“I’ve had so many smoothies and
granola this month, I’m going back to my roots.”
“It’s okay to cheat every once in a
while.” Lesley giggled, taking a bite of French toast. “Goodness knows I do it.”
Staring at a plate of eggs, bacon,
and toast, the scent wafted to my nostrils, reminding me of growing up. “My mom
used to cook this all the time. We had fresh eggs almost every day.”
Putting her fork down, she made eye
contact with me. “Do you miss living in the country?”
“I miss the anonymity and the
protection that comes from living in a small town. Although everyone does know
each other’s business way more than they should, they also take care of each
other.” I hoped she didn’t catch on I was still worried about that stupid
stalker email. I was a grown man for Pete’s sake.
“I miss the safety of growing up,
having my family around. My brothers wouldn’t let anyone mess with me.” She
smiled, then took a long drink of milk. “Now, my muscles are so massive, I can
take care of myself.”
“You’re an impressive physical
specimen of a female, for sure.” Although I intended that remark to be
innocent, I couldn’t deny an undertone of longing in my words. Lesley was
beautiful, full of energy and talent. I was on the edge of a helpless
situation.
“You’re a rather handsome man
yourself, Eugene Carlton.”
I soaked up Lesley’s adoration like a
dried out ocean sponge, soothing waters filling me with confidence and
happiness. “I appreciate you my friend.”
“What would you say if I asked you
out on an honest to goodness date?”
She absolutely knew exactly what I’d
say.
How could I miss our dark complexioned
admirer hanging on every word we shared?
