A/n: This is kind of an epilogue to the KatiexReader series I made back in 'Oh who is she?' If you haven't read it yet then that's fine, you can read this as a stand alone chapter. But it would make more sense if you read the chapters before it.

Case Name: Epilogue.
"I think she's cheating on me."
"You're fucking delusional."
I glare at my best friend, Erin, and click my tongue in annoyance. .
"I swear. She's been acting... strange lately."
Erin stares at me like I lost my mind before grabbing the restaurant menu and smacking it upside my head.
"Hey!" I grab at the menu and pull it away as I look around the area.
"That girl doesn't have a single cheating bone in her body." Erin says in a defensive tone.
"I'm serious!"
"And so am I." Erin reaches out and smacks my shoulder. "What makes you think she's cheating anyways?"
"She's a little distant. And she goes to bed later than me."
"Okay, so?"
I shoot Erin a very unimpressed look before looking around the restaurant.
I can feel her eyes on me and it was causing me to lose focus. I was waiting for Katie to come back from the bathroom. And my anxiety was high because of what I thought was going on. I didn't see it but Erin sighs before folding her hands on the table.
"Look, if you really think she's cheating then watch how she acts with you. Especially when it comes to her phone."
I look at Erin with furrowed brows. "What do you mean?"
"That girl never goes anywhere without her phone. It's glued to her hand." She chuckles at her own joke before adding on. "Let her place it on the table and then you go reach over her near the phone for something and see what she does."
"Okay, what's that expose?" I was genuinely confused for a second.
"Infidelity. If she's cheating then she'll quickly grab her phone thinking you were reaching for it. Means she's hiding something from you."
I went to speak again but was interrupted by our waitress's arrival to take our order. So I had no chance to talk to Erin more about what she was asking me to do.
"Sorry for keeping you guys waiting. I had to use the bathroom."
Katie finally shows back up before she sits down next to me and leans in to kiss my cheek. Her lips brush over my skin and I melt at the touch.
"My name is Jessie and I'll be your server for today." The woman was beautiful with a charming smile. "Would you all like to start with some appetizers?"
"I'd like an order of your fried pickles with extra ranch on the side." Erin was the first to order.
"Okay," Jessie wrote down the first item then turned to us. "And you two?"
"Mozzarella sticks with both ranch and marinara." I turn to Katie just as she does the same to meet my gaze. "Babe?"
Katie was leaning her chin on her palm, smiling at me. It caused everything within me not to lean over and kiss her. Erin was right, how could she be cheating on me if she's looking at me like that.
