Chapter Twelve
“Too bad she wouldn’t join us,” George pouted.
“No kidding. Our last night here and she flat-out refused. For Christ’s sake, we were here for fourteen days!”
“Maybe you scared her off.” Jake smiled at his parents. “You’re both kinda ugly.” The truth was, she had said she had some things to take care of. An appointment she couldn’t miss. But in the back of his mind, Jake wondered if it had more to do with not wanting to take a chance on them being more than what they were—a casual relationship.
Renee shook her head. “She’s been good for you. Look! Your sense of humor is back and there’s a light in your eyes.”
“I have to agree with your mother, son.”
“Why does it have to do with her? Why can’t it simply be because I’m happy? Or that I like what I’m doing?” Jake rolled his eyes when his father sat forward. He only did that when he really wanted to prove his point.
“Jake, I’ve always been proud of you…” his father began.
When Dave chuckled beside him, Jake sent him a warning glare.
“… never have you given us trouble. Well, except for the time with the blond girl in tenth grade. That worried us.”
“What’s your point, Dad?”
“You’re a jackass,” Renee announced to the whole restaurant. People turned to stare, but she didn’t stop there. “You have something wonderful, right in front of you, and you’re throwing it away by not taking the risk of being in a real, committed relationship. The least you can do is let your brother have a shot at her.”
“What?” Dave asked.
“You heard your mother.”
Dave cleared his throat. “She’s really not my type, Mom. She’s kinda bossy.”
“She’s not bossy, Dave.” Jake turned and shot his parents a defiant look that mirrored the ones he’d given them as a teenager. “And you two only like her because of who she is.”
George pointed an aggressive finger at Jake. “Don’t talk to your mother like that. Yes, we respect her as a dancer. She’s a very talented ballerina, but that has nothing to do with it. Waitress! Bring me another beer so I don’t sock my son!”
Both Dave and Jake hid their faces in their hands. Their parents were never known for tact.
“What we’re saying is you obviously really like her or you wouldn’t have locked yourselves in the office together a couple of weeks ago. Oh, dear!” Renee turned to her husband. “Do you think that’s why she wouldn’t come out with us tonight? She’s embarrassed about having sex with our son?”
“We haven’t had sex. And, could you please keep your voices down. I told her where we were going tonight, and she said she might join us.”
Jake’s thoughts wandered to the outfit she had worn earlier. The slit on the knee-length skirt didn’t look too daring until she sat down at her desk. Then it opened to reveal the thigh highs and garter belt she wore beneath. And the red high heels! He almost swallowed his tongue when he saw them.
