Chapter 11: Wyatt

As I paid for our picnic stuff, I couldn’t help but wonder if this was why I stopped seeing women more than once.

After all, for years, I had been content to love ‘em and leave them as efficiently as possible. And now I remembered why. Cause they were infuriating, opinionated, and hardheaded.

Except that wasn’t the whole story. It couldn’t be. Because a lot of the women I’d fooled around with in the last few years didn’t have that much going on between their ears. In fact, I’d say most of their brains weighed less than the vacant beehive I had to break off a chimney earlier that day.

So maybe it was only clever women who were more trouble than they were worth.

If I had to pin it down, I’d say the smartest woman I knew was my mother, followed by my sisters, followed by Austin’s wife Karen. And not surprisingly, they were all pretty much at the top of the list of women who did my head in.

Surely that was no coincidence.

But I’d never tolerated that kind of insolence from any woman that wasn’t family. So why was I doing it now?

I honestly didn’t see why I shouldn’t get in the car, drive Addison back to her cabin, and go home for a quiet night.

Okay, so that’s not true. I could think of one reason.

Her.

Despite how assumptive, rude, and self-centered she was, I was insanely attracted to her. I don’t know if it was just the Cherise thing and I was living out some adolescent fantasy or if there was more to it than that, but she was as tempting as a box of matches next to a pile of dry leaves and I just couldn’t walk away.

I sighed as I walked out the door of the grocer, concentrating so I wouldn’t drop the booze or the food, which was all rather precariously bagged by the cashier as if he were playing Tetris

The parking lot was empty except for two cars several spaces down from where Addison was leaning against my truck. Her red hair still shone brightly even though it was dusk, and she had a sheepish look on her face and a bag of ice at her feet.

I set the stuff down, unlocked the car, and pulled the cooler out of the backseat. “Can you bring me that ice?” I asked.

Addison waddled around the car holding the ice by the top of the bag, which caused her breasts to squeeze together so a hint of cleavage showed at the top of her shirt.

I opened the box of beer and put half of them in the bottom. Then I dumped half the ice in.

“Hey,” she said, putting a cold hand against my arm.

“What?” I asked, righting myself.

“I’m sorry.”

I stared at her green eyes. “It’s okay.”

“No, please,” she said. “I didn’t mean to imply you couldn’t afford a cheesecake.”

“I know,” I said. “You were just trying to be nice. I get it.”

“You know that’s all it was, right?”

“Sure.”

She sighed and dropped her hands at her sides.
