"Can I offer you a drink?", Roberto asked Angela.
She was not really willing, but the father-daughter dance is half an hour away and until then there is nothing else going on and she didn't have a valid reason to reject Roberto. She could say 'no', and then stand there awkwardly.
The truth was that Angela would love to spend time with Derek, but considering the situation with Ashton, she knew how that was not a good idea.
Angela glanced at Derek and smiled apologetically before responding to Roberto.
"Sure."
They discussed this previously and she knew that Derek will understand how there was nothing going on between her and any other guy (Roberto included). But it didn't make it any easier because every cell in her body screamed for Derek's proximity. She told herself that it's just a drink and nothing more, but she felt like she is cheating on her love.
