Chapter Thirteen

I half expected to find Bridget long gone by the time I got outside, but I was gratified to find her standing on the sidewalk corner, smoking. Only she wasn’t alone. I swear that girl was like a guy magnet. How did she manage to draw them so quickly? Almost immediately I recognized Rob from inside and I relaxed a little. At least it wasn’t a total stranger.

“Hi guys.” It felt good to be out in the cold night air, even though my legs were scantily clad.

“Hey An, you don’t have to take me home after all, Bob here is gonna come get some blueberry pancakes with me,” Bridget clung to his arm, mostly for balance as near as I could tell.

“It’s Rob,” he corrected her mildly. “And actually, what I said was, I’d see you both home safely. No mention was made of pancakes, blueberry or otherwise.”

“You can get chocolate chip pancakes if you want,” she amended, and I jumped in before he had a chance to change his mind.

“Thanks all the same, Rob, but it’s not necessary. I can make sure she gets home alright.”

“Still, I’ll sleep better tonight if I know you’re both home safe,” he insisted. “I’ve got a car right around the corner. I’ll be back in two shakes, yeah?”

“I’ll wait to shake it ‘til you get back,” Bridget grinned sloppily. Maybe it would be easier to get her home in a car in the shape she was in. How many boilermakers did she have?

“Thanks Rob.” I gave him a nod over the top of her head and he strode off with a whistle.

“Dibs on the Brit, you can have the Russkie,” Bridget called out before he was even out of earshot.

“I’m not in the market for any nationality, so knock yourself out,” I replied quietly.

“Could have fooled me, you were practically in that guy’s lap.”

“I was not!”

“It’s okay. It’s a cinch he’s not my type if he’s into the virginal thing.”

“I’m not a… I’m not having this conversation with you.” I darted a look around, hoping like hell no one was listening.

“Whatever. We both know you’ve had your knees pressed so tightly together you’re practically a nun. Shotgun!” she called out as Rob’s car came into view. It was nice, a newer black Audi, and I hoped Bridget didn’t end up getting sick in it, that might cure him of his Good Samaritan tendencies.

I listened from the back as they chatted up front, Bridget flirting shamelessly with him and Rob firing it right back at her. It was a little strange, but I’d almost gotten the impression he wasn’t particularly interested in her before, but he seemed very into her now. Rob was a perfect gentleman when we arrived, opening the doors for each of us and escorting us to the front door.

Bridget waited in the vestibule for him to follow. “You’re not coming up?” she blinked in surprise.

“I think I’d better call it a night. Call me when you’re closer to conscious
