Chapter Eight

“You seem in a much perkier mood,” Ryan said.

“I am.” Jax picked up the mango and gave the flesh a little squeeze, finding it just ripe enough.

“I’m shocked you asked us to go grocery shopping with you,” Lily said, coming up beside him with her own shopping cart.

“I felt it was time for a change, and, seeing as I have a girlfriend now, I do have to impress her.”

“Wait? What?” Lily asked. “When did he get a girlfriend?”

“Did it work out with Dani?”

“Yes, it worked out. She plays hard to get, but I know what I’m after and I know how to play just as hard to get what I want.” He picked up a lemon. It had been so long since he made lemon pudding, but now he couldn’t get the thought out of his head. Checking through his list, he moved the cart to the chili section and went straight for lots of jalapeno and cilantro. The herbs were right there with the jalapeno. His mom used to grow her own. He’d been a giant momma’s boy.

“Will someone please tell me what the hell is going on?” Lily asked.

“I thought you told her everything?”

“I do but the important stuff.”

“The quick version. Dani is my roommate. She also likes to work out on the stripper pole I have installed.”

“She’s a stripper?”

“Not even close. We made out. I like her. We’ve got an agreement. No sex, but we can have foreplay for the next month. We’re seeing if we fit and make a good match. Also, I think she’s seeing if I can be faithful. During that time, we’re going to date. I’m making her dinner. I already showed her my mom’s meatloaf, and believe me I think it helped me seal the deal.”

“Your mom’s meatloaf? You won’t even cook that for us.”

“I know. It was a bit of a shock to realize what I was making, but before I could second guess myself it was already in the oven. It’s amazing how these things work out.”

“Jax, honey, are you really sure about this?”

“I am. I enjoyed cooking for her, and it feels right to do it again. That’s why I’m with you guys grocery shopping.”

“This girl must really mean something to you to be cooking like you used to when we were younger. I’ve not seen you cook in so long, Jax,” Lily said.

He shrugged.

The truth was, he didn’t see himself cooking so soon again either. It had come as a shock when he found himself in the kitchen getting back into the swing of things. In a weird way, he felt like he was doing something right. Looking through his cupboard this very morning, he’d been a little embarrassed by what he’d found or what he’d not found. So that’s why he was having a complete overhaul of his food supplies. Fresh vegetables and fruits were in his trolley. Next was some meat. Beef, lamb, and chicken were his favorites. Pork had a place but was not something he intended to use regularly.
