章 7: Chapter 7

By the time Jeff arrived a couple of hours later,I was ready to go.Dad was on the way home and Pamela was driving me nuts.If I had to hear her talk about the latest cute boy in her class one more time,I was going to retch.

Mom slipped me a twenty as I headed out the door at the sound of Jeff’s horn.

I gave her a genuine smile.“Thanks!”

“Have a good night.You two be careful.”

I rolled my eyes.“Just going to work and back,Mom.Love you,”I called as I ran out.

The music was low when I slid inside the truck.After I buckled up,I saw Jeff watching me.Intently.

“What?Do I have something on me?”I asked,glancing at my uniform.

He grinned.“Nope,you look good.”

I blushed.Was that a compliment?Or was he just being nice?Did he really think I looked good?Shit,now I was acting like my sister.“Thanks,”I mumbled.

“What,no compliment back?”

I saw the sparkle in his eyes.“Okay,let’s see…you look great.”

He gave me an exaggerated frown.

I rolled my eyes at him.“Fantastic?”
