She was lost in thought, wondering if she should invite him in. Finally, they headed back to the truck and rode back to her house quietly. After dinner, they walked hand in hand for some time, neither one ready for the night to be over. It was tender, sweet moments like this that made her toes curl in happiness. She really liked his company and was moved that he asked politely to hold her hand across the table. They spent a lovely evening, laughing and talking over dinner. He was trying for her, and she was touched. But bless his heart, he was trying to make this feel like a date and not rush things. “Thank you.” It felt so strange to be formal with him, especially when she’d seen him naked and they’d shared a night of bliss together.
Taking a deep breath of the fragrance, she sighed happily. Smiling, Charlie opted to get in the truck instead and held the flowers as he got in on the other side. I think there are containers at the bottom of the stems so they don’t dry out.” “If you want, or you can just enjoy them and put them in water later. “I thought I’d bring my lady some flowers for our date.” “They aren’t for me, sweetheart,” he teased, looking happy at her reaction. Turning, she looked up at him in surprise, touched by the gesture. Opening the door, she saw a dozen roses laying on the seat. She placed her hand on his arm, feeling quite ladylike and followed him as he walked her to the passenger side of the truck. I’m glad we are doing this,” he murmured, holding out his arm politely. “Something like that,” she admitted, laughing. His hair looked to be still a little wet from a shower and he was dressed in a starched dress shirt and slacks, instead of his jeans and a button up shirt. While she’d done her best to dress up, apparently, he had as well. She had to be ready and seeing him pull up in his truck, she knew that she was. It had also been torture knowing that if she did, it would open up that door between them. It was humbling to feel herself wanting to reach out and talk to him. She’d been so unhappy without any contact from him. There was no way she was going to pretend like this wasn’t important to her. She loved the way it was fitted down to the hips and then flowed outwards into a loose skirt. She wore something frilly and feminine today that she hoped would be eye-catching to him.
She’d taken the time to curl her hair and paint her nails before dressing. After texting Beth, she rolled over and went to sleep.Ĭharlie closed up the garage early in order to get ready for her date with Jack. She felt lighthearted and excited that she had plans with Jack tomorrow night.
I will try my best to slow down and not scare you awayĬharlie felt like there was a weight lifted off of her shoulders and felt herself smiling for the first time in weeks.
