that’s crossing Gages face. “It’s okay baby. I’ll try to
get it off.” I dab a napkin in a bit of water and try to blot out as much of
the stain as possible. “Sorry about that, he can get a little messy sometimes.”
“Uh its fine,” he replies stiffly. I catch Allys eye and she’s
trying to muffle a laugh about the look on Gages face. Obviously he hasn’t been
around kids much. Most college guys are looking for a good lay, not some girl
who’s tied down with a kid. And I know Gage was definitely thinking we could be
more than just friends.
The band ends their set and
begins to pack up the instruments while a large group of girls swarms them
trying to get each ones attention. I see Chase maneuver through the crowd and
head towards our table. He lays his hat on our table and uses the bottom of his
shirt to wipe off the sweat on his forehead. I notice his pants are swung low
on his hips and the trail of hair down his stomach that disappears into his
black boxers that are sticking out. “So, how’d you guys like the show?” Well I
think I just saw the best part of the show right there.
Everyone chirps up how great
they were and can’t wait to see them play again. I nod my head in agreement as
Chase turns towards me and I introduce Gage to him who stiffly shakes his hands
and darts his eyes back and forth between me and Chase who’s now closely
standing next to me and leaning over Calebs shoulder
to check out the game he’s playing.
“I’m going to take off Leah.”
Gage says as he stands up and pushes his chair in. “Uh nice to meet everyone.”
He looks down awkwardly at Caleb before meeting my eyes. “See you later.”
Chase straightens up and slings
an arm around my shoulder. He’s covered in sweat but it’s mixed with his
soapiness smell and the combination causes butterflies to float around in my stomach.
I never knew sweat could be so sexy.
“You guys need a ride home
Leah?” I look over at Ally and Skylar who are getting
up to leave. Remy nudges me with her elbow and mouths ‘go’. I raise my eyebrows
at her, I thought the whole point of her coming tonight
was for her to meet her dream guy Chase. Remy pushes me a little closer to
Chase as she stands up and grabs her purse, “Great show Chase. See you tomorrow
at work Leah,” she leans over and whispers in my ear, “I expect details. On everything.”
I wave bye to her and Ally as
they take off leaving me stranded with Chase. “Well I guess I could use that
ride, seems like everyone ditched me. Oh shit I need to get Calebs car seat from Ally though.” I send her a quick text to wait for me outside and
scoop Caleb out of his booster seat. “Ready to go buddy?” With a nod of his head he twists his little body around and reaches his arms to
Chase who willingly takes Caleb from my arms.
He gives me a smirk as he
reaches for my hand with his free one and begins to lead me towards the exit,
“Well I guess you’re lucky we live so close to each other. I don’t give just
anyone a ride, gas is expensive nowadays ya know?
What happened to your boyfriend, Grant wasn’t it? He left in a hurry.” He says
to me over his shoulder.
“Mommy doesn’t have boyfriends,
silly. Just me.” Caleb giggles and buries his head in
Chase’s chest and I feel a pang of jealousy shoot through me. How’d Caleb get
so lucky? Maybe we should trade spots.
“It’s Gage and we’re just
friends. And I’ve never told him about Caleb before so I think he was caught
off guard a little bit.” He looks at me with surprise as he holds the door open
for me on his jeep, grabbing me around the waist and setting me onto the
passenger seat. “Um I need to make sure you get the car seat in the right way,”
I say as Ally hands it off to him with a quick wave before skipping back to Skylars car. “Have fun Leah!”
“ Don’t worry I’m like an expert with these things, I have a ton of little sisters and
I was always helping my mom out.” I turn
