Chapter 20

When nothing occurred for another half an hour, he started to relax. He figured Joshua had given up whatever half-baked, naughty ideas he wanted to play on Calvin. Then Turner approached their table for what was probably the twentieth time over the last hour. James almost choked in amusement when David spoke up all of a sudden.

“Turner, you should grab a chair and sit next to Calvin. He’s all by his lonesome at the far end of our table. I would love to hear all about how you came to open this restaurant. Or you can simply keep Calvin company.”

Calvin blushed and narrowed his eyes at David before giving a Turner an apologetic smile. “You don’t have to listen to Dave. He’s a nosy, insensitive asshole.”

Turner’s cheeks were just as red as Calvin’s, but he shook his head. “I don’t mind. It will be fantastic to join you all if you’re sure you don’t mind having me at the table.”

Javier smirked at Calvin, obviously understanding what was going down. “Not at all. The more the merrier.”
