greens look heavenly. I bite into the chicken first and it immediately falls off of the bone.
I moan sounds of pleasure and before I know it I’m devouring the whole meal. I don’t say anything and neither does Rhett until we’ve both finished eating.
“That was heavenly,” I say. “I’ve never eaten something that tasted so good in my life.”
“I know, it’s why I come back so much. That and the red velvet cake,” he says
“I don’t think that I have any room in my belly for dessert.”
“Trust me you’ll make room for this. Or you can just take it home with you.”
I nod my head as Frank comes and clears the plates off of the table. “Was everything to your liking?”
“Oh yes! You have definitely made a fan out of me. I will be back,” I say eagerly.
“I’m glad that you enjoyed yourself will you two like dessert now?” he asks.
“Yes,” says Rhett. “Two big slices of Red Velvet Cake and two cakes to go.”
“Be right back,” he says.
“Why’d you order two cakes to go?” I ask.
“Because I know that you’re going to enjoy it so much and will want a cake of your own,” he says.
“That confident, huh?”
“Of course.”
Frank returns to the table and places the most delicious slice of cake in front of me and sits two boxes of cake at the end of the table. “Hope you two enjoy the cake and have a wonderful night.”
“Thanks,” I say as I take in the cake.
It looks divine with the frosting and what looks like roasted walnuts or pecans on top. I stick a large bite in my mouth and immediately my eyes roll into the back of my head. “This is—oh my gosh!”
“It’s the best!” exclaims Rhett as he bites into his.
We both finish up our cake and I am tempted to eat a slice of the cake that Rhett has gotten for me but I don’t.
I know that I will just pig out on it when I get home.
We wave goodbye to Frank, get back into the heavenly Bentley, and begin the drive back to his place.
Once there he opens the door for me again and I step out.
“I had a great time with you tonight, Rhett,” I say as I push a strand of hair behind my head, feeling like a girl with her first love.
“I know. I did too. I can’t wait to do it again,” Rhett smiles.
Damn – that is a perfect smile.
We stand in uncomfortable silence for a few moments, our eyes connecting again.
I could melt under those eyes.
“Well I guess I’ll better get going back to my place. I work for this guy who is just impossible. He’s always on my ass about the littlest things.”
He laughs. “Well, I’ll have to tell him to quit being so hard on you.”
“Much appreciated.”
“See you in the morning, Rhett,” I say as I get into my car with my cake and begin the drive home.
This night was perfect and I hope that there are many more like it in the future to come.
Chapter 12
Over the next few weeks, Rhett and I continue to go on many more secret little dates.
We have gone to the bowling alley, putt putt, and almost every really good restaurant in town that I have wanted to try.
At work, we’re completely professional so that no one is suspicious about our relationship and he has been sober for almost a month.
Things are starting to look up for him and I’m glad that I have been playing a part in making him a better person.
We were supposed to have dinner tonight, but my Mom wants to see me and since I haven’t seen her in a while I couldn’t turn her down.
I pull into her yard and go up the steps and immediately she opens the door and hugs me.
“Jessica!” she exclaims.
“Mom, you act like I’ve been gone years and not a month,” I say as I gently push her away.
“Well, it feels like that long. You don’t even call and check in anymore. How’s work?”
“It’s actually a lot better. Rhett has been sober for about a month now and I’m actually learning a lot from him. He now seems a lot like the Rhett I
