Chapter 7

Tuesday, Late Afternoon

“Aren’t you supposed to alternate the vegetables with the meat or shrimp?” Rebekah picked up another soaked bamboo skewer. Shaking it, she handed it to Kevin and watched as he speared a row of cherry tomatoes with accurate precision.

“You can, but cherry tomatoes are different,” he said. “These little babies only take a couple of minutes to cook, so you need to grill them separately.” He pointed to her half-loaded skewer. “It’s also good to keep the ingredients about the same size so they cook evenly, and you’ve done a great job with that. I hereby crown you a certified kabob specialist.”

Rebekah grinned in the way only she could, and it reached those beautiful green eyes. He could stare at her all day. So could every man in Louisiana, but he was learning to live with it. She was the type of woman who garnered attention without trying, even though he knew she didn’t like it.

“You’re pretty handy to have around,” she said. “Tell me, did they teach you how to load a kabob in engineering class at A&M?”

He cleared his throat and focused on his task. “Of course. They taught us things besides how to install a light bulb. My mom hoodwinked Tommy and me into helping her prepare kabobs once when we were kids.” He shrugged. “Guess I never forgot it.”

“Haven’t done it since?” Her smile teased, those luscious lips inviting.

“Not once. Until today. Must be like riding a bike.”

Rebekah shook her head. “I can’t see Tommy having the patience to make kabobs.”

“You’re right. He’d rather be eating them. By the way, he said to tell the lovely Rebekah hi.” Tommy adored Rebekah and kept pushing Kevin to ask her to join him in holy matrimony. He loved her all right, and knew in his heart she was the one, but he wasn’t ready to confess undying devotion until everything was in place for a permanent commitment—until he’d saved enough for a deposit on a house and a diamond ring. Even though they’d worked a few TeamWork missions together, they’d only dated a little over a year.

Using the back of her hand, Rebekah flipped her ponytail behind one shoulder. He preferred her hair loose and natural around her shoulders, but she looked incredible any way she wore it. It made more sense to wear it pulled back for a picnic and it might be too distracting if she wore it down. He watched as she speared a couple of shrimp.

“Here,” he said, handing her another skewer. “Use two for shrimp. It helps cook it evenly.” She watched as he demonstrated. “Sorry, Rebekah.” He handed it to her. “I’m getting annoying now, huh?” The last thing he wanted to be was annoying, but maybe he shouldn’t have left the question open-ended.

She shook her head. “You couldn’t be annoying if you tried. You’re like the guy next door, the favorite teacher, the cute pizza delivery guy and the crush from high school all rolled into one adorable package.
