“Like what?"
“Like rearranging everything in my...system.”
She smiled triumphantly. “Oh, good. Now, if I could convince you to try a soy burger too, that would make my evening.”
“That’s a hell no. But I’m up for anything else.”
She grinned. “Challenge accepted.”
Chapter Twenty-Two
Jake
"This is so great!"Natalie exclaimed one week later at Grandmother’s party. She was running everything with an iron fist. I liked that about her. She was well organized and didn’t leave anything to chance, yet she wasn’t micromanaging either.
I smiled. “You’re talented at this.”
"Why, thank you. Are you complimenting me because you’re trying to get into my pants later?"
I tilted closer to her. "We can do that right now. No need to wait until later."
She laughed, cocking her head to look at me. "Jake, you're doing that thing again with the eyes."
"I can't help it."
"Oh yes, you can. You're doing it on purpose."
"Fine. I am," I admitted, "but you can't blame me."
"I totally can. And I am.”
“I’ve been behaving until now."
She put her hands on her hips. "The party started two hours ago."
"Exactly. That’s two hours too long."
