going to reveal the bastard’s name. And where the hell is this delivery?”
No sooner had Jack gotten the words out when two flatbed tow trucks lumbered down the driveway. Each with a covered vehicle on the back. They pulled up in front of the house and positioned themselves to unload the vehicles.
The man in the first truck got out and said, “This Stargazer Ranch?”
Jack replied, “Yeah.”
“You the owner, Jack Turner?”
“Yeah.”
“Delivery’s for you, man.”
Jack and Caleb came off the porch, staring at the trucks and the man. “Whose cars are these?”
“Yours. Sign here, please.”
Jack signed and the man got out two pink slips. “Who gets the Camaro?”
Caleb and Jack looked at each other blankly. “She didn’t,” Caleb blurted.
“If the she you’re referring to goes by Jenna Caldwell, then yes, she did,” the delivery man said.
“Uh, the Camaro is mine, I guess.” Jack couldn’t believe it. She bought him a car.
“Okay, sign here.” Jack did and took the pink slip.
“Is the Mustang for you?” the delivery man asked Caleb.
Caleb opened his mouth, closed it, then said still unsure, “Uh, yeah, I guess it is.”
“Sign here and we’ll get them unloaded.”
“Jack, she bought me a car. Why did she buy me a car?” Stunned, they could only stare. “This can’t be real. People don’t buy other people cars. Not like this.”
“I don’t know. She bought me one, too,” Jack said, dumbfounded.
The drivers hauled themselves up to the back of the flatbeds. They uncovered the Camaro first, rose the front end of the flatbed, and backed the car down onto the driveway. They repeated the process with the other flatbed, uncovering the Mustang next and unloading it.
Jack and Caleb stood in awe, unable to believe what they were seeing.
The driver handed the keys to him and Caleb and took off. First thing, they both popped the hoods and stared at the amazing machines. They shoved at each other and grinned, slapping each other on the back.
“Look at these beauties. Can you believe it? They’re our dream cars, a blue ’69 Camaro and a red ’67 Fastback Mustang. But why did she do this? How did she do this?”
“I don’t know, man, but she did. We’ll ask her when she gets here.” Jack leaned over the engine wondering how she’d done this, how she could afford to do this, and what else she had planned for them. He wasn’t used to women buying things for him. This was something beyond even that. She’d made one of his dreams come true and brought back cherished memories of him with his dad flying down the highway, nothing but speed and fun.
He needed to see her. He wanted an explanation. Nothing about Jenna added up. He was a man who liked to know exactly how things fell in line, how the pieces added up to make a whole.
JENNA SMILED TO herself as they passed the tow trucks on the main road. The guys must have gotten her surprise.
Summer drove, the back of the vehicle loaded down from their shopping trip. Lily napped in her car seat, crashing from too much sugar and fun.
“Summer, how do you like driving this big car? I know you’re used to your little four-door, and I really appreciate you driving home.”
“What’s not to like about driving this thing? Leather interior, all kinds of buttons and gadgets.”
“So you like it, huh.” She smiled secretly to herself.
“Yeah. It drives like a dream, even though it’s big.”
They reached the front of the house and witnessed the perfect display of boys with their toys. The two cars were parked next to each other. Hoods up, the two men were looking at the engines with their backs to Jenna and Summer. They had a perfect view of Jack and Caleb’s butts hugged snugly in their jeans as they bent over the cars.
“Now that’s what I like to see. A couple of nice asses bent over a really hot car.”
“Jenna! You didn’t. You bought them cars.”
“Yep. Cool, huh.”
Summer gently woke Lily and got her out. She rushed over to her dad.
“Daddy, guess what? We got to go on a plane. A jet. I got to see the pilot and sit in the cockpit. It was so cool. Then, we got to ride in a huge limo. You could fit a whole bunch of people. It even had a TV. Then, we went shopping and the people helped us. Their job is to shop with you. Isn’t that neat?
“Jenna bought us all kinds of stuff. Diamonds, too. See my earrings.
