“What if I told you I was nervous about my date with Sadie?” I ask Brad as we take inventory at the station.
“You just gonna tell me that or are you actually nervous?” he asks.
“I think both.”
“The two of you like live together, practically.”
“I know, but it’s different. Tonight, I have to convince her to date just me.”
“Think she’s ready for that?”
“Probably not.”
“Then I would say you have a right to be nervous.”
“Shit. Thanks a lot, man.”
He shrugs. “Where you gonna take her?”
“I want to do fun and low-key. I was thinking dinner at The Crazy Burro and then that mini-golf place with the carnival-amusement park thing? That way we can talk, but we aren’t pressured to just talk like if we go for drinks, or not talk at all like if we hit a movie.”
“Smart thinking,” Brad says, tapping his temple. “Just remember not to order beans at dinner, man, or you’ll scare her away for good.”
I laugh at that even though it’s true. I’ve had to sleep in the common area at the station after we’ve had Mexican or chili for dinner because the smell of my noxious emissions would wake the guys.
“You fart in front of Kat?”
“Don’t have a choice, she’s around all the time.”
“She doesn’t care?”
“Oh, she cares plenty, nothing I can do about it. She chases my ass with a bottle of air freshener. Literally. She claims to be able to smell a fart on my balls, like if I’ve farted any time in the last twelve hours in the clothes I happen to be wearing, I can forget about a BJ.”
“So, what do you do?”
“I change my clothes.”
“After every time you fart?”
“No, before every time I want a blow job.”
“Isn’t that all the time?”
“Well, yeah. But sometimes we are already naked, or we’ve been in the hot tub or the shower or snuck down to the beach. And it doesn’t count with road head, for some reason.”
“I have so much to learn,” I say.
“You and me both, brother,” Brad says patting me on the shoulder.
We finish up the inventory with about thirty minutes left in our shift. Which flies by and before I realize it, I’m on my way home. Just a little over twelve hours before Operation Seduce Sadie gets underway. I can’t wait.

I don’t know Sadie’s schedule for today, but I’d told her to be ready at seven o’clock, so that is what I’m planning on. I get ready, dressing in jeans, t-shirt, and low-top Converse shoes. I’d sent her a text telling her to dress casually and wear comfortable shoes so hopefully she follows instructions. Then I head out, I have one surprise I want to take care of before I come back to “pick” her up.
