyes.
She finally looked down.
Now what he saw on his phone in his peripheral vision was that she had, at fucking last, answered the question.
But just then, before he could even dart a look at the answer, someone else locked eyes with him.
It was the nurse, standing at the door, who’d almost fired him.
