Chapter Six

Heidi was waiting for Slade when he got home from work. She was wearing her favorite pair of old jeans, a button down shirt, a cowboy hat, and a pair of cowboy boots. She’d added some curl to her long hair, and it was streaming down her back.

Slade walked in and caught sight of her, grinning. “Let me shower and dress. I’ll be ready in twenty.”

“No rush,” she told him.

“I’d suggest you join me, but you look like you’re ready to go out for the night, and I probably shouldn’t smudge you.”

“Probably not.”

He sighed heavily, walking into the bathroom and throwing his scrubs off. He started the water in the tub to heat it up. “Next time wait and get ready when I do. You’re taking half the fun out of the night!”

“Half the fun was showering together? Well, that seems rather high. I mean, shouldn’t half the fun be going to dance and riding the bull and the other half be making love when we get home?”

He seemed to consider it for a moment. “You’re probably right. But the shower would have been fun.”

“I’m sure we’ll get sweaty while we’re dancing,” she reminded him, shutting the bathroom door from the outside.

True to his word, he was ready twenty minutes later, dressed very similarly to her. He was even wearing a green checkered shirt like hers. “We match.”

Heidi nodded. “We do. I’m not sure if one of us should change, or if we should just go ahead and go.”

He shrugged. “I don’t know, but I’m taking you out for the best steak you’ve ever had, and then we’re going to dance.”

“Sounds good to me!”

He was right about the steak. She had never had one quite so tender. “This really is amazing.” She looked at him across the table as she bit into the meat.

He smiled. “Yeah, I went through a long series of first dates, and no one was willing to go on a second one with me. I found this when I was looking for a new place to try with one of them.”

She grinned. “Because you look at naked women all day!”

He sighed. “I’m glad it doesn’t bother you. Of course, why would it? You’re the most beautiful woman I’ve ever seen. Next to them, you’re Aphrodite.”

“Oh, you really are trying to butter me up for something. What exactly do you want?”

He shook his head, grinning. “Not a thing. I just think you’re really special and want you to know it.”

She couldn’t help but smile at him. “I feel like you want something, but I’ll leave it at that!”

He shrugged. “Not this time!” He nodded to the phone beside her plate. “Are you on call this weekend?”

She nodded. “My on call is different than yours, though. I need to arrange for someone to cover a shift if anyone calls in, but I rarely have to go in myself unless we have several people out. We had a stomach bug a month ago, and it was awful. Vicki and I were both covering extra shifts every time we turned around.
