Could they be more obvious?
Eddie’s smile didn’t falter.
“Eddie, this is my Mom’s best friend Trixie. Trixie, this is, um… Eddie.”
I kinda wished Slick would’ve broken in at that moment and knifed me, such was my desire for someone to kil me and put me out of my misery.
Eddie greeted Trixie and before it could get any more out of hand, I nearly ran across the room and grabbed Eddie’s hand.
“I was running late so we have to go,” I said.
I tugged Eddie’s hand and luckily he moved with me towards the front door.
“Don’t worry about us, we’l be just fine.” Trixie fol owed us to the front door.
I threw a look over my shoulder which should have turned her to stone. She just smiled at me.
“Stay out as long as you like,” Mom shouted from the
“Stay out as long as you like,” Mom shouted from the living room.
“Thanks Mom,” I shouted back, stopped at the door and looked at Trixie. “You’l take care of her?” I asked quietly.
“Do you need to ask?” Trixie was just as quiet.
“I can hear you!” Mom shouted.
I was pretty certain I heard Eddie chuckle.
Wonderful.
I kissed Trixie’s cheek, shouted good-bye to Mom and pul ed Eddie down the hal .
We were out the front door of the building when Eddie said, “That was fun.”
I didn’t answer and I slowed from my onward charge.
Now that I got him away from Mom and Trixie, I wanted to drag my feet.
Eddie took over and guided me toward his truck. At the passenger door, instead of opening it, he turned to me but he didn’t say anything.
I waited.
Then I said, “What?”
He pushed me against the truck, his body came up against mine and he kissed me, ful -on tongue. When he lifted his head, he had an arm wrapped around the middle of my back, his fingertips resting nearly at the side of my breast and the other hand resting on my hip.
“What was that?”
Dammit, I was breathy again.
“Just wanted to say I like what you’re wearing.”
“You could have just said it.”
“Preferred to show it.”
I had to admit, I preferred it too.
