She jerked at the sound, a harsh involuntary startle that knocked over her cup, spreading ice and faintly soda laced water across the table. \u201cFuck,\u201d she snapped, equally involuntarily, and grabbed for the paper cup, sending several bits of ice skittering across to land in his lap.<\/small><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0Jolted into paying attention by the sudden cool sensation
\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>on his thighs and the obvious mess that had become the
\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>table, the word left his mouth almost as a hiss. He was not
\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>at all happy with the situation, and he had good reason to
\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>be. He held the book aloft with one hand to keep it out of
\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>the spilled liquid\u2019s reach and quickly removed the cubes
\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>of ice from where they had begun to melt into his jeans.
\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>Once they had been placed on the table, he too reached
\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>for the napkins, hoping to speed up the cleaning process.
\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>One of the employees must have seen the commotion and
\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>with three people sopping up the mess, it was gone relatively
\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>quickly. That was when Isaac glanced down to see what
\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>remained of his meal had become far less\u00a0appetizing\u00a0as
\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0<\/span>a result of droplets of her drink pooling around it.<\/span><\/span><\/small><\/p>\n

Summer dropped back down into the seat, put her head down on the table, and just gave up. There was a piece of ice melting under her ass, she could feel it; she was wet in random spots; and she’d just managed to look a complete fool in front of someone who still hated her.<\/p>\n

“Can you laugh at me or something?” she mumbled. “I don’t even know how to \/be\/ around you or anything.” She lifted her head up to look at him, and a trickle of cold water ran down her nose. It took about two seconds of crossing her eyes upward to discover that a piece of ice had frozen itself to her hair.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
