doesn’t mean he isn’t seein’ someone, maybe he just hasn’t brought her down the marina.”
“I guess under those circumstances it can be a big blow to a person’s ego, whether you’re male or female,” Deb said.
I asked Mo, “Have you ever thought about dating Big H? He seems like a good guy and you would look cute together.”
Mo arched her brow and said, “Believe me, that thought has crossed my mind a thousand times. I’d go out with that big hunk of love in a New York minute, but I think,” she raised her hands and made quotation marks, “he’s just not that into me. He’s certainly had plenty of opportunities to ask me on a date. He’ll come and sit at the counter and talk to me for hours. Sometimes I pick up a lusty vibe from him, but nothin’ ever happens. Sometimes it’s hard to control myself. I just want to leap over the counter, grab him by his fish-blood-stained T-shirt, push him against the wall, and… Oh, sorry, girls, I got carried away.”
Deb and I looked at each other and laughed. “That’s okay,” I reassured her.
Mo said, “I got so much passion stored up in my body, sometimes I feel like my head’s gonna blow off. I’ve gotta get me a man soon. This isn’t good for my blood pressure.”
Deb asked, “Does Big H know you’re dating online?”
Mo threw up her hands and said, “You’d have to be deaf, dumb, and blind not to know that around here. One time I was tellin’ Dancing Kathy and Marion about a guy I just met. Big H was sittin’ at the counter and got a real grouchy look on his face, slammed a dollar down on the counter for his coffee, and stormed out. Marion and Kathy think he has the hots for me and got jealous. He could very well like me, but what’s a girl to do?”
I said, “I feel sorry for his sister.”
Mo agreed. “Yeah, it’s a shame about Sue. Why can’t people just stick with their own age group? You got old geezers takin’ Viagra wantin’ young girls. You got middle-aged women wantin’ boy toys. If someone really wants to get laid, it isn’t that hard to find someone your own age to do it with. I bet I could get laid five times on the way home if I wanted to. Okay, I would probably have to stop off at the VFW and the American Legion Hall, but I could find willin’ partners my own age.”
Deb and I started laughing.
“Mo, you’re a riot,” Deb said.
“Well, I’d better get back to work. I’ll see you later,” I said. I went back to the office and settled down to do the payroll.
Just as I was finishing up, Journey popped her head in my office.
“Meggie, I’m leaving now. Just thought I’d let you know,” she said.
“Thanks. I guess I’ll close up and call it a day, too.”
“Hey, Dash and I are going to Kelly’s tonight if you’d like to join us.”
I thought about it for a few seconds and answered, “You know, I think I’ll take you up on that. I haven’t been out since I got here, and I could use a night out.”
“Dash and I like to go a little early before it gets too crowded. How about we swing by and pick you up around eight?”
“That would be great. Thanks for asking me.”
“No problem. See you later.”
After she left, I closed up the store and went to the cottage to hunt through my closet. I was hoping I would run into Ian around the marina, but I haven’t seen him since Tuesday when Mac and I came back from clamming. I can’t seem to stop thinking about him. Maybe a night out will get him out of my head.
I ate some leftover stir-fry I had made last night, took a shower, and got dressed. I decided to wear my favorite white skirt with a pink tank top and my shell belt. I put on some white sandals and finished my outfit off with a silver necklace, earrings, and bracelet. Since it wasn’t that humid today and my hair looked great after I dried it, I decided to wear it down. I put on a little blush, some mascara and lipstick, and I was ready to go.
I’m looking forward to tonight. Maybe
