So much for her admitting she was wrong and asking for a second chance while in his office.
“Pen deserves your wrath. Hell, she could have suffered far worse consequences for what she did.” He sighed, shaking his head and taking another long pull of his beer. “I’m not going to lie. I was hoping there was a possibility of you joining the family in a more formal way. But then again, in my mind, you’re already family.”
“Thank you, sir,” Lucas replied, not one to get emotional, but feeling his throat growing tight.
The Chief lifted his beer and said, “Here’s to family, biological, legal, or otherwise.”
Lucas smiled and clicked the neck of his bottle to his. “To family.”
The older man set his bottle on the island and leaned against it. “You’re a good man, Luke. I don’t think I tell you that enough. Oh, I know you get plenty of slaps on the back for being a fine mayor and taking care of this town. Hell, you’ve single-handedly increased the average income of the people of Wayward from your night classes alone. I just want you to know, you’re like a son to me and Lorraine. And… we’re both very proud of you.”
Alongside a constricted throat came a flushed face. He was just as uncomfortable with compliments as he was criticisms.
Dipping his chin he silently nodded. Not much to say to that.
However the silence became awkward.
“Are you hungry? I have some leftover chili?” he offered. “I was going to heat it up for dinner, if you’d care to join me.”
“Don’t mind if I do,” the Chief said, making his way to the other side of the island and taking a seat.
Pulling the Dutch oven out of the fridge, Lucas asked, “So, what’s Lorraine up to tonight?”
The man growled, and took another swig. “That damned Pinkie Wallensky’s got every woman of Wayward over the age of forty thinking their men are sexually deficient.”
Lucas paused while scooping the chili in a bowl.
“She’s got a gaggle of women going to her house tonight for some sex-toy party.”
Lucas didn’t need to know that.
“Can you imagine? You’ve got grandmothers over there looking at shit they have no business looking at.”
Lucas squeezed his eyes shut at the visual of Pinkie holding up anal beads.
No, just, hell no.
“I told Lorraine she didn’t need none of that shit. That I should be enough. You want to know what she said?”
“I’m not sure I’m the right…”
“She said, well, I guess we’re going to find out now, aren’t we?” He plunked his beer bottle on the counter. “Ain’t that something? We’re all going to be compared to battery operated dongs that aren’t even close to accurate size… and… and who knows what else.”
Chief pinched his bottom lip and pointed at Lucas.
“Wanna know what else she said?”
“I’m sure it’s personal…”
“She said I couldn’t find her exogenous zones, let alone my ass, with both hands.” He held up his hands. “I told her these two hands seemed to satisfy her just fine for over forty years, and I don’t recall her ever complaining before.
Yet another visual Lucas could have done without. “I think the term is erogenous…”
“That damned Pinkie’s turning our women into sexpots. Before you know it, they’ll be going to strip clubs and having dirty magazines sent to the house.”
“I believe digital porn is a more likely…”
“Well, let me tell you something. I’m not putting up with this shit. I’ll be damned if I’m going to be forced to compete with a monster-sized schlong with a tickler thingy on the end.”
