Chapter Eight

“Why aren’t they leaving?” I asked, peeking between the horizontal blinds on my kitchen window.

“I don’t know, man. I told them everything you wanted me to,” Boomer replied.

“Your Captain America persona might be wearing thin…” I said, only halfway teasing. I’d sent Jack out to be my mediator between the media and the protesters, hoping that the combination of my licenses and passed inspections for all of the planes in my hangar and the word of America’s hero would be enough to get them to go away.

And yet…hours later…they were all still camped outside my museum.

“Sorry Player.”

I shrugged and dropped the blinds. “Not your fault.”

“What are you going to do next?” Holly asked.

“I have no idea…” The news vans had come and gone. They had my side of the story. I could only sit back and hope things would improve by morning.

The problem was that sitting back and waiting was not my favorite thing.

“You want to go out to eat?” Jack asked. It was his and Holly’s last night in town. In the morning, the plan was to get breakfast at Carly’s and then they’d be on their way up to the airport to fly back to Germany.

“Sure,” I replied, knowing that if I didn’t go with them, I’d end up staring out the window all night, willing the protesters to go home and never come back.

Jack got up from the table and clapped me on the shoulder on his way out of the kitchen. “You treating tonight, Player?”

I laughed. “First round’s on me.”

Holly gave a little whoop and we headed out to Harvey’s Bar and Grill, the best place to get a burger, beer, and chill.

Which, is exactly what we all did.

“So, Aaron, what’s up with you and Gemma?” Holly asked, once we were all seated, and halfway through the first pitcher of beer we’d ordered up. She gave me a wide smile.

“Damn, Boomer, I didn’t think anyone could give you a run for your money in the stubborn department, but you really met your match here, haven’t you?”

Holly laughed. “Like you should talk!”

I held up my hands. “All right, all right. Fair enough.”

“So…” she prompted.

Jack laughed and wrapped an arm around her. “She’s not gonna let it go.”

“I don’t know what you expect me to say. Is she hot? Sure! That’s about as much as I know. She’s a cool chick.”

“Cool chick?” Holly wrinkled her nose.

I laughed and dropped my head back, reveling in the easy, carefree atmosphere between the three of us. There was a band on stage, playing some unfamiliar—but pleasant—tunes, and it was packed with people who provided a backdrop of white noise with their chatter and laughter. After the stressful day spent in the confines of the empty museum, it was the break I needed.

“Holls, I don’t know what you want me to say. I’m not like you and Boomer here. I’m not gonna fall head over heels for some woman I just met.”

Holly didn’t look convinced. “So, what? You bang her and that’s it?”

I choked on my sip of beer, surprised by her blunt question.
