    He probably still doesn't believe me.

 
     
     
     
     
     
    “You bring PB&J again today?” I ask Lee. He just picked me up and now we are on our way to get Rick. His ‘slutty’ friend is hella hot. Shawn is his name and dang. He has that surfer boy hair, blond, and wavy. Tanned skin and hard toned body. He’s tall but I don't think he is as tall as Rick. God, I hope this goes well and he doesn't think he is being set up. I already filled Shawn in on the situation. He was very understanding and promised not to push too hard.
    “Not today sorry I know you were looking forward to it. Shawn, back there is some kind of fancy chef or something so I had him handle the food this time.” A chef… hmm.
    “That’s cool, what are we having?” I direct my question to Shawn in the back seat. I have to shout a little since the cover is off the jeep again today.
    “Not telling.” I stick my tongue out at him.
    “Fine, oh turn here, sorry forgot to tell you,” I tell Lee, whoops wasn't paying attention to where we were.
    We pull up to Rick’s building and see him waiting outside. Walking towards us I can see the look on his face the moment he sees Shawn. He is checking him out it’s slight but there. Good, he’s interested.
    “Hey Linnie, Lee.” Rick tips his head in greeting.
    “Rick.” Lee gestures his head towards the back. “This is Shawn, wanted to check out the boat today.”
    “Yeah thinking about getting one myself,” Shawn says. That’s a decent cover I guess.
    “Alright.” Is all Rick says while getting into the back next to Shawn.
    The conversation is minimal the whole way up there due to the cover being off. Oh well, I guess they will talk on the boat or something.
    The water is calm today but there is a slight breeze, perfect weather I'm told. We have a wonderful time on the lake and Shawn’s lunch is amazing. I really don't even know what it is called. It’s a cooked steak inside of some wonderful crusty bread with some cheese, onions, peppers, spinach, and probably more things I can’t name right now. Needless to say, there were no leftovers and he has won my heart when it comes to cooking. I do know if this thing between Lee and I were to last we are going to starve because neither one of us can cook. Mr. and Mrs. Takeout will be our names. Mr. And Mrs.? What? I haven't even slept with the guy yet and we’re already married off in my mind. Yuck, I'm turning into one of those girls.
    When we get off the lake and dock the boat Lee asks if we want to go home or head into town. Of course, we chose the later. Turns out Shawn has a place in Big Fork, and well I do believe this man is rich. His ‘place’ is more like a mini mansion and I say mini because it only has three bedrooms in it.
     
    We go out and have a couple drinks then end up at the ‘mini mansion’ to settle in for the night. Shawn and Rick seem to hit it off and they have been talking nonstop since we got off the boat. Good.
    Needing to have my glass of water before bed I pad down to the kitchen only to find Shawn and Rick down there speaking so softly I can’t make out what they are saying. Shawn is facing my direction and Rick has his back to me so I can’t see to read his expression. I stay out of sight so they don't see me. Rick says something that has Shawn smiling and lightly tugging on the bottom of his shirt in a flirty gesture. He reaches up to maybe brush something off of Rick’s brow then strokes his cheek on the way down. Then all of a sudden before I know it Shawn leans in and kisses Rick then pulls back quickly as if to gauge his reaction. It must be a good one because Rick brings his mouth back down onto Shawn’s and the kiss intensifies. Now I feel as though I'm intruding so I turn back around and make my way back upstairs to my man. Ha! That sounded weird.
     
    Getting to our room I shut the door behind me then decide to be bold, I'm not sure what it
