“He doesn’t have a girlfriend, that’s interesting.” She says out loud.
“Good for him. I don’t live here anymore.” I throw back at her.
“You totally wanted to jump his bones, I could see it in your eyes last night you little hussy.” She grins. God, I hate her right now.
“Okay, so yes, I did. I thought about it okay? He’s gorgeous how could I not? I’m only human.”
“And a bully.” She points out.
I want to smack the shit out of her in the middle of this waiting room, but I’m trying so hard to contain that urge. When we get in the car though, it is so on.
“Yes, I was a freaking bully, but you called him that too.” I throw back at her.
“But he’s since forgiven me. Besides, I’m not the one who started it….bully.”
My face turns red, but a laugh escapes my throat. She is freaking hilarious and this is why she is still and will always be my best friend.
The door opens and footsteps approach. “Shayleigh Dougherty, your car is ready.” The man from the counter tells me. “Sign here and go outside, the mechanic has your keys.”
I look at him a little odd. They usually hand you the keys back. I shrug it off and scribble my name on the invoice. I hand him my credit card and when he gives it back, Sienna and I walk outside.
My jaw hits the ground when I see Beau Granger leaning against my car. What the hell is going on and why is he everywhere? A grin appears on his face and I can’t help but grin back. Hello, Busty Beau.
Those blue eyes are sparkling and setting my very world on fire. “I thought I recognized this car. Matter of fact, I’m not so sure I could forget it.”
I look over at Sienna and glare. She set this shit up. She knew exactly what she was doing when she gave me directions here. She’s so catching an earful when we leave, but right now, all I want to do is stare at that gorgeous face of his. This is the best Saturday of my life.
“Looks like you keep coming to my rescue. What are you doing here? How can I repay you Beau?” I ask suddenly realizing it sounds like I’m throwing myself at him.
He licks his lips and puts on the perfect smile. “My family owns this place, I help run it. Well there is one thing you and Sienna could do, if you insist.”
Sienna raises her eyebrows and just stares at him with her hand on her hip. His icy blue eyes lock with mine and he smiles, “Some buddies of mine are having a party tonight. Sienna, it’s at mine and Rob’s house out in Topsy. You know the place right?”
Sienna’s face flushes for a minute and I’m thinking it has something to do with this Rob guy. I’ll have to pry that out of her later, but right now, I’m trying to understand why he’s inviting us to this party. Has he not figured out who I am by now, especially since he knows who Sienna is?
“What do you think Shay? Want to go to this party tonight?” Sienna asks me.
“Yeah Shay, what do you think?” he mimics her. My eyes go from Sienna back to Beau and I’m pretty much wanting to say hell yeah, but I don’t want to sound too desperate.
“Yeah, that sounds good to me.” I answer as nonchalantly as I can. His eyes light up like he can’t believe I just said yes. Hell, I can’t believe I just said yes. He hands the keys over to me, our hands touching a second longer just like yesterday. Once again, I don’t mind the grease. I don’t mind it at all.
“Well, see you tonight Shay.” He winks as he pulls his hand away. He turns and walks back into the garage leaving me absolutely breathless.
I climb into the car and buckle my seatbelt. When I look over at Sienna, she has that damn smirk on her face again. Doesn’t she ever get tired of doing that? She better be careful or her face with freeze like that. Actually, I hope it does for all the crap she gives me.
“What?” I ask her.
“Busty Beau and Shayleigh sitting in a tree,” she begins.
“Keep singing that and I’ll rearrange your face. And you’ve seen him, that hunk of a man is far from busty. Oh, who is Rob?”
That shut her up real fast. Her face blushes faintly as she tries to turn from me. “He’s, uh just a friend.”
“Uh huh, a friend. Gotcha. I’ll analyze that situation tonight. That okay with you?”
“Whatever. You’ll be so far into Beau’s lusty self you won’t be able to see straight. By the way, have I told you how excited I am that you are here?” she coos at me.
“Yes, you have and believe me, I’m glad too. Now, what’s for lunch I’m starving?”
