Chapter Three

THAT AFTERNOON ON the walk home we were laughing at something one of her patients had done. Suddenly she changed the subject. “So, you have any plans tonight?”

I just looked up at her and gave a Cheddar grin. She laughed, “Let me guess, it’s ladies night again, right?”

“Yes ma’am. I plan on spending the evening getting acquainted with a little pool, a little beer, and a little dancing.”

She laughed at the wistful look on my face. “Yeah, among other things I’m sure.” Shaking her head at my sheepish look, she continued. “I’m glad Robin is finally available, I think we’re going to hit Kipper’s tonight too.”

I perked up, though hopefully it wasn’t too noticeable. “Really?” I gave her a little teasing poke in the ribs as we made our way up the winding stairs in our building. “You better come over and say hi to me when you get there.”

She poked me back as I was trying to get the key in my door. I jumped and cursed as I missed the hole before stepping close and lining up again. “Whatever! I’m sure you’ll be busy by the time we get there. You usually have enough girls floating around you that you probably won’t even notice us.”

I stopped and turned back toward her when I got my door open. I gave her an honest smile. “But, Darlin, none of those other girls will be you! I always have time for my friends so you better come over and say hi to me when you get in. Ok?”

She smiled back and got an unreadable look on her face. “Alright, but you have to promise me one thing.”

“What’s that?”

She gave me a devious smirk and I almost instantly regretted whatever was going to come out of her mouth. “I want one dance with you. And you better not be too tired either, because I can promise you’re going to have a hard time keeping up with me!”

Even though her flirting seriously threw me for a loop, I valiantly tried not to show it. I leaned toward her, so close we were practically breathing the same air. I could see the look in her stormy blue eyes and I know she was feeling at least some of what was going through me. I lightly tapped her nose with my finger to cut some of the tension. “It’s a deal. Oh, by the way, I think I can handle anything you dish out, Miss Brower, so bring it on!” I winked at her and backed away through my door. “See you tonight, Jen.”

I wasn’t sure why, but I was nervous while getting ready to go out that night. I even lingered in the shower, which was something I never do. And I took a long time to pick out my outfit, settling on a pair of low rise button fly jeans, a white tank top and a brown leather belt with a cool buckle I picked up in Texas the year before. I topped the outfit off with a pair of sandals.
