By the time I make it back with two coffees, the girls’ table has already attracted a line of people. I got stuck at the coffee shop because I didn’t think to ask how Nicole wanted it. But when the barista asked who it was for he knew immediately how she took it. That irritated me to no end, but it was made worse by the questions I got afterwards.

It seemed like everyone in the town was in the shop asking me why I was getting coffee for “Nikki” and was I the guy at the bar with her last night. I avoided questions as much as I could until the guy handed me over two cups, telling me which one was for her and which was for Sammy. I hadn’t even had a chance to tell him I was getting them both a drink before I got bombarded by people, so he must know they’re always together.

Everyone in this town knows one another and they’re all looking at me like I’m some alien from another planet. I’m trying not to be the asshole I know I can come across as, because this is Nicole’s town and I want her to like me. I mean, I know what I felt last night and I’m hoping she did, too. But what if everyone in this town tells her I’m the bad guy? And worse, what if someone figures out who I really am and tells her. Fuck, I’ve got to figure out a way to tell her.

“Here you go, blondie,” I say, coming up from behind her and passing her the cup.

“Thanks,” Sammy says as she takes hers and then sets it down so that she can take money from someone.

“You guys got busy while I was gone,” I say, and Nicole looks back over her shoulder to wink at me.

God, I wish I could take her to the ground right now and bury my face between her legs. I lick my lips, trying desperately to recall the taste from last night. I thought I’d get another chance this morning, but when I woke up and she was gone I came undone.

“What can I do to help?” I ask, looking at all the people waiting to get to them. I don’t really want to talk to them, but I’d do anything to help Nicole.

“Can you grab a few more boxes from the truck?” she asks, sounding excited. “I can’t believe we’ve already gone through so many.”

“You got it,” I say and walk over to where I parked.

The mayor is on the other side of the farmers market now and I hope he stays that way. I had my assistant Kathy put in a call to him to set up a meeting, but I’m rethinking everything now. Nicole has got my plans all shot up and I’ve got to figure out which way is up. When he walked over to me and said hello I spent the entire time hoping Nicole wasn’t watching.
