Sheesh, Dani, give me some credit.”
“I know. I know,” I say, throwing my wrapper at her. “I just don’t want it to be some random guy I get my kicks with. I’m not looking for a one night stand, but, since I’m not looking for a relationship either, I guess I need to just keep pleasing myself.”
“I’m sure I could help ya out in that department.”
I choke on a piece of my jerky as I turn around to see who caught the tail end of our convo. I just want to knock the cocky grin off his face even though it makes me smile. I’m pretty embarrassed he heard my admission.
“Oh, hey Gage. Thanks for making me choke on my jerky.”
“Sounds to me like that’s the only meat you’ve been choking on lately.” He laughs.
“Jealous, huh?” I lick my tongue around my jerky before sucking it into my mouth and watch as his mouth hangs open because he wishes that I was enjoying his meat stick. Then I take a big bite out of it and laugh when he winces. “So, did you need something?” I ask casually.
He shakes his head and fumbles around with his words. “Ahh, yeah… Umm, I came to ask you….” He scratches the back of his head while looking up towards the ceiling to avoid eye contact with me. “Oh yeah, I came to ask you if you wanted to hang out this weekend. Maybe go two-stepping.” He shyly smiles.
“I don’t really know, Gage,” I say, a little hesitant to answer him.
“Come on, Danielle. I know you love boot scootin’. We can go strictly as friends.” He half pouts, knowing that that look of his is a weakness of mine.
“Fine! You win! Pick me up Friday night at seven. I have to work Saturday, so don’t be keepin’ me up all night.”
“Oh, I’ll be keepin’ you up all night. That’s for sure.” He bends over the counter and gives my cheek a quick kiss before running out the door.
“Spill the beans, DJ.” I turn around to see Adyn standing there completely stunned by what just took place. “You’re telling me you want to get laid, and you have that fine boy more than willing to spread your body out like an all you can eat buffet.”
I laugh as I picture that in my head. “That’s just Gage,” I nonchalantly say as I bend down to pick up the wrapper I had tossed at her.
“And this is just my right tit.” She grabs her boob. “Now, spill the beans on that hot piece of ass that had me wanting to please myself right here in front of him.”
“Gage is my ex. The one I left here when I took off after high school. I left him broken hearted. He’s always been stuck here because his dad got sick and needed him to run the family business. I ran into him at the bar the other night, and we hung out when I got off work Saturday. I haven’t seen or heard from him in three days. I’m not really sure what to make of him these days,” I admit as I think about how he acts at times, the mysterious driver, him booking it at the docks as soon as his phone went off, and not seeing him for days at a time.
“Humph. Well, that explains it,” she says while ringing up a customer.
“Explains what, exactly?” I ask as I scoot closer to her.
“The way he was looking at you. The way you were looking at him.” She glances up at me through thick eyelashes that border the lines of looking fake.
“I wasn’t looking at him any particular way.” I hope that I wasn’t at least. I don’t want to lead him on.
“Mmmhmm. If that helps you sleep at night.” She smirks.
It’s been three days since I saw Gage and now three more days until I will most likely see him again. I’m kind of shocked that he isn’t trying to hang with me more, but I don’t know what his life really entails these days. Maybe Loralee is a part of it like Tyler said. I have to admit that I’m sure looking forward to going out Friday night, and work is going to drag until then.
“Well, hello Gage.” I hear my mom say after the knock on the door. “It’s so nice to see you.” I walk out of my room,
