Chapter Seventeen

Levi picked me up for the bonfire at seven the next Saturday night. I smiled when I saw him in his jeans and navy hoodie. He looked so handsome. I couldn’t believe he was interested in me. I wore a long gray sweater, black leggings and my knee high black riding boots.

With wide eyes he took in my outfit. “Wow, you look hot.”

I blushed. “You look pretty hot yourself.” I grabbed my gray toboggan from the counter. He took it from me and tugged it on over my head.

He situated my hair over my shoulders and said, “Perfect.”

I rolled my eyes. “Whatever. I look like a dork in this hat, but it’s too cold to go without it.”

He raised his brows. “You don’t look like a dork. You look beautiful. I’m going to have to keep you close tonight so the other guys don’t get any ideas.” He leaned down and kissed the tip of my nose, and of course, I blushed.

We loaded up in his truck and headed to the lake for the bonfire. When we got there, Levi grabbed two blankets and an ice chest from the back seat of his truck.

“What’s in that?” I asked, pointing to the ice chest.

“Hot dogs, for roasting.”

“I haven’t roasted hot dogs since I was a kid. It reminds me of the one camping trip my parents took me on.” I smiled, remembering the good time we’d had.

He looked down at me, his face unreadable. “Did you like camping?”

“I did. I can remember the smell of the campfire and the noise of the crickets chirping in the trees. It wasn’t something we normally did, so it was nice.”

He grinned, quite amused at my answer and I already knew what he was thinking. “I can see the wheels turning in your head, Levi,” I said with a laugh.

“What?” he asked innocently. I tilted my head and waited. “Okay, I would love to take you camping with me. I was trying to think of a Saturday I could take off work.”

The image of us together in a tent popped in my head and I smiled. “Maybe,” I said softly.

I looked around and saw a number of people from the nursery were already gathered around the roaring bonfire. Levi put our stuff down on the sand, and we went to mingle.

I met Zach, Levi’s friend since childhood, who was also Sydney’s husband. He seemed really nice and told me a few stories of him and Levi growing up. It seemed they were a couple of carefree boys, always riding their bikes, swimming, and fishing. It was great to see them together, laughing, and remembering old times. Sydney looked like she was about to give birth on the sand. “Whoa there, momma. Are you sure you have another month?” I asked, patting her belly. I’d grown to really like Sydney, and I guess seeing her swollen belly almost every day helped me get over most of the pain I’d felt around pregnant women. I was thankful for that.
