CHAPTER 15

Randy spent his Sunday evening mentally reminding himself why he should not and would not drive over to Will’s place and finish what they’d started. Considering how he’d spent the last year, when they eventually made it to bed, he should be able to keep her there for days.

After a restless night, he’d spent a long day Monday pumping iron and dealing with a broken elliptical. The machine was in use when it broke, increasing its speed to the point that he’d had to rescue poor Mrs. Wollinski from the contraption. Thank God the woman didn’t break a hip.

He knew Will was working the evening shift at Dempsey’s. They hadn’t discussed when they’d see each other again, and Randy considered waiting until she sought him out, but in the end he realized he didn’t want to wait. Simply put, he wanted to see her.

Dempsey’s closed at nine on Mondays, at least until the season kicked into full swing, so he timed his entrance to eight forty-five. This way, he wouldn’t disturb her from the job, and they could talk while she closed the place down. Randy was more than willing to lift a few chairs if it meant watching Will’s blue eyes dance as they shared some lighthearted flirting.

As he’d hoped, the place was nearly deserted when he stepped inside.

“You’re in late,” Daisy said, sliding up beside Randy as he settled onto a bar stool. Will was nowhere in sight.

“I’m here on wedding business.” He didn’t like Will’s preference that anything between them remain a secret, but he’d agreed to the term and would honor her wishes. “Figured it would be better to catch her at the end of the night.”

Not the best story in the world, but then he had little experience with subterfuge.

“You’re helping with the wedding?” Daisy asked, brows up.

“It’s at my business so my input is kind of required.” Her shock hit him the wrong way. “But what’s so strange about me helping with a wedding?”

Daisy shrugged. “Most guys I know wouldn’t do it, that’s all.” She moved the empty bottles from her tray onto the bar. “Mitch would rather have a spike driven through his forehead than help me plan anything. I can’t even get him to pick paint colors for my living room.”

Mitch also worked at Dempsey’s, but bussers weren’t really needed until business picked up. The pretty young blonde looked so frustrated, Randy offered a suggestion.

“Threaten to paint it all pink.”

“What?” Daisy said, blinking in confusion. “I don’t want a pink living room.”

Randy turned to face her. “I didn’t say paint it pink. I said threaten to. He’ll get involved real quick after that.”

The waitress scrunched up her face, pondering his suggestion. “You really think that would work?”

He nodded. “I’m sure of it.”

Daisy’s face lit up. “Thanks, I’ll try it,” she said, dropping a kiss on Randy’s cheek before heading back to her last remaining customers.

When he turned back to the bar, Randy spotted Will leaning in the doorway to the kitchen, one brow higher than the other.
