Chapter 11

The date was a failure.

At the diner, William had taken the liberty of ordering a BLT that Georgia could barely finish without gagging. Afterwards, they went to a double feature. Having purchased the tickets in advance, he rushed her into the theater. It wasn’t until she was settled in the center of the row that she discovered what was playing. Not wanting to disturb the other moviegoers, she remained for the show.

“Woman, I don’t believe you’re coppin’ an attitude over the movies,” William grumbled.

When others were around, William was well spoken. He corrected the boys he mentored, telling them people were not only judged by the color of their skin but also by how they walked and talked. Lately, whenever it was just the two of them, he spoke like one of the creeps who hung out on the street corner, as if she wasn’t worth the effort to maintain appearances.

“I told you I don’t like movies with killing. Geesh, I don’t think I’ll ever sleep again after that second movie.”

“How was I supposed to know you wouldn’t like The Last Train from Gun Hill or The Man Who Could Cheat Death?”

“I told you when you asked me about it last week. Come to think of it, I also told you I don’t like BLTs. You did everything without taking any of my feelings into consideration. How’d you like it if I ordered you a fried egg sandwich and made you sit through The Five Pennies?”

“Not gonna happen. My dime, my say.”

“Is that so?” Georgia’s eyes narrowed. “In that case, next time I’ll pay for my own ticket.”

“Come on, sugar, don’t be that way.”

“Why not? I don’t have a problem paying my own way. In fact, you don’t even need to pick me up. I’ll take the bus.”

“Don’t be like that.” He grabbed her arm as she turned to the door. “You know I don’t like it when you’re upset.”

“From the way you were acting tonight, I didn’t think you gave two hoots about me.”

“You know that’s not true. I wouldn’t be by every night if I didn’t care.” He released her arm and reached up to stroke her cheek. “Listen, don’t you ever doubt my feelings for you.”

His eyes dropped from her eyes to her mouth, cuing her in on what was about to happen. Despite Celeste’s insistence that men wanted her, Georgia had few experiences with the opposite sex. She had only been kissed once before.

Her curiosity overrode her anger. She decided she wanted to go for it. Not wanting to appear too eager or easy, she waited until he leaned forward and pressed his lips against hers.

Even with her limited knowledge, she knew she should have felt something more than the need to simply tolerate his mouth on hers. Where were the quivers she read about in romance novels? She did not feel the slightest thrill when his lips moved against hers or when he slipped his tongue past her lips. The act was as exciting as being served liver after dreaming of steak.
