for.”
“Oh.”
“You know, many women are believed to have better secretarial skills and stuff,” Jennifer glanced towards Andrew. “I did a lot of office management with small startups and logistic companies throughout college.”
“College? Which one? What was your major?”
Jennifer blinked. “It doesn’t matter.”
Laughing, Andrew looked towards her quickly. “Yes, it does.”
“No, it doesn’t!” Jennifer snapped. The techno trance swelled within the Charger in a matter of seconds.
Andrew turned towards the road and took a deep breath. They continued in silence well past the welcoming stone of Colorado Springs. Jennifer pressed her face against the glass, eyeing the Rockies on her right. She shifted in her seat and glanced towards Andrew. He had relaxed considerably since she had raised her voice, but she could tell he was purposefully ignoring her now, taking too much interest in the road signs and other vehicles on the road.
She considered offering an apology but never opened her mouth. Instead, she interested herself with the passing colors of rock.
“Are we almost there?” She asked after he had taken a few more exits. They were coming to a town now where hippies seemed to stroll the blocks with gusto. Interesting.
“Almost.”
More silence. About five minutes later, Andrew circled around a section twice.
“What are you doing?” Jennifer asked, watching a couple leave their vehicle on the side of the road. There appeared to be shoulder parking, but she could tell it was sparse.
“Looking for a place to park.”
“There’s one,” she pointed through the window and turned to Andrew, a hint of a smile on the corners of her lips.
His eyes trailed the length of her forearm from her fingers to her shoulder. He slowed the vehicle.
“Can you parallel park?” Jennifer asked.
“Do I drive inner city Chicago?”
His tone was flat. He wasn’t joking. Jennifer took a deep breath, and forced herself to control her rolling eyes. Her beef wasn’t with Andrew.
“I’m sorry I snapped at you,” she said with effort.
Andrew looked towards her. Their eyes fixed for a moment before he turned his attention to parking. Once he had nestled the Charger between an SUV and a small Prius, he cut the engine.
“Thank you.” He turned to Jennifer and looked her over again. “I don’t know if hiking to the waterfall is a good idea in your thing,” his eyes washed over her body. “It’s really pretty though.”
Jennifer looked down at herself. “What’s wrong with it? I’m pretty athletic. I have a gym membership,” she said quickly.
“It’s a bit of a walk.”
“I can do it,” Jennifer left the car, tucking her purse into the side of the door before she exited. “Where are we going?” She looked around. They had parked on the side of a slope, with a steep hill behind them. She faced towards the hill once she realized that it was the direction other people faced. “Up this hill? Is that it?”
“Well, we do need to get up this hill to start.” Andrew locked the door and pointed towards the hill. He slipped a pack on his back that hugged closely to his skin once he snapped it into place.
“There are two trails over here. One is the Incline, and the other is the Bail Trail. We’ll take that one and then turn off a little ways to get to the waterfall,” he paused. “We can just do the other thing if you want.”
Jennifer began to prance on the tips of her toes as they walked up the hill. “You don’t think I could do it?” She watched Andrew for his reply. No, he didn’t think she could. He looked her over thoughtfully.
“I think you could with the proper motivation,” he smiled. What exactly did that mean? Jennifer chuckled at his answer and flipped her pony tail.
“I ran track in high school.” That wasn’t entirely true. She was on the team but never actually ran a meet. She was a backup, or at least that’s what the coach told her. He didn’t need to
