Chapter Twenty-One

Jax

I was halfway to Mina’s house for dinner, when Buck Cherry’s screaming ringtone broke me out of my thoughts. I looked for the phone on the seat and answered.

“Hello?”

“Dude. Meet us at Rowdy’s tonight,” said Trent.

I shook my head. “No, can’t. Have a date.”

He laughed. “With that hot blonde?”

I went to respond when I realized something. “What blonde?” I asked, testing him.

“Damn, dude, how many blondes you got? Hello… that British chick with the nice ass.”

“You sure you don’t mean little miss platinum blonde Playboy bunny you sent into my shop?” There was silence on the other end so I continued, “I mean, you should have just kept her for yourself. She’s not my type.”

Trent finally spoke. “What are you talking about, man? I didn’t send no chick to your shop.”

“What? Yes you did, her name was Heather something or other. Blonde, drives a gold Lexus, total ditz. I kept expecting to see a little Chihuahua dog pop out of her purse.”

“Seriously, bro. I didn’t send no girl to your shop. Girls like that don’t talk to me.”

I huffed, still not sure I believed him. “She said you were in her History class or something.”

He laughed. “Well there you go. I don’t take History. I’m done with all those undergraduate bullshit classes. My degree is gonna be in Sports and Wellness so all my classes are those types of things. Don’t you listen to a word I tell you?” he joked.

“Huh. All right then… anyway, got a date, yes, with the hot British girl. So have fun at Rowdy’s and tell Gabe I said hey.”

“Catch ya later, man,” Trent said, then hung up.

I realized I was now sitting in front of Mina’s house. I was trying to think of where I put that damned business card that bimbo gave me, because I was so going to call her and ask her again who the hell sent her to my shop. It was just weird. I remember at the time getting the odd feeling like the girl was setting me up for something, but I couldn’t put my finger on it. After she had drove off in her shiny little car, I had chalked it up to Trent playing a joke on me. Trent’s a practical joker, but he always owns up to his jokes, so I believed him when he said he didn’t send her over. Maybe there was another Trent or maybe I heard her wrong. Did I care enough? Not sure. I’d decide later if, and when, I found that damn card.

I reached over and grabbed not only a bouquet of flowers, but a bottle of red wine, too. I liked to think I was becoming less of a Neanderthal.

I rang her doorbell, balancing the flowers in the crook of my tattooed arm, the bottle of wine in the fist of the same hand. Mina answered the door almost immediately, her big blue eyes smiling up at me.

She had on a short red dress and her straight blonde hair was in two low ponytails on either side of her head.
