Chapter 9

Argghh ... the world was ending. At least that’s how Michael felt. He had way too much the drink the night before. Drinking that much was never worth it the next day, he thought. However, it was all worth it for the moments he and Beth had shared behind the Inn. He wasn’t sure if she would want to see him again but he knew what he wanted and he intended to go after it. Beth was intriguing — she was smart, funny, driven, and attractive — something he had yet to find within one woman. But he needed to put her out of his mind for the day, since it was going to be a busy one.

The shingle guys would be arriving that morning and Jonah would be supervising them. Michael would probably have to tell his mother about what he and Annie had discovered about Malone’s Market. He wasn’t planning on visiting his Dad that day but it was certainly weighing on him. And to top it off, he was babysitting. Some vacation. He looked over at the alarm clock and jumped up. It was already six forty-five! Annie would be here any minute. He shot out of bed and in a matter of five minutes, he had showered and pulled on jeans with a navy blue t-shirt, a brown belt, sunglasses, and his brown boat shoes. He quickly looked at himself in the mirror. He had stubble but he knew he’d have no time to shave with Annie on the way. He grabbed his wallet and keys and by the time he hit the bottom of the stairs, Annie was knocking on the door.

He opened it and before he could say a word, Annie said, “God, you like hell!”

Michael growled at her and simply said, “Need coffee,” as he pulled on his sunglasses.

“Ah-Ah, little brother, details, details!”

They both walked to the car and Michael got in on the passenger side. He buckled in before saying, “Not much to tell. We were having a great time chatting, we even kissed—”

“Whoa! Not much to tell. Sounds like a lot to me,” Annie said, as she started the car and pulled out of the driveway to head to the market.

“Yeah, I know. She just, you know, hit the breaks fast and basically said she’s busy with work. I don’t know, we’ll see. I’ll give her a little space. Anyway, now how about that coffee?”

They pulled into the Dunkin Donuts and each got a coffee. Michael also opted for a chocolate glazed donut, something his trainer would have killed him for. He also hadn’t worked out once since he got there almost six days ago. That needed to change. He’d planned to finally put on those running shoes he’d brought with him and workout. He sipped his coffee as Annie drove and by the time they got to Malone’s Market, he felt almost human again. She promised him that they would be continuing the conversation about his night later that afternoon before his babysitting duty began.
