CHAPTER TWENTY-NINE

THE NEXT time I saw Seye she was at my desk trying to convince me to go out with her and Danielle.

"I don't want to go," I replied for the umpteenth time.

My fingers flew across the screen as I typed my weekly report. Seye switched off my monitor and I paid all attention to her.

She smiled. "Why not? It's going to be fun."

"I don't want to go anywhere with either of you unless I have someone with me because I can't be the third wheel. I'm not settling for that."

This wasn't the first time she was inviting me out, and my answer was always the same. My gut told me she sensed there was some tension between I and kelvin. I guess this was her way of carrying me along so I'm not alone and bored.

"I could invite Kelvin but I think he's going to be out also," she slid in.

"Out where?" I asked before I could stop myself.

"You don't know?"

"Know what?"

"He has a date with one of Danielle's friends. She's worried he's alone by himself, so she's trying to set him up."
