Chapter Six

Maynard was in the store, shopping for groceries. Luke had insisted on coming along since the guy who’d shot Maynard was still on the loose, but Maynard could tell that walking around the store was taking its toll on his mate.

“You should get one of those motorized carts,” Maynard said. “There’s no shame in using one of them.”

Luke grunted. “No thanks.”

Frustrated, Maynard abandoned their cart, left Luke standing in the aisle, and went to the front of the store. He’d never driven one of those motorized carts, but how hard could it be?

After unplugging it, Maynard sat. He studied the panel for a moment, figured out how to turn it on, then pressed the little doodad to move forward. Then he crashed into the line of carts. Maynard tried again and managed to drive it to the aisle where Luke was waiting for him.

“Nope.” Luke shook his head. “Not going to do it. Save that for someone who really needs it.”

“Like you?” Maynard tried to stop but pressed the wrong doodad and ended up crashing into a shelf.

“You’re gonna bring the whole store down,” Luke said.

“I can master one stupid cart,” Maynard complained. “If you’re so worried, you drive it.” Maynard got up and transferred their groceries to the new cart. “Now you have to drive it. All our stuff is in the cart.” He grinned at Luke. “It’s actually kind of fun. It’s like driving a go-cart.”

Luke arched a brow. “What, at five miles an hour?”

“It gets up in speed once you get going.” Maynard waved toward the seat. “Go ahead, give it a shot.”

“I’m too damn big for it.” Luke crossed his arms.

“No, you’re not.” Maynard parroted Luke’s arm crossing. He was actually worried that Luke would be too big for it. “Chicken?”

“Hardly.”

“Then go for it.” Maybe challenging Luke would get him to sit down and give his leg a rest. “You’re telling me that old people have more guts than you?”

Grumbling under his breath, Luke sat. He was a bit cramped, but he still fit. Maynard stepped onto the back, though he doubted he was supposed to. “Onward and upward!”

Luke pressed the doodad, and they shot forward, crashing into a shelf. Maynard got down and picked up the boxes, putting them back. He thought Luke would give up, but his jaw was set and his brows were furrowed, as if determined to master the motorized cart.

After a few rough turns and stopping abruptly multiple times, Luke was driving like a pro. When Maynard got off to grab something, he could have sworn he saw pleasure on Luke’s handsome face.

“I think you’re having too much fun,” Maynard teased.

“Copilots aren’t supposed to tease the driver,” Luke shot back. “Get your sexy ass back on the chair so we can fly toward produce.”

Maynard laughed as he did what Luke said. They both grimaced when Luke nearly ran over a man with a cane. “Sorry,” Luke said. “Didn’t see you there.”

The old man waved them off, and Luke took off quickly, while Maynard roared with laughter.
