BENNETT

“What’s wrong, Bennett?” Kathryn asks as I drive.

“Nothing, why?” My hands are sweating and my heart has never beat so fast and loud in my entire life.

“We had dinner with your parents and you barely even spoke with them. What’s going on?”

“Nothing,” I snap.

“Hey, don’t be a jerk,” Kathryn pulls me up on my brisk response.

“I’m sorry,” I say. “I’ve got a lot on my mind, that’s all.”

“Is it the election?”

No. “Yeah, there’s still so much to do before November, and I’m afraid I’m going to be traveling between college and work until this is over.”

“Well, this is what happens when you’re in politics.” Kathryn looks out the window and releases a cute little sigh. “Are you sure that’s it?”

“Yes, of course,” I say with too much force.

“If you say so.” With a dry mouth and a palpitating heart, I’m not sure how much longer I can hold onto this before I damn well break. “Where are we going?”

“Somewhere,” I reply curtly.

“What is wrong with you, Bennett?” She swivels in her seat and crosses her arms in front of her chest. “I don’t like this version of you. You’re being horrible to me, and I haven’t done anything to deserve this.”

“I’m so sorry, baby,” I say feeling like a complete dick. “I’m just stressed, and tired. That’s all. And tomorrow we fly back home, and I know the next few months are going to be insanely busy.”

“It’s what you signed up for. If you don’t want to do it, then pick a different career path.”

Wow, talk about savage. “You’re right, I’m being unreasonably short with you. You haven’t done a single thing except be perfect and I’m treating you like an ass. I’m sorry,” I say as I try to soften my voice.

“Hmm.” She taps her foot on the floor of the car. “Don’t be a jerk anymore.”

“I won’t.” I hope.

“Are you going to tell me where we’re...” Kathryn pauses. “Hang on, I know where we’re going. This is in the direction of Bette and Benjamin Doyle’s house. Are we going to their garden?”

“I should’ve blindfolded you,” I say and reach for her hand.

“Ohh, I liked it there. Remember, that was our first date. You made a picnic, and we sat under one of the trees.” Kathryn unlinks our hands and runs her finger across her mouth. “I remember our kiss in the garden.”

“I do too.” The thought of kissing Kathryn is making my cock stir. Thankfully, I pull up at the Doyles’ and quickly exit the car to readjust my jeans because that was beginning to be quite uncomfortable. I open the door for Kathryn and hold my hand out to her. “Ma’am.”

“Thank you, kind sir.” She places her small, warm hand in mine, and I help her out of the car. “Why did Mr. Grumpy bring me here?” Kathryn closes her eyes and takes a long, slow breath. I love watching her. She has such a zest for life, and an appreciation for the simple things. She never takes anything for granted either.
