Ethan

“Hey, Pop.” I grinned as he groaned. I knew it’d drive him nuts.

“I’m not that old.” He leaned against the car I’d been working on and his hand reached up to stroke the scruff he’d recently acquired. He must’ve been having second thoughts about the beard he’d decided to grow because he kept touching it.

“It’s not about being old.” I finished cleaning up my tools and went back over to the car. “It’s about me not being able to call you Dad after that little blonde last week giggled and called you Daddy.”

He’d blushed five shades of red and had gaped at her openmouthed as she’d waved, calling out a thanks.

He groaned. “That was…I’m not…”

“Whoever you love and whatever form that takes is okay with me. Now pass me a Coke.” That had been his exact quote to me when as a kid I’d told him that I thought the boy next door was hot.

Later, I’d gotten a lecture about how he didn’t care how hot the sixteen-year-old next door was, I couldn’t flirt with him. Evidently, Dad thought at twelve I was too young to date. He’d been right, but he’d made me so mad I hadn’t talked to him for days.

“That kid was too old.” Then he glanced toward the office where a few customers milled around and shook his head. “And that girl was too young.”

I grinned. “She wasn’t jailbait. She’s been coming here for too long to be too young.”

I’d loved watching her flirt with the mechanics back when I’d been working at the shop full time. She’d caught on real quick that I wasn’t her target market and had switched to the guys. They’d had fun smiling and making her giggle, but it never went past that. Evidently, she hadn’t seen Dad in a while and thought he’d make a sexy Daddy.

His brows pulled together, and he huffed. “No, just no.”

That line from English class about the lady protesting too much flashed through my head.

“It’s not my business.” I held up my hands in surrender as he growled at me. Yup, Daddy material all the way.

“There’s no business.”

“ Suuuure .” I laughed as his hand swung out to cuff my shoulder. Jumping back, I grinned. “Looks like Daddy’s getting slow.”

Laughter came from the back of the shop as the guys watched, thoroughly entertained. Most of them had caught his reaction when she’d called him Daddy, and they wouldn’t forget it anytime soon. Vinnie called out as he walked over, almost done with his shift. “The little blonde hottie? She in again? I swear, that girl has more car troubles than anyone I’ve ever seen.”

To me, his slow Southern drawl never matched up with what Christopher would call his biker look. That accent was supposed to be on a Southern gentleman, not a guy who preferred leather and tattoos.

“No, but every time I mention her, he blushes.” I laughed at Vinnie’s knowing nod. “He wondered why I called him Pop, not Dad.”

Vinnie laughed. “Oh yeah, I think Pops is a safer bet.
