Chapter Thirteen

“Hey, Al!” Teryn gave him a big hug and he planted a sloppy kiss on her cheek.

“Girl, you glow! Man I only been gone a week! Don’t let that big ox in there keep you too busy to come see me, I need my dose of hotness, you know.”

Teryn was reminded how much she had missed his Southern attitude. Tall, slim, hips about as wide and flat as a stick of gum, Al was all personality, all the time. Southern boy with the sweet charm of a gay man solidly content with himself. Never missed a thing either, and wasn’t afraid to tell you so.

“Yeah, yeah, Al.” She laughed, wrapping an arm around his thin waist. “I know what kind of hotness you like. How is Derrin, by the way?” She grinned up at him as they walked.

He cocked his head at her in that sassy way, but the blush on his face told her he loved that she had asked. “Girl, you know I ain’t gonna kiss and tell, but I’ll just say he’s almost as hot as that little head of yours.”

“Whoo hoo. Good for you, Al, good for you.”

“Speakin’ of, you seem pretty damn happy.” He gave her a sly little glance out of the corner of his eye.

“Well, yeah. It’s all kind of, new. Fast, maybe, but it’s been good, yeah.” She nodded, knowing that much was true at least.

“So, what do you know?”

“What?” She nearly stopped walking, but recovered and kept moving in spite of the knot of tension that invaded her entire body at once.

“Grant. What do you know?” Al turned away, voice low so she almost didn’t hear the words.

“Exactly why are you asking me that, Al?”

The look on his face made her think for a moment his face might turn an even deeper shade of near purple before his head exploded in front of her.

“Nothin’ particular, just wondered what you guys been doin’ all week, all that testosterone that man has, wondered where he’s been taking you. What you know about where this might be goin’.”

Every nagging oddity in the last few days crept up in her mind, and the obvious tension in Al pushed it to a whole new level. “That is a load of crap. What?”

He sighed. “Nothin’, Teryn. Grant is a good guy, and you look happy. Nothin’ else to tell.”

“You’re a lousy liar, Al.”

He sighed. “All right, all right. All I’m going to say is, be sure you know what you are getting yourself into, child. I have nothing bad to say about him, nothing at all, but he is who he is, and, well, sometimes who someone is makes what they do a little different.”

“You talking about racing? The adrenaline junkie? Mountain climbing, have to have the next thrill, Grant? Yeah, Al, I’ve got that one figured out, and I’m kind of preparing myself for it. Like I said, I’m having fun, and beyond that, I’m not putting a whole lot of stock into it. Okay?”
