SEAL'd Perfection The Complete Collection: A Navy SEAL Romance (44 page)

She nodded, and then gestured to the menu lying on the table. “Anyways, that’s the breakfast menu, but if you want something from the lunch menu, I can usually sweet talk Benny, our cook.”

A teasing glint came to my eyes. “I bet.”

She reeled again, and I knew she was trying to find a way to sidestep my comment. After a moment, she excused herself and vanished. I stared down at the menu in her absence, but couldn’t focus on the items listed before me. My mind was absorbed with thoughts of Kat. She was different than I’d expected. The woman I’d seen from across the way had appeared so at ease and confident. I hadn’t expected her to be shy and hesitant. I was used to women throwing themselves at me with all kinds of insinuations, lines, and whispered promises.

Kat was different.

But then, that was why I’d moved. Wasn’t it? I wanted different. My old life was filled with easy, one nighters and I’d left that all behind. As attracted as I was to Kat, I was surprised to realize that wasn’t all I was interested in.

When she reappeared, I dialed back my innuendo.

“Anything look good?” she asked, her eyes glued to the order sheet in her hands. I stared at her, resisting the urge to say something dirty, and she caught me off guard. “On the menu?” She added—a barb of acid to her tone.

I held back a smirk at her first display of sauciness. “I’ll do the spinach and mushroom omelet.”

She nodded and wrote the order down. I studied her fingers as she wrote, and caught a glimpse of her left hand as she slipped the pad back into her apron. To my relief, it was bare. There wasn’t a wedding ring adorning her left index finger. “White or wheat?” She asked.

“Wheat.” I shrugged and handed her back the menu.

“Is there something else?” Her tone was still sharp and I chided myself, fearing I’d already come on too strong and drove her away.

I shook my head and she walked away to put in the order.

The rest of our interactions were short, clipped, and when I paid my check and left, I was sure I’d offended her—maybe even a few times. I made my way back across the street to my newly renovated tattoo shop and tried to lose myself in work, unpacking and setting everything up. I tried my damnedest to keep my mind on what I was doing, but it wandered back across the street every few minutes, and it was all I could do to stay focused and not barge back into the diner and ask her for a fresh start.

I reassured myself that I’d have more than enough time to show her I wasn’t some fucking scumbag.

I’d win her over in the end.
