Can
a sexy soldier convince her to give love another chance?
Her tummy behaved like a python curving around a
tree, twisting and squeezing, and her impulsive streak got the best of her. She
leaned over by Chase’s ear. “Wait a couple of minutes and meet me at the
ladies’ room. I’ll be waiting just inside the door.” She stood up and grabbed
her purse. “Little girls’ room,” she said before walking off without looking
back.
As Jessica entered the restroom, a woman exited
one of the three stalls and headed to the sink to wash her hands. Jessica
checked the other stalls, relieved to find them empty. She stood behind the
other woman, pretending to check her makeup in the mirror. Hurry up…please, hurry.
Jessica stood in front of the mirror and played
with her hair while the woman finished up and dried her hands. As she exited,
another woman entered. Shit! I guess this
was ill-advised. Jessica ducked out of the bathroom, finding Chase waiting
just outside the door. She froze in her tracks and pointed behind her back with
her thumb. “Occupied.”
“Yeah, a public bathroom is kinda… I already
called us a cab. Let’s go to my place.”
A chill ran up her spine as she admired how well
Chase filled out his cream-colored pullover sweater and gray slacks. Saliva
filled her mouth, and she swallowed to keep from drooling. “What should we
say?”
“I already made an excuse about having a
stomachache and needing to go home.” He pulled out his phone. “Add your number.
I’ll sneak out the back while you go sit back down. Finish your water, and when
our ride gets here, I’ll text you. Then you tell the table a friend needs you
and leave.”
Jessica’s smiled. “You’re a fast thinker.”
A grin spread across his face, and he shrugged.
“See you in five to ten.”
“Count on it,” she replied before hurrying back
to the table.
She sat down and asked, “Where’d the captain
go?”
“Aw, poor Cappy got a tummy ache and had to go
bye-bye,” Brent said with a laugh. “Some guys just can’t hold their booze like
the rest of us.” A big goofy smile lit up his face.
What a
dork.
Derrick spoke up. “Oh, he said to tell you he
paid your bill. Something about owing you one.”
“Yeah,” she said without elaborating. Jessica
sipped her water, hoping her face didn’t give her away. She bantered with
Derrick and Brent, holding her own while keeping one eye on her watch. As for
Ryan and Tanner, they might as well have been at a table for two in some
secluded area because after a couple of rounds, they didn’t seem to notice
anyone else in the room.
Jessica’s heart was already in her throat by the
time her cell sounded off, and like an idiot, she jumped. Smooth girl, super smooth. Slicking a stray strand of hair behind
her ear, she reached in her purse and got out her phone, making a big show of
looking at her text. “Oh sorry, guys. My friend needs me. She works just down
the road, so I’ll just walk on over.” She grabbed her wallet and left ten
dollars for Amelia. She wasn’t sure how well Chase had tipped, and after
working as a server all through high school and college, she understood the
importance of leaving a full twenty percent.
She hightailed it outside and found Chase
waiting for her by a running cab. “Ready to go?”
“Yep.”
He opened the door for her. She hopped in and
then scooted over to the far side, allowing him to get in next to her. Jessica
put on her seat belt while he closed the door. He cupped her cheek, surprising
her, and she gasped just before he leaned in and placed a tiny peck on her
lips.
She closed her eyes, relishing the smoothness of
his soft lips. Goose bumps lifted the tiny hairs on her arms, and she shivered.
“Where to?” the driver asked.
Chase hesitated, looking Jessica in the eye.
“You sure about this? I can have him take you home and call you tomorrow.”
Her brain cried out yes! But her pussy told it to shut the fuck up. Jessica reached up,
grabbed Chase’s face with both hands, and pulled him in for another smooch.
Their lips locked, and their heads turned as they deepened the kiss, their
tongues twirling and twisting. After she broke away to catch her breath, Chase
answered the cabbie with his address.
