Chapter 16
Melody
After a restless sleepâplagued by skinny-dipping sex dreams starring Nick that make me wish Iâd been brave enough to take it all off at the lakeâIâm up early going through my finances, figuring out if I can afford to surprise my boyfriend.
My boyfriendâ¦
I canât remember ever being this excited to call someone my BF. But seriously, a thrill goes through me every time I so much as think the word in relation to Nick. Even though our date ended in disaster, I had so much fun with him yesterday, and I canât wait for our date tonight.
Seriously, I canât wait.
I have to see him soonerâhopefully with good news.
After a little creative budgeting, I feel confident I can swing the impound lot fees and head into work to prep appetizers for an intimate wedding Lark and Aria are catering without me tonight.
By four, Iâm finished in the kitchen, and by four thirty, Iâm pulling up in front of the tattoo shop in the Midget, grinning as I spot Nick through the front window. Heâs talking to a man at the counter, but as soon as he sees the Midge, his eyes widen, and his jaw drops. He says something to his customer, and then he hops over the counter in one fluid motion that sends a zing of awareness sizzling down my spine.
I definitely have it bad for this man.
Just watching him jump over stuff in a manly fashion is enough to make me tingle all over.
âWhat did you do?â he asks as I slide out of the car and slam the door behind me.
âI got your car back,â I say, grinning as I hold out the spare key John was good enough to drop by the Ever After kitchen this afternoon.
âYou shouldnât have done this,â Nick says, not looking nearly as pleased as Iâd hoped heâd be and not reaching out to take the key, either.
âI wanted to.â I shrug and let my arm drift back to my side.
âItâs too much, Mel.â He frowns at the car.
âNo, itâs not. I checked my budget for the month. I can make it work as long as I do dinner at my parentsâ place a few times. And they own several barbecue restaurants, so thereâs always extra food in their fridge. Itâs no big deal.â
Nick shakes his head, still looking displeased. âThree hundred dollars is a big deal.â
I prop my hands on my hips and keep smiling, refusing to let this gesture turn sour. âOkay, but wouldnât you have done the same for me? If it was my car that had been towed while we were on a date and you had the money to get it back for me?â
His brow furrows. âWellâ¦yeah. Of course. Butââ
âNope. No buts.â I hold out the key again. âIf you donât accept my help and say thank you and be happy, youâll just prove youâre a sexist jerk. And you donât want to be a sexist jerk. Theyâre the worst.â
âYeah. They are.â He laughs, and my heart flutters happily in my chest in response.
