Chapter 16

Jacqueline

Vince and I spend the day at the art fair drinking expensive beer in plastic cups and walking around the shops. He’s as laid back and casual as he’s ever been, and I am too, come to think of it. I’m not sure what he’s teaching me about dating, because since we had sex on his stairs, shared a bed, and spent the day together, I’m pretty sure these fall under his “do not attempt” category.

It’s a topic I bring up over a dinner of fish and chips at a local pub. I’ve switched to water because day drinking made me sleepy. Vince palms his beer bottle and answers me succinctly.

“That’s the best part, Butler.” He picks up a fry and points at me with it. “We don’t have to have rules. We can fumble, fall down, and make mistakes.”

“Because this is pretend?”

He eats the fry and watches me. “You want to know if this is pretend?”

We’re at a small two-top table in the back of the restaurant. It’s loud in here, but where we’re sitting I can talk at a normal level and I don’t have to shout. “I want to define this going in, because I didn’t define things with J.T. and look where that got me.”

Vince smiles and my heart thuds heavily against my breastbone. He lays his hand on mine. “I coach. You learn. Define it however you want.”

“So tonight when you take me home…” I trail off just shy of asking him if he’s going to push me up against the front door for a long, long make-out session, or if I should invite him in.

“You’re ruining our dinner date. You’re supposed to be mysterious and I’m supposed to be charming and then we’re supposed to agonize over what happens next during the drive.”

“I’m not going to be the only one wondering,” I inform him. “You can try your moves, but I might not cave.”

“A challenge, then.” His eyes light as he welcomes that idea.

“Do you have what it takes?” I ask, playing it up, because seeing him like this makes me bold.

“I guess we’ll soon find out.”

“I guess so.”
