Not about the date.
I don’t remember another question.She typed and waited.She pulled her lip between her teeth.She knew what he was referring to.She had purposely ignored that question earlier.Mainly because she hadn’t made up her mind about him yet.Now she was getting a better idea of who he was.
Do you forgive me?
I wouldn’t have agreed to a date if I hadn’t forgiven you.By the way, are you texting and driving?She didn’t know where he lived, but she didn’t think it was right around the corner.
Why?Are you worried about my safety?
More like I’m worried about others on the road.Texting and driving was one of the leading causes of traffic accidents.She was having fun talking to him, but not at the expense of other people’s safety.
I’m a safe driver.I got you home safely, didn’t I?
Allie sent him an angry face emoji.Carson!Tell me the truth, are you driving and texting?
If I said yes, what would you do?
Stop texting you until you are off the road.Texting and driving were a hard no for her.If that was the kind of driver he was, she would never ride with him again.She’d seen him super glued to his phone last week.If he did that and drove, she would tear him a new one.
Well, I am driving, but I have my phone plugged into my truck so I can talk text.Very safe.Happy?
Her car was old enough it didn’t have that feature, but Sandy’s did.It was pretty handy.Very.It was safer than texting while driving.At least he could keep his focus on the road.
Well, as long as madam is happy.
She is, and it’s Your Majesty.It has a better ring to it.Better than the other lame title he’d given her.
Well, if I wasn’t driving and worrying about others on the road, I’d bow down to you.
That gave her a visual.Carson bowing down to her.Worshipping her.With his hands, or better yet, his mouth.That man had a sensual mouth.Woo, she had to fan herself after that visual.Lucky for you I’ve never cared for titles.
And what do you care for?Besides rescuing families?
Allie had had to wait to text him back until after she’d picked her car up from the auto shop.When Sandy had asked how she’d gotten home, she couldn’t hide her surprise when Allie said Carson.Sandy was even more shocked they were texting each other.
Of course, after that, Sandy demanded details, but Allie stayed tight-lipped.Mainly because there wasn’t anything to share.They had only been texting for a little while.This was the most they had spoken to each other since they’d met.
You there?
Allie cursed.She’d put her phone on silent while Sandy was waiting with her, not wanting to be rude with her friend, and completely forgotten about it.It had been a few hours since she’d last texted Carson.Yeah, sorry.Sandy came and got me.I just got home.
Did you get your car back already?
She supposed it would be soon for some, but she’d had enough trouble with her car over the years, she knew the mechanic well enough that he’d gotten her in quickly.Burt was a sweet older guy who treated her like a daughter.Yeah.Good as new.Well, good as she was going to be.
As much as Allie may not want to, she was going to have to consider buying a new car sooner rather than later.It wasn’t that she couldn’t afford a new car, she just liked her car.She’d bought it used when she’d moved out here and thought it had a lot of personality.She didn’t want to have to break in a new car.
To answer your question, beating you at paintball.
Ha!You wish.
Don’t underestimate me.
A mistake I won’t repeat.
Do you take a lot of women out for paintballing?She was curious if she was the first or one in the long line of many.She couldn’t say it was a typical date for adults, but she was still looking forward to it.
You are a first.Honestly, I haven’t been in a long time.
