Wes chuckled. “I am so glad you think so because I would like to do more of that and it helps if you like it.”
“I do.” She said breathlessly.
Wes kissed her tenderly on her forehead and then took her hand to walk into the restaurant. As they entered the door a pretty little hostess approached them and Wes said, “Tobin.” The hostess gave him a saucy smile and told them to follow her. Jo noticed, as the young woman walked ahead of them, that she had a pretty good sashay going on. Jo looked up at Wes and noticed that he was not even looking at the flirty hostess. He was looking at her. It made Jo feel all gooey inside.
Wes held out Jo’s chair and then pushed it in after she was seated. She loved how mannerly he was. He took the chair opposite her and asked if she was comfortable.
“Yes, thank you. This place is so quaint.” Jo said as she looked around.
“It used to be a shack, literally, but it was renovated last year. Boater’s can dock over there.” Wes said pointing out an area where several boats were tied up. “It’s gaining in popularity.”
“So what is the house specialty?”
“Oysters.” Wes said with a devilish grin and Jo burst out laughing.
“Of course it is. “ She said still giggling.
They split an order of oysters and then Wes ordered a steak and Jo ordered the same thing, but not as big of a cut.
“So we like the same food.” Wes said with a smile.
“It seems we do.” Jo said.
“I wonder what other similarities we share.” Wes replied.
Jo beamed; she had been thinking the same thing. The rest of their dinner was spent talking about movies, books, music, and even animals. They found they did have a lot in common. They both liked act
ion adventure movies, but Jo feigned acting appalled that Wes had never seen Little Mermaid or Beauty and The Beast. The biggest differences they had was that Jo liked reading romance novels and Wes liked historical biographies. She teased him that he might like a few chapters in some of her books. He bantered back that he would be happy to let her read him some of those chapters. Jo loved how witty he was and how easy he was to talk to.
Wes was enjoying himself with his Jo. She was funny, smart and he loved looking at her. Her face was so expressive. Her eyes were such a pretty light blue that they were mesmerizing. When she laughed he swore that they twinkled. Wes looked at her pink full lips and wished he could kiss them again, right now.
“Wes? Are you even listening to me?’ She laughed.
“I was, until I thought about kissing you again, and then I’ll plead the 5th.” Jo burst out laughing and that drew the attention of other diners, looking to see what was so funny.
“Oh I’m sorry.” She said trying so hard to rein in her mirth.
“Don’t ever stop laughing Jo.” Wes said almost too seriously.
It sobered her up immediately. He took her hand and kissed her palm.
“I love hearing you laugh." He said planting another kiss on her palm.
Jo quieted and felt her heart pitty patter. She thought that the man sitting across from her, gently holding her hand, was seriously swoon worthy.
After Wes paid for dinner, he quickly stood to help her out of her chair. They walked slowly back to his car. Wes had his hand on her back, and before he opened her door he turned her towards him and backed her against the door.
“I am usually a very patient man Jo.” He said as he bent for a kiss. “But for some reason with you.” He kissed her again. “All I seem to think about is kissing you.” He kissed her again. “And I just can’t seem to wait.” He leaned in for another kiss, but this time he found her tongue with his own.
Jo wrapped both her arms around his neck and melted into his embrace. She loved how he felt. The magical moment was broken when someone yelled out, “get a room!”
Jo buried her face into Wes’ chest totally embarrassed. “I’m sorry Jo. I didn’t mean to embarrass you.”
Jo smiled up at him. “Hey I was kissing you back remember?” She playfully swatted at his shoulder.
Wes opened the door for Jo and helped her inside. When he got inside he turned on the car and turned towards her.
“So my Jo, do you like ice cream?”
