Chapter Four

Brett was back on the highway, and the traffic had picked up as they began heading into New Orleans. The sheriff had decided against ticketing him. Instead, she asked if Grace could take a picture of them, which she was happy to do in lieu of getting a ticket for performing lewd acts in public. Brett had also autographed a Chick-fil-A napkin for the sheriff’s son before climbing back into the SUV.

Grace waited until they were going at a reasonable speed before she burst out laughing. He loved the sound of her laughter. He joined in, too.

“You know you almost got me arrested, right?” He tried to look innocent.

“What? I was just trying to cross that off on your bucket list.”

“You know good and well getting arrested is not on my bucket list!”

“Oh, I must have gotten yours mixed up with Tia’s.” She slapped his thigh.

“Ow! What was that for?”

“For being a smart ass!”

“Yeah, but I’m your smart ass.”

He tossed it out there, wanting to see what her response would be. Would she be willing to discuss their future and explore the possibilities of them having a relationship, or would she try to down-play what she had disclosed earlier about wanting him.

“So, I’ve decided on a way that I can have fun and still keep my self-respect.” Grace’s voice held a teasing air as she looked at him.

So she was going to down-play it; disappointing, but not altogether unexpected. He knew she tended to gloss over things she didn’t want to discuss, especially if they involved relationships. Ordinarily it would have pissed him off, but they were passing over Lake Pontchartrain and even her unwillingness to discuss her earlier admission of wanting him could not tamp down the excitement he started to feel.

It had been years since he’d last been to Mardi Gras. There was something magical about the event, something that made you lose your inhibitions. He would use that to his advantage. No matter how she wanted to sweep them under the rug, he would eventually win her over. Hell, she was already his, anyway, even if she was crazy as hell.

She’d shown him a side of her personality he never knew existed. He was actually turned on by her descent into madness. Sure, it pissed him off that she was being irrational and acting jealous, but he realized, even if she was too stubborn to acknowledge it, she was only being that way because she cared for him.

She wasn’t able to discuss a relationship with him right now and that was okay. She’d given him all the encouragement he needed to stay the course. He decided to take the verbal olive branch she was extending and went along with this new topic.

“Oh, really, and just how are you going to have fun at Mardi Gras and still keep your self-respect? If I’m not mistaken, the reason we are here is so you can lose some of that self-respect.” He chuckled as she scowled at him.

Damn, she was cute, her pretty eyes and thick, suck-able lips could turn him to mush.
