Chapter Twelve

Joey was dog-tired when she pulled up to the site the next morning. She put on her tool belt and walked over to where Mel and Brenda were talking.

“You look like shit,” Mel said.

“Thanks.”

“You never joined us at the bar,” Brenda said.

“No. I lost track of time. What are we working on today?” She ignored Brenda’s glare.

“You and Mel start laying carpet in the big room.” She pointed to her left. “That’s the only thing I want you to lay.”

“She’s so subtle,” Joey said to Mel.

Brenda stormed off, and Joey and Mel walked over to a roll of carpet leaning against a far wall.

“I can’t believe this place is almost done,” Joey said.

“I know. Grand opening is in two weeks. Samantha must be excited.”

“I’d imagine.” Joey made a mental note to talk to her about the day-care center that evening.

“You don’t have your usual ‘I just got laid’ strut going on today,” Mel said as they rolled out the carpet.

“Just because I didn’t go to the bar doesn’t mean I got laid.”

“What time did you get home?”

“Around three.”

“And you’re going to tell me you two just talked? I know you better than that.”

“But you don’t know her!”

“Whoa. Easy there. I think I found the exposed underbelly.”

“What’s that supposed to mean?”

“You’re just a little defensive. I think Samantha may be your weakness.”

“Fuck you.”

“Nice comeback.” Mel laughed.

“I’m tired, and I’m not in the mood right now.”

“But you were in the mood last night. So spill. What happened?”

“Nothing. We talked.”

“About?”

“Her dad mostly.”

“Are you fucking kidding me? You finally get the woman of your dreams alone and you talked about the man you hate more than anyone else?”

“He’s still her dad.”

“So nothing happened? No bullshit?”

“No bullshit. Nothing happened.”

“Did you at least make out? Cop a feel? Don’t disappoint me here, Romeo.”

Joey’s mind flashed back to the feel of Samantha’s breast under her hand. She quickly shook the image out of her head.

“We kissed a little. Nothing major.”

“I can’t believe you crashed and burned.”

“I didn’t!”

“Sounds to me like you did.”

“You don’t get it.”

“So explain it to me.”

“She’s not like the rest.” Joey stood and looked at Mel. “Plus she’s got a lot of shit she’s dealing with.”

“So what does that mean? You’re giving her time? Space? What?”

“It means she’s not ready to jump into bed yet.”

“And you stuck around anyway? What the hell? You really do like her, don’t you?”

“There’s something about her. I’ll say that.”

“Damn. I never thought I’d see the day.”

“Cut the crap. I don’t need it.”

“I’m happy for you in some warped, twisted way. I think you may have met your match.”

“We’ll see.” Joey knelt back down and began to tack the carpet.
