Part of her wanted to scream she was no one's girlfriend, but this man's voice was sexier than his body, which was pretty damned sexy. That made him dangerous, and after the last couple of embarrassments of a relationship she'd had, no way was she going to get serious with someone she met outside the scene. She answered as simply as she could. “Congratulate.”
He smiled. “You didn't say if you were a girlfriend or not.”
“No, I didn't,” she said, working hard to deadpan it and give no emotion.
When she tried to walk around him, he used his larger than life presence to keep her from maneuvering to get past him. She looked back up into his eyes and noticed they were a beautiful, shimmering dark green, like the brilliance of a mallard's head in sunlight. His grin was teasing and mischievous, so she dropped her attitude and said, “Look, I just want to go see my friend, make sure he's okay, and then take him out for a good meal since he has another fight tomorrow and won't be drinking. You won't be fighting him tomorrow, but if you both win your fights tomorrow you'll fight him Sunday in the final event, so right now you're kind of the bad guy in my world. Hitting on me will get you nowhere.”
He smiled, such a beautiful smile. “Friend. Okay, I guess that answers my question. Go take care of your friend. I'll try not to hurt him too badly Sunday, if it comes to it.”
He stepped closer to the wall, giving her space to get around him, and she walked past him without looking back.
