Dreama’s Diary–January 6
Henry had the truck and my Chevy failed inspection. It needed new brakes. I also needed to take Ana back to the doctor. He wanted to make sure her ear infection had cleared, so he told me to make an appointment next week. I had a lot to fit into my schedule.
“Do you think you can drive Ana and I to the doctor if my car is still in the shop?” I asked Stephanie, although I hated asking.
“Sure,” she said, “Then we can go shopping. I know a great little store downtown. There is an outfit that I saw that would look cute on you. It is peach, though. I can’t wear that color. Can you?”
Stefan had just sat down at the counter. He had heard our conversation. Usually I notice him before he enters. He snuck in today.
“Is Ana sick?” he asked.
“No, it is just a check-up,” I answered, moving toward him. I wanted him all to myself.
“Where do you have to go for her appointment?”
“The Oceanside Clinic.”
“That is part of my delivery route,” he explained. “I’ll take you when you need to go.”
“You would really go with me?”
“Sure.”
“I’d appreciate that.”
He was fit and athletic, and he was so nice. That conversation wowed me, and if I could keep my physical attraction under control, I’d find a much needed friend in him. Though if I was in his car, could I keep my composure? I’m sure my mind might expect more from this. What if nothing happened between us? Or worse, what if something did?
“Just let me know when it is,” he assured me. “I’ll be glad to take you.”
“Thanks.”
I brought him his usual and then snuck away to speak to Stephanie.
“Maybe I should say that the appointment is on Saturday and then I’d tell him it is at the Comfort Inn.”
“You are such a bad girl,” Stephanie teased. “Go use the copy machine and get it over with.”
I know I won’t be able to sleep tonight.
