Chapter 8

The doorbell rang right at 12:00 on the dot, right on time. Kale was either punctual or eager, either way Ronnie liked it.

She opened the door and was surprised to see a grey Army sweatshirt and a worn pair of jeans on Kale. His face was scruffy, which she preferred, and a black beanie with the word Army across the front covered up his short high and tight haircut. This was the first time she had seen him in anything less than model ready, but he was flirting with the line of sexy in an I-don’t-have-to-try kind of way. He looked cozy and casual and damn it, he looked good.

“Would you like me to come in so you can undress me with your hands instead of your eyes?” Kale teased.

“Ha ha, funny. Let’s go smartass,” she said, reaching for her coat that was on the bench in the entryway.

“You look beautiful by the way.”

She looked down at her typical pants of choice, only these jeggins were a dark denim wash and her typical high heel pumps were replaced with a pair of black knee high boots, and yes, they were also high heels. Her top was a simple sheer black button up blouse with a gold studded skull and angel wings on the back.

She didn’t feel particularly beautiful today, especially after her internal emotional epiphany and the multiple shots of Patron she went through last night, but her pulse sped up at his words just the same.

“Um, thanks.”

Kale waited for Ronnie on the front patio while she locked up. She could feel him behind her and a part of her wanted to take him up on his offer and pull him in her house and undress him.

“Ready?” he asked when she slipped the keys into her purse. Was she ready for a four-hour road trip to visit his grandmother’s grave just to turn around and drive four hours back? Fuck no. But for the first time in a long time, she held her tongue. She wanted to do this for him.

“Yep.”

Kale opened the passenger side door of a huge black truck and Ronnie was sure she was going to need a step stool to get into it. She eyed Kale as he stepped aside so she could climb in. She wouldn’t have expected anything less than a gentleman from Captain America himself.

“How the fuck did I get into this damn thing the other night after I had been drinking?” She latched on to the ‘oh shit’ handle and pulled herself up into the cab.

“It was quite entertaining,” he chuckled, shutting the door and jogging around to the driver’s side and sliding in.

Ronnie looked down at the dark grey leather that stretched between them making the possibility of sliding over right next to him extremely easy. “Bench seat, huh?”

“I see where you mind is going.” Kale lifted his lips in that sexy ass smirk that drilled a dimple into his cheek. “All in good time, Sweetheart, all in good time.”

Yeah right, if he kept looking at her like that, all in good time would turn into right now.
