“So, do you agree with me now about the universe?”
I thought back to yesterday and laughed. “I don’t know. Maybe I just keep running into you because the universe is trying to piss me off.”
“Look, I’m sorry about yesterday. I was sort of a prick.”
“No sort of about it.” I took another sip of chocolate, feeling more and more human by the minute, and secretly thrilled to be sitting there next to Hunter. I glanced at him out of the corner of my eye.
He didn’t catch me looking as he stretched out his long legs. “I know. There’s no excuse for it, but, well, I’ve had bad experiences with college travelers.”
“That’s no reason to judge me. You don’t even know me.”
“Believe me, I’ve had plenty of time to test my theory. You’re the first kid I’ve met who doesn’t seem like a total ass.”
“Kid?” I raised an eyebrow. “I’m twenty, thank you very much.”
Hunter shrugged. “I’m twenty-five. Twenty seems pretty young.”
I narrowed my eyes. “You were twenty, once.”
“Yeah, and I was a pretty stupid kid.” He exhaled and took a drink of hot chocolate. For a moment neither of us spoke.
Finally, Hunter sighed. “Look, I don’t mean to keep pissing you off, but it seems like every time I open my mouth, you want to kill me. I like running into you, and I wasn’t kidding about the universe. I think there’s a reason we keep bumping into each other.”
His words made my pulse race. “You do?”
“Yeah. Don’t you?”
God, he was cute when he let his arrogance drop for a minute. I sipped my hot chocolate, thinking. Maybe he was right. Maybe there was a reason we kept bumping into each other. I glanced at him again, studying his profile. His stubble had darkened a bit since yesterday, and his dark eyes reflected the Parisian clouds. Was there a reason we kept running into each other? I swallowed nervously. “Maybe.”
He grinned, his arrogance restored. “Then we shouldn’t waste a gift from the universe.”
I chewed in silence for a minute. “You’re just so rude most of the time. Which is what I don’t get.”
His dark eyes met mine. “I’m not trying to be rude.”
“Then what are you trying to be?”
He paused, searching my eyes, and tension crackled between us. “Nice,” he finally said with a sexy smile. “I’m trying to be nice.”
I wanted to look away, but my eyes were locked on his. “You’ll have to try harder.”
He smiled widely and leaned a little bit closer to me.
Oh my God, was he going to kiss me? Part of me wanted to kick him, but part of me desperately wanted to know what his lips would feel like against mine. I leaned forward slightly, and Hunter’s smile widened.
“Is this nice enough?” His breath tickled my skin, and I suppressed a giddy shiver.
Any minute now. Any minute now, our lips would touch. I nodded, not sure if I was answering his question or giving him permission.
