“Nat has sparring gloves?” Beka looked genuinely surprised to hear that. “The only punch I’ve ever seen her throw was in the lounge when she tripped and dropped a glass of fruit cocktail.”
She quickly plastered a hand across her mouth and sighed. When that particular one-liner got back to Nat, her roommate was going to make Beka pay dearly.
“Sorry,” the redhead said, her hand dropping to her waist. “I tend to shoot from the lip when I’m caught by surprise. And you got me good, I must admit. It’s not every day I get someone as hot as you come knocking on my door. Even if you did want Nat.”
The warm smile on Beka’s lips easily reached her emerald-coloured eyes.
“Can I get you something to drink?” she offered. “Coffee? Soda? I don’t drink the hard stuff but I’m sure we can raid Nat’s stash.”
Her expression changed for a second as she suddenly remembered something.
“Sorry, look at me running my mouth. I’m Beka Sydesh. Part time doctor, part time embarrassment to all concerned. And it is an honour to meet you,” she said, managing to pull off a surprisingly effective curtsy for someone who was wearing jeans.
