“Of course. I’m happy to meet you. It’s been a pretty long while…” I replied as I took my seat opposite her.
“Should we order?” She asked sweetly and I nodded.
She pressed the button to call the waitress and soon our orders were being taken. Truth be told, I had no interest in the little afternoon tea treats or the food, I just wanted to know why she called me out here today...and if there was something wrong with Zak.
Annie and I made small talk until our food arrived. I sipped on my peppermint tea as I wondered when she would just get to it. Perhaps, I should just ask her?
“Annie. It’s rare for you to meet up with me, is something the matter?” I asked, sounding concerned.
I watched as she placed her teacup down and looked straight at me.
“Are you aware of how Zak feels about you?” Annie asked, catching me off guard.
I did not expect that question from her. I narrowed my eyes suspiciously at her.
“It depends on what you’re referring to,” I replied curtly.
