Chapter 4
"Is there anything I can get you while you're waiting for your food?" the waitress asked taking our menus.
Before Lynn could speak he interrupted her, "Yes, could you brings us double shots of tequila with 'a' lemon please."
The waitress nodded her head and walked away.
"What makes you think I drink tequila?" she asked curiously.
He shook his head, "You do tonight."
"You seem to be making a lot of decisions for me lately, and I still don't even know your name, " she propped her right foot on her seat and draped her right forearm over knee. "So, you want me to call you Cowboy for the rest of our time together or are you going to tell me your name?"
He gave her a lopsided grin and tilted his head, "What do you think it is?"
"Dick, " she said plainly.
He laughed, "Are you always this bitchy?"
"Are you always so evasive?" she retorted.
"Do you always answer a question with a question?" he shot back enjoying their 'foreplay' he guessed you could call it.
"Maybe I'll ask your friend Lucas, " she offered. "Or is he so loyal he would just give me some money and help me on my merry way?"
The waitress came back with their drinks and set two shots each in front of them and a plate with two lemons. "If you need anything else just call for me, " she walked away leaving them alone again.
She watched him reached for a shot and hold it close to his lips. "Why do you want to know my name so badly, " he asked genuinely curious.
She raised her eyebrows, "Wouldn't you be curious to know the name of the person that saved your life?"
He chuckled, "There you go again. I'll tell you what. I'll tell you my name but...on one condition."
"What's that?" she inquired.
"You have to stay with me for an undetermined amount of time, " he said.
"No, " she shook her head. "No deal."
"Are you always so certain about everything?" he asked playing with the rim of one of the shot glasses.
"I live by instinct, " she said automatically.
"And what does your instincts tell you to do now?" he asked lowly.
She thought about it for a moment. Her instincts told her to stay...and wait. It was certainly something she didn't want to admit to him after being so defiant about it. "To stay, " she whispered.
"What was that?" he said holding his hand up to his ear.
"I'll stay on one condition, " she said in a determined tone.
He motioned for her to continue.
"You explain to me what the hell is going on, " she said.
He seemed to be thinking about it for a moment and reached for a shot and held it up, "You got a deal darlin'."
She stared at him for a moment then slowly picked up her own shot and clicked her glass against his, "We've got a deal cowboy."
"Jeff, " he corrected downing his shot with a small smile.
"Jeff, " she repeated taking her own shot.
I know the chapters are small and I apologize. When I wrote this story I was doing it on a message board and stuff always looks longer and bigger on a message board. Please read and review and let me know what you think, Thanks!
