“I hope I’m not disturbing you,” she said, noticing the magazine on his lap.
“Are you kidding? I’m doing whatever I can to keep myself entertained.” He lifted the magazine to show her the cover.
He read one of her subscriptions, a publication geared for women. She stifled a giggle. “Learn anything?”
“Oh, sure. The hottest hairstyles. How to find Mr. Right. Fall makeup, the best and worst new colors.”
“Is that all we had around here for you to read?”
“No. Amy offered me a book about Buffy the Vampire Slayer.”
Lourdes enjoyed the humor in his voice, the boyish smile tilting his lips. She sat on the edge of his bed and placed her shopping bags on the nightstand. “What an education you’re getting.”
“Yeah. The twins took pity on me and handed over their Dr. Seuss collection. And now I’m dying for a plate of green eggs and ham.”
“This is torture for you, isn’t it? Being under Cáco’s lock and key?”
Juan tossed the magazine onto the bed. “She means well.” He motioned to the nightstand. “Looks like you went shopping.”
“Yes.”
“Any reading material in those packages? The latest issue of Sports Illustrated? Or maybe a nice, fresh copy of Playboy? Something a guy can sink his teeth into.”
“Very funny. And Playboy isn’t reading material.”
“It is, too.”
“It is not.” She assessed his flirtatious smile, his waggling eyebrows. He looked downright dastardly, with his dark hair and dark bruises.
Lourdes reached for the bags. “I bought you some clothes. Just a few things.”
“Clothes?” He stared at her. “Why?”
Good grief. “Because man does not live by muscles alone.” She grabbed the hem of his pants. “You only have one pair of jeans and a mended shirt. I think that warrants some new clothes.”
