Jive

Dancing by himself in the middle of the floor, he jumped, bounced, and spun. Annoyed at his arrogance, she slid beside him and matched his every flick and point. He grabbed her by the waist and spun her around. She ran from him and he snapped her back like a rubber band. The music broke and he released his hold on her. She trotted off the floor, counting the minutes until they could boogie again.

Chapter Fifteen

After checking in and dropping Banjo in the hotel room, Bret and Selena pulled up to Mustards Grill in Napa. His father had always taken him here when he was a boy. It was his favorite restaurant—just good, hardy, all-American food without a hint of pretension.

The drive over had been pleasant but awkward. Sure, Selena now placed her hand on his leg while he drove and they bonded over idle talk about how much they missed each other, but they still hadn’t had the difficult conversation. Bret knew Selena had deep feelings for him. That was clear. But was he just a rebound? Could she really give up her world of celebrity for the simple life of a Marine Corps wife? Was she ready to start a family?

Bret was determined to find out.

“Bret, I love this place. So rustic. What are you having?”

“The calamari and the hangar steak. And a beer. You?”

Selena perused the menu. “A burger sounds good. I’ll have the mushroom and spinach burger.”

Bret laughed. “You realize that’s not actually a burger right? It’s made out of vegetables.”

“Oh I know. I just haven’t eaten meat in, like, five years.”

Bret sighed. A vision of future family dinners made with tofu and tempeh flashed before him. Bret loved to barbeque chicken, ribs, hot dogs, and burgers with his buddies. But he’d be happy to throw some zucchini on the grill to make her happy.

A cute waitress stopped by the table and took their order. She raised an eyebrow when she saw Selena but if she recognized her, she didn’t let on.

They held hands across the table and made plans for the weekend. Bret wanted to take a long bike ride the next morning. Selena wanted to book a couples massage in the afternoon, which Bret agreed to as long as he had a female masseuse. He didn’t want some dude rubbing his hands all over him.

The waitress delivered the calamari and Selena’s salad, with dressing on the side.

Bret pierced a crunchy calamari ring with his fork. He watched as Selena dipped her fork first into the dressing and then scooped up a piece of lettuce.

“What are you doing?”

“Oh, it’s a diet trick Vika taught me. Instead of pouring the dressing on your salad, you just dip your fork before every bite.”

Bret shook his head. “You realize how weird you are, right? You weigh barely a buck and you don’t have an ounce of fat on your body. How is a little dressing going to hurt you?”

Selena dipped her fork again in the dressing. “It’s not that simple.
