“Fuck, Mabel,” he groans, his eyes pinching shut as he tries to adjust himself in his dress pants. “If I’m eating in your bed, it sure as hell isn’t going to be food.”
He gives me a heated look and I squirm in my seat.
“Let’s go now. I can show you around my place.”
My stomach chooses that moment to growl and I know that Jonah isn’t going to be able to ignore it.
“Tomorrow,” he whispers, dropping one chaste kiss on my lips before he fishes some of the food up from by my feet.
He passes me a Coke and opens both of the sandwiches, ripping them in half before he passes me a piece of each one.
I grin, sitting back in my seat and watching as the stars start to come out as we eat.
Best first date ever.

“Are you nervous?” Ledger asks as he watches me tie my shoes.
“A little. I really like this girl.”
He nods, looking thoughtful.
“She just moved here, right?” Alder asks and I nod.
All of the guys are over at Ledger’s place hanging out. I’ve gotten used to seeing at least one of them every day over the past week and I’m slowly starting to get more comfortable around all of them.
“Yeah, she said a few weeks ago. She works at the salon in town,” I tell him.
“Yeah, I remember Myra mentioning it,” he says.
“Where is she from originally?” Alder asks.
“Michigan. Grand Rapids, but she wanted to live in a small town instead.”
“I thought she was a babysitter?” Wells says with a frown. “Someone at work just recommended her to Snow and me.”
“She babysits on the side, I think.”
I vaguely remember her telling me that she was headed home from babysitting the night that we met. I wouldn’t be surprised if she was great with kids. It’s obvious that she loves being around them.
“We might have to hire her soon. Snow and I haven’t had a date night or a few hours to ourselves in a while,” Wells says.
“You know that we’d all be happy to watch them,” Rhodes tells him and he nods.
“I know, but we don’t want to take advantage of you guys. Besides, you’ll all have babies of your own here soon enough.”
He’s right. Everyone’s wife is pregnant now and we’re coming up on all of their due dates here pretty soon.
I really need to find my own place…
“Where are you taking her for your date?” Rhodes asks.
“She wanted to cook for me, so we’re just going to her place.”
“You know,” Ledger starts, and I look up at him as I finish tying my shoe.
