didn’t they?” With a wiggle of his eyebrows he continues, “What does her boyfriend think of you showing her around?”
    “Nate is not her boyfriend. They went to college together and are just good friends. He was just in town checking out her new place. I guess they had a disagreement last night and he decided to cut his trip short. He went back to LA after they left Moon Doggies. She was so upset that she forgot to come back and tell me that she was leaving.”
    “And when did you find this all out? Is Grace the lady that your mangy mutt took refuge with last night while you were being accosted?” He leans forward to look at my face and neck. “Dude, you have claw marks on your chest and neck. Who did that? The pool vixens or Grace? Damn, you are marked quite nicely.”
    “It wasn’t Grace, even though I wouldn’t have minded it one bit.”
    “Reeeally! I need to know more. I haven’t seen you have such a goofy grin ever. Not even with Roxanne.”
    What the heck is he talking about? I guess the puzzled look on my face let him know that I have no clue what he is talking about.
    “You know. Roxanne. The girl that put out the red light,” Ben starts laughing.
    He thinks he’s so funny.
    “Jackass. Her name was Lane not Roxanne. I can assure you that Lane has nothing on this girl. Grace appears to be a good girl, yet has this spunk that makes her irresistible.”
    Raising those eyebrows again, Ben replies, “Irresistible? Hmmm. You know, that is the type of girl that you have to watch out for. Angel by day, devil by night. I hear those girls can give a nice lay. They are the girls that you can take home to mom to give a good show, all the while mom isn’t aware that the little angel gives a whole different show between the sheets.”
    This is what I like about Ben. He has a crude sense of humor that entertains the Marines during the day and charms the ladies at nights. We walk the kayaks out to my vehicle and get them strapped down tight. As we head back inside I notice Thor is still pawing at the back door. As soon as I free him, he starts chasing a bee. One of these days he is going to catch one and will not like the consequences. Opening the refrigerator, I complete an inventory of items that I can use to make an impressive lunch.
    “What are you doing now?” Ben asks.
    Bending down to get things out of the crisper, I say, “I have to make us lunch then go upstairs and find an extra camelback for her water. Then I have to find the sunscreen and –”
    “Whoa. Wait a minute. You are making her a picnic lunch and putting together a beauty bag. You haven’t been on your first date and she has you wrapped.” Ben holds out his pinky and twirls a piece of paracord around it. “Are you then going to cut and dye her hair as well?”
    “Screw you, Ben. She probably has been unpacking all week and hasn’t had time to run to get groceries or even the extras, like sunscreen. I’m not going to have her pass out then burn on my watch.”
    Ben stands in the doorway bent over laughing. “Already whipped,” I hear in between each gasp of air.

Chapter Eleven
    Grace
    I believe this has to be one of the longest nights in history. The anticipation of going out with Jackson this morning had my stomach doing flip flops all night. I roll over to scan the clock. “Six o’clock. You have got to be kidding me.” I slowly ease myself out of bed. As I descend the stairway, I start making a mental list of all that I need to accomplish before cross country practice begins in two weeks. I haven’t even started to unload the box that holds all of my school items; it sits neatly in the corner of my spare bedroom. I need to search for the flash drive that has all my pre-season work outs. Rory Simmons is the head coach of the team, as well as my previous boss’s daughter. She said that she was interested in meeting with me so that we could work out the best possible strategy for tackling this season. She indicated that
