“I’ll get this right out. My name’s Sunshine if y’all need anything else.”
Spinning on her heels, she walked off.
“Sunshine. I bet she could brighten my day anytime of the day,” Jeff said.
Josh was typing something out on his phone, and I was positive it was a text message to our overly friendly waitress.
We soon got lost in football talk and how we felt like our senior year was going to be. All three of us had already been approached by NFL scouts. I wasn’t the least bit interested in playing pro. I knew Jeff wasn’t either, but I had no idea where Josh stood on the matter.
“So you thinking pro?” I asked, taking a bit of my sandwich. I glanced over to see it was Jeff now texting with someone. By the smile on his face, I was positive it was a girl. A girl named Sunshine. I rolled my eyes.
“Nah, I’m going to start working with my father. Hopefully learn the ropes of his business. I mean, he’s running a multimillion-dollar-a-year gig. All by making furniture for people.”
“Woodworking in your blood too?” Jeff asked.
“Heck yeah. I’ve always loved making things with my hands. I’ve made a few pieces for my dad’s clients, and I really enjoyed it. I wouldn’t mind branching off and expanding a bit more outside of Austin.”
I nodded. “Sounds like a good plan.”
“What about you, Gunner? What have you decided?” Josh asked.
“The ranch. It’s all I’ve ever wanted to do. After graduation I’m planning on moving to Mason.”
“Damn, I love Mason,” Jeff added.
“Move there with me. Work on the ranch until you decide what you want to do.”
He shook his head. “I don’t know. It depends on if I get offered a position where we intern at. If it’s one I can’t refuse, I may just take it. Stay close by Ellie.”
Her name caused my heart to feel like it skipped a beat. I pushed the crazy feeling away.
“Hell, I’m full now,” I said with a chuckle.
“Me too. I’m ready to just kick back for a bit and not think about football or running again tomorrow,” Josh said, forcing a yawn back.
Jeff shook his head. “Pussies. I’m thinking of going on another run after this food settles.”
Sunshine walked up and flashed that sexy smile she had mastered probably years ago when she stood in front of a mirror as a high school girl.
“Is there anything else I can do for you boys?”
Jeff used his finger for her to move in closer.
“What’s for dessert?”
Her tongue moved across her lips slowly. It even made my dick jump as I stared at her mouth.
“Depends. You want dessert from the menu or dessert from me?”
Josh laughed.
“I think we’ll just take the check, Sunshine.” I said, kicking Jeff under the table to break his eyes away from hers.
Looking my way, Sunshine frowned. “Buzzkill.”
She set the check down and stared at me for a few seconds.
“It’s a shame; you were the one I was most hoping to hook up with.”
