Chapter 29

Chapter 0029 Since I was feeling good and se xy, I decided to blow-dry my hair. Emmy had been trying to each me to curl my hair but I still preferred curlers. After putting those in, I applied a light layer of makeup, with a simple black eyeliner. It was all I was comfortable doing. My watch said I had about thirty minutes to go. Sitting on my desk, I got to work. It wasn’t hard work but since my mind was pre-occupied, it was hard to focus. After three errors, I finally got it right. “Alec is here.” Dad mind-linked me. “Give me a second, I’ll be down. Is my bike out front?” “Pulled it around myself and checked it.” “Thanks dad!” Hitting send on the checkbook, then rushing to the bathroom to remove my curlers. I sent a thank you prayer to the Moon Goddess for giving me a good hair day. The curls looked great as I felt. After grabbing

my light weight riding jacket, I forced myself to walk out the door so they didn’t see my excitement. Thankfully, Alec was wearing the same style clothing as me, His had on riding jeans with a t-shirt. His leather riding jacket was on his bike but he had riding gloves on “Here is your helmet and gloves are inside.” Dad handed me my helmet as I walked up, smiling at them. “Where do you think you are going?” An n screamed from the door. “Riding.” I said as I put my jacket in. Alec got on his bike. “She can go, leave her alone.” Dad warned. “She hasn’t turned in the checkbook.” “Just did. Check your email.” I said as I quickly got on and started my bike. Finally, dad handed me my helmet, shaking my hair back, I slid it in. Alec handed me an ear piece so we could talk. After I was situated, we were finally leaving. I caught a glimpse of Jacob and Ace looking at us from the training field. noveldrama

Thankfully, they didn’t mind-link me. “You look good.” Alec said to me through the mic. “Thanks. These are new riding pants I’m trying out. Very breezy.” “Fit you like a glove.” “Lunch at Billy Deans BBQ.” My stomach growled in response. I loved BBQ. “Sounds good.” “Your dad said it was a favorite of yours.” Alec admitted. “What did you do? Ask my dad to take me out today and what food I liked?” “Kind of. I asked if you could join me on this ride. I need to look at some new ground for a possible venue. He was happy to let you get some fresh air and he offered a few suggestions. I think he knows you! needed a fun day and it so happened I could provide one.” My heart sank a little. “A pity ask?” “No! I genuinely wanted to spend the day with you. This just gave me the opportunity to ask. I figured your would say no to a date. Plus, your birthday is next week so no reason to call it that.” we! “Ah.” The rest of the ride was silent but it wasn’t far regardless. Since we were in our bikes, we shared a parking space. Alec was quicker to get off so by the time I got off, removed my helmet, he was watching me. I had just finished fluffing my hair and removing my gloves and jacket by the time I realized he wi watching. “Need help with that drool?” I teases. “You wish.” He gave me a half smile was I passed. I almost expected him to slap my was but he didn’t. I wasn’t sure if I wanted to flirt or not. The air condition felt amazing as we entered the restaurant.
