Page 56 of Life To My Flight

But I mean, really, it wasn’t my fault...was it?

“They don’t have anybody else that can fly?” I asked in surprise.

He shook his head. “No. Actually, ten people are out right now with various illnesses. I’ve been working for three days straight.”

The wind in my sails died an agonizing death.

I was such a selfish little girl sometimes.

“Be careful, okay?” I asked.

He walked towards me, dropping his head to kiss me on the lips.

His lips tasted like Chapstick, and I wanted to lick them. Nonetheless, I squelched the urge, barely, and kissed him back the only way that was suitable for a work setting.

Chaste.

“I will,” he said before walking out the door.

“Not yours my ass,” Audrey coughed into her hand.

I gave her a quelling look. “Suck it.”

Is horny an emotion?

-Secret thoughts of Rue Loden

Rue

Four more days passed before I saw him again.

However, this time it was because he was eating out.

With a girl.

And I was pissed.

Have you ever heard the term, Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned?

Well, I was about to show the entire restaurant just how truthful that statement was.

“What are you doing?” Cody hissed as I stopped walking in the direction of where our group from work was, and started walking in the direction of Cleo.

My eyes were glued on the young woman he had his arm around.

From the back, I couldn’t tell who she was, but it didn’t matter. Whomever it was, shouldn’t be sitting so close to someone that’s taken. Or someone that says he wants me back, that is.

I was nearly right up on her when I realized that the person Cleo had his arm around was his sister.

Immediately realizing I overreacted, I turned, disregarding the surprised faces of the men in the booth facing me.

One of them was Detective Rector, and the smile on his face let me know that he knew what I’d nearly done.

Well I hadn’t, which was why I turned and stuck my tongue out at him like a three year old, causing him to laugh his ass off, and the pretty brunette from the other day to look at him as if he was crazy.

“That was quick,” Cody said as I made it to the table. “Did you kick any ass in those two minutes?”
