Chapter 15

　　I put down my fork, cover my face with my hands, and shake my head.

　　“And you said I’m a hot tease,” he adds.

　　Oh, my God! I’m going home.

　　He laughs at my reactions.

　　“I didn’t say those things. Tell me you’re kidding, Phoenix.” I glare at him.

　　He shrugs. “I wish I can say that.”

　　I dramatically slump my back to the chair. “I swear I won’t drink again.” Then I restart eating.

　　“You can drink as you like for as long as I’m with you or you trust someone with you. I can be your DD all the time, and your secret is safe with me.” He winks. “Don’t worry I was not a peeping tom last night. I swear I just changed you into my shirt.” He raises his hand up.

　　“Thank you.”

　　After we’re done with breakfast, I help him clean up the table and wander around his kitchen while he places the dishes into the dishwasher. He tours me around his house, and we end up at his patio.
