Chapter Ten

Bud’s was a bar and grill on the main street in Lakeside that looked like it wanted to appeal to everyone, and from the number of tables filled, it did. It was part sports bar, part neighborhood pub, part family diner. Huge pictures of local sports teams hung behind the bar, and tall pub-style tables and chairs filled that side of the large room. At least a dozen huge flat-screens were hung on the walls. Sports games played on the ones closer to the bar. The screens at the other end of the room played cartoons and do-it-yourself shows.

“I can’t wait to see what Ethan Bradford comes back with after those posts.” Ginny laughed as they were seated at a pub table by the bar. “Are you hungry? I’m starving.”

“Me, too. I’ve been stripping wallpaper all day, remember?” Anita studied Ginny, her wide grin and bright eyes. “You’re having a ball with this campaign, aren’t you?”

“I am. And I feel like I’m making a difference.”

“I think you are. Do you handle the online work for the company?”

“Yeah, but there’s only so much I can do with the company’s page and website. This is more fun. The work stuff is kinda boring.”

“Have you thought about posting some fun things on the company page? There must be funny things that happen around the place. Human-interest stuff. Maybe unusual things that get salvaged? Feature some of the funky and unique items in your showroom.”

“Why didn’t I think of that? I’ll run it by Noah and Aunt Donna, but I bet they’ll love it. Thanks.”

The waitress came over, and after Anita ordered an apple martini and Ginny a frozen margarita, Anita cleared her throat. “Can I ask you something?”

“Sure.”

“The first time we met, you were quite confrontational. You obviously didn’t like me. What happened to change your mind? I mean, I assume you’ve changed your mind.”

“Yeah, sorry about that.” Ginny’s cheeks pinked, and she lifted a shoulder. “We’re kinda protective of the guys. You know, they haven’t had the best luck with women. But then you agreed to let Noah do the work on your house, and you didn’t have to, especially when you found out about the publicity for his campaign. And I could tell he liked you. I realized he’s a big boy, and I wouldn’t be happy if he tried to get between me and a guy I liked. If there were ever a guy around here I liked.”

“You don’t need a guy to be happy, you know.”

“Thank goodness, because I’d be downright miserable.” Ginny took a sip of her margarita. “Still, I miss the snuggling, you know? Long kisses. Hard muscles.”

“Come on, you can say it.” Anita winked. “Sex. Who doesn’t miss sex?”

Ginny giggled and glanced around. “Yeah. Sex. I miss sex.”

“How long has it been?”

“Two years,” Ginny whispered. “How long for you?” Then her cheeks turned bright red. “Oh yeah.”

“Nothing to be embarrassed about.” Anita glanced at her watch. “About…eighteen hours?”

“Here’s to sex.” Ginny took a deep drink, and Anita joined her.
