Chapter Nine

Tucker

“Wanna grab a beer?”

I tossed my hard hat into my truck and shrugged off my fluorescent vest. “I think I’m just gonna head home.” It had been a long fucking day and all I wanted to do was sit on my couch and pass out.

“Come on, it’s Thursday.”

I looked at Chase, my foreman. “Not sure what that has to do with me going out tonight.”

“Dollar off beers and pull tabs,” he explained.

I shook my head. “Maybe next week, brother.”

“That’s how it’s gonna be? You buy a house and suddenly you’re wanting to stay home all of the time and can’t go out?”

I slid into my truck and slammed the door shut. “No, it’s called you worked me to the fucking bone today and I just want to go home to pass out.”

Chase flipped me off. “Whatever. I just made sure you actually earned that paycheck today.”

I shook my head and cranked up the truck. “Later, Chase.”

When I had driven to work this morning I had thought of stopping to get something for dinner to take over to Nova’s, but I was too beat to even think about stopping.

Last night after we had settled on the couch, we watched one of the Transformer movies, and didn’t really say much. I didn’t feel like I needed to fill the silence when I was with Nova. Something about her no holds barred attitude was probably intimidating to most, but I liked it. It was refreshing to have someone tell me exactly how it was.

She was confused as hell about what was going on with us, and I was right there with her.

I pulled into my driveway and saw that her car was parked in front of her garage.

I regretted not stopping to get something to bring over for dinner as soon as I saw her sitting out on her front porch.

She raised her hand in a slight wave as I slipped out of the truck.

“Hey,” she called. She stood up and moved to the edge of the porch. “I was just going to put a steak on the grill. Wanna join me?”

My steps faltered. Well hell, I guess I didn’t need to stop for dinner after all. “You sure you got enough?”

“Two big ribeye. I went to the grocery store today so I’m all stocked up on food. Ribeye, baked potatoes, and salad sound good?”

It sounded like fucking heaven. “Sounds good. I just gotta shower and I’ll be right over.”

She nodded her head and disappeared into her house.

My steps were lighter and I didn’t feel as exhausted as I walked into the house. I had been thinking it was going to take a hell of a lot for Nova to get over thinking I was an asshole, but it had to be a good sign that she invited me over for dinner.

That was what I was going to tell myself.
