Deacon

My second date with Ozzy came nine days after the first one. We’d had plans earlier in the week that had been canceled by an afternoon apartment fire, and then by the paper sending me to Boston to interview the governor about the anti-texting and driving bill he was about to sign into law.

Since I’d been the one who picked the spot of our first date, I let Ozzy choose where he wanted to take me on our second. Honestly, it didn’t matter where he took me. The simple fact that he wanted to see me again took my breath away.

The only information Ozzy had given me about the date was that I should dress casual, but bring a jacket just in case. Cape Ann stuck out into the Atlantic Ocean. It was always several degrees cooler here than it was further inland, thanks to the sea breeze. It could be eighty-five degrees in Danvers but drive ten miles east into Gloucester and the temperature was always much cooler.

When Ozzy arrived, he was dressed in faded jeans and a collared shirt. He was sex on legs, pure and simple. I hoped to hell he was taking me somewhere private where I would have a chance to nibble on his delectable neck.

“You look amazing.” Ozzy hugged me, holding on much longer than he needed to.

I supposed I looked okay. I had on a pair of dark wash jeans and a navy-blue golf shirt. “You do too. Where are we going?” I was anxious to get the night underway.

“Patience. All will be explained very soon.” Taking my hand, Ozzy led me to the passenger side of his Dodge Charger. He pressed a kiss to my cheek before opening the door and ushering me inside. Half of me still couldn’t believe this was my life. I was about to head out for a night on the town with the handsomest man I’ve ever met in my life, and he was my date. Was it possible for life to get any better than this?

“How was work today?” Ozzy started up the car, pulled slowly out of my driveway, and onto Old Salem Road.

“I worked on your interview with my editor. We made some last-minute changes and it will be in tomorrow morning’s edition of the paper. I think you’re going to like it.”

“I know I’ll like it. You wrote it. The bigger question is, will my mother like it or will she be ready to take my hide?” Ozzy snickered.

“I guarantee Mandy will love it too.” My fingers were crossed so hard my bones ached.

“Knowing my mother, she’ll probably buy all the copies she can find. When we were all kids, she used to keep scrapbooks for each of us. She’d paste in special pictures and newspaper articles we’d been featured in for academics or sports. I have a feeling this article will be the next addition to my edition.”

It felt good knowing something I’d written would be part of Ozzy’s life story. “It’s been almost two weeks since the last arson.
