Sam has never been like that towards us.”
Lance stopped and looked at him again, wondering why he was talking about him as if he knew him. Billy had said his name as if he was friends with him and he found it odd, but he didn’t say anything else. Lance just realized then that he needed to keep it all more towards his chest instead of sharing what he usually would with him.
“I am not going to pick up family. Is that the only kid he’s got?”
“No, I think he has a daughter that is about to finish high school.”
Lance nodded, taking in the information that the man had, but he had to take it all in with a grain of salt. There was something amiss and though he was sure that it would all come out, he was already trying to wrap his brain around it. “Thanks Billy. I will get with you later. Just make sure that there are posts at the warehouse for the next couple of nights.”
“Did you need anything else?” Billy was confused by the change in the direction of the conversation. Lance was acting strange, but he tried to blame it on all of the stresses that he was under. While Lance was known for his violent tendencies, so were the Columbians. He was worried about his friend.
“No, I will take care of it.”
“Okay Lance. I am here if you need me.”
He watched him walk out of the small office and Lance was filled with mixed emotions. It was about that time that Dotty came in. “Hey baby, you look stressed. Do you want me to take care of that for you?”
Her hands went to his hard chest and then one creeped up into her shoulder-length brown hair. It was hard to think when she was touching him, but he didn’t have time for her right then. Pushing her back, he watched her face fall and he almost pushed her down where she was needed most. But he had to keep a level head about him.
“Not now Dotty. Maybe tonight.”
She whined that he hadn’t come see her for the last couple of nights. “I’m not looking for a girlfriend to rag on me Dotty, so if that is what you think this is…”
“No Lance, not at all. I just miss you is all. I miss the taste of you in my mouth.”
He groaned as his eyes went to her soft lips that he wanted to feel against him. But he had to take care of things first, so he had to shake off the feeling of the devil woman and ended up sounding a bit too gruff. “Later Dotty.”
She left looking hurt and Lance groaned loudly. She was staying with him because of some issues she was having finding a place after her lease went up. The little blonde was very manipulative though and used sex to get her way most of the time. If she didn’t get her way, she resorted to this sort of pout that drove him crazy, but at the same time made him want to give in. He didn’t love her, but the ease of sex was nice and she was a good cook. But it was moments like that, that made him realize that she was getting too comfortable in her place.
He got dressed to go out and her eyes took in the leather jacket. “Where are you going?”
Again, she was pretending to be more than she was and he felt like he had to remind her that there situation there was just temporary. “Out.”
Her face fell and he saw the pout going back on her face. “Oh.”
“How is house hunting going? You found anything you like yet?”
Dotty looked a bit alarmed. “No, not yet. I have a couple of viewings tomorrow that look promising.”
He just nodded his head before he left out the door. He didn’t say anything to reassure her. Dotty’s time at his place was coming to an end quickly.
Lance didn’t feel any better telling her how it really was. She had been there a couple of months now and though he enjoyed her company sometimes, there was just nothing else there. They were good friends or some sort of roommate, but it was wrong of him to use her in that way, knowing that he would never give her the fairy tale love that she wanted. It was what all women wanted, but Lance was just not capable of it.
