We stood in the quiet of the Cindy's hallway for about five minutes considering our options, not too eager to share our predicament with fellow partygoers. Eventually, we decided to make a run for it. We didn't even say goodbye. Under the circumstances, Cindy would probably understand. Our coats were right there in the den, I had my giftâGeorge the Gnomeâunder my arm and Sam had his permanentlyâat least until I tracked down and killed Goldieâattached to me.
We tried to see humor in the fact that neither could slip both arms into our jackets, so we must have looked ridiculous with a them dangling off our shoulders. The only thing more idiotic looking than that was me climbing into the driver's side of Samâs car, crawling over the center console to get to my seat, one arm stuck out behind me attached to Sam. It wasn't graceful, and definitely not ladylike, and I didn't want to think of the view Sam had of my rear end. The option of having Sam do it instead might have required the fire department come to extricate him, so I performed the acrobatics.
The only perk in this fiasco was that Sam had taken my hand in his once we realized our situation was fairly permanent and had yet to let it go. Who knew something so simple as handholding could be so...intimate? Erotic even. It might be freezing out, but my hand was warm in his.
We were safely tucked into the quiet confines of his car, the heater set to high, the heat seats on. Sam drove since his right wrist was attached to my left. We agreed there was no choice but to leave my car behind and make Goldie pick it up in the morning. She'd gotten us into this mess, the least she could do would be to return my stranded wagon.
It was snowing and extremely dark all around us. Heat started to blast from the vents. The radio pumped out the holiday tunes.
âI've been wanting to ask you something since the first time we met at the office,â Sam said, once we'd left Cindy's neighborhood behind. âBut I thought it might be a little forward.â
âOh?â I asked, a little breathless. A lot curious. I had George the Gnome in my lap and decided to take the Santa hat off it. His smile was broad and frozen in place. I imagined him winking at me and saying, âGo for it!â I carefully set him on the back seat. If any move making was going to occur, I didn't want him leering.
At a stop sign, Sam glanced over at me. âYour place or mine?â
He had the same heated look on his face that Iâd seen earlier, when he'd just stopped kissing me. The look that saidâmoreâwithout any words.
I cleared my throat, trying to dislodge the nerves, desire and excitement all clumped there. âI guess you don't have much choice either way,â I replied. We were stuck together, literally, but that didn't mean he wanted to be.
