Janie fell asleep around noon, so I decided that now would be a good time to visit with Sam. I picked up tacos after getting the order from Sam.
“Hey, is it all right if I come by the shop?” I asked him
“Yes, why wouldn’t it be ok? Have you eaten yet?” he said in reply.
“No, I was thinking about getting tacos. Do you want anything?”
“Yea, just get me whatever you are getting times two.” He answered.
“Alright, I’ll be there in a little bit.” I said to him before hanging up.
I ordered our lunch, and then headed to Free.
I happened to look into my rear view mirror and see a red compact following me, but didn’t think much of it until she turned down Second St. which was the fourth turn that I had noticed them taking with me.
I pulled into Free and the car passed by, but I still had an uneasy feeling so I decided to tell Sam anyway. I drove up close to the bay doors and hopped out leaving it idling. I walked up to Max since he was the first one I spotted and said, “Is it alright if I pull the truck in? Janie is sleeping and I don’t want to take her out, but I want to have some shade over here so it’s easier for her to sleep.”
“Yea, just pull in here, there’s plenty of room.” He said.
I nodded then pulled into the garage and shut the truck off. About that time Sam came out from the office with his phone to his ear. He sounded like he was arguing with someone, so I waited until he was through to go to him. He wrapped me up in a hug and I leaned my head against his chest breathing in deeply. Gosh he sure did smell good. Like fresh detergent, and some man body wash. I took another sniff thinking I needed to steal one of his t-shirts after he wore it all day.
“Are you sniffing me?” he rumbled out.
“You know that Febreeze commercial, the one where the people are playing charades and the guy is lying on the floor, and the people are trying to guess what he is?” I said to him.
“No. Don’t watch much TV.” He told me.
“Well, in the commercial he is sniffing the carpet, and he smells so good. He just stays there, and keeps sniffing, all the while the people around him are shouting out their guesses. Well that’s what I feel like doing to you right now. You smell so good. I need to see if they make a candle of the way you smell.” I said distractedly while still smelling him.
“Weirdo.” He said but didn’t make me stop.
“Yes, this is one of the more normal things that I do. Just you wait.” I smiled and said.
“I will wait with bated breath.”
“I also like the smell that comes out of the air conditioner just after you start the truck.” I said.
“What smell? There is no smell.” He asked.
“There is too! I’ll point it out to you next time! MAX!” I yelled
Max came out of the office and said, “What?”
“Tell Sam that there is a smell that comes out of the air conditioner right after you start the truck.”
“Please God, not this argument again. Listen Sam, just say that there is. She and Ember argue about this at the beginning of every summer. It also gets physical. There is hair pulling, and name calling. It really isn’t worth it. Just say that there is.” He said rather emphatically.
“You can suck it, Max.” I said turning around to stomp off, but a hand came around me and pulled me roughly into a hard body.
“No one sucks you but me.” He growled into my ear.
I shivered and turned in his arms to give him a kiss. Then I remembered the red car.
“Ummm, on the way here there was a red car following me.” I said gently.
“Yes, I know. Jack already reported it. We will run the plates when Elliott calls us back.” He said, but before I could ask why he would already know, his phone rang. He answered while grabbing my hand and pulling me into the office. Sam spoke for quite a while in between bites of tacos. I ate mine, and glanced through the office window to the truck to make sure Janie wasn’t awake every couple of minutes or so. After about twenty minutes, I forgot about wanting to ask him about how he already knew, and instead focused on playing angry Birds on my phone.
His phone call ended about an hour after I arrived. I was reading a new erotic romance novel by that time. When I had looked up earlier, he was sorting through some papers at his desk, but not even two seconds later I noticed him reading over my shoulder. I didn’t actually realize this; otherwise I would have closed the book because I was in a particular steamy scene with two couples having sex. While in the throes of some steamy sex, the hero was asking the heroine if she had ever had anal sex, and I started squirming in my seat.
“Do you want to do this?” Sam asked from close behind my right shoulder.
I squeaked and spun around in the chair to see Sam squatted down beside my chair just enough that he could read what I was reading. My face flamed and I just stared at him in shock.
Finally able to find my wits, I said “Want to do what?”
“What that couple was about to do in that scene. Is that something that interests you?” he asked a different way.
I thought for a couple minutes about what he was asking. Was I interested in that? I sure didn’t mind reading about it, but actually doing it? Who the hell knows?
“Umm…..I don’t really know. You are the sum of my sexual experience. I really wouldn’t know until we tried.” I finally admitted.
“I’ll keep that in mind.” He said while grabbing my hand and pulling me into the shop.
