She played with my hands as we stood next to her car. “So, you never told me how long you’re staying in town. You think maybe we could hook up again?”
I smiled, showing off my dimples and kissed her hand. It was better than kissing her mouth. I’d drank five beers, but it wasn’t enough to jump right into the shit. “I’ll be here for a couple of weeks and then I plan on coming back for a job I’m workin’ on.”
She placed her hands on my chest and leaned up, waiting for me to respond to her. I kissed her on the cheek and pulled away quickly. She backed away and bit down on her lip. “Where you staying tonight?”
“I got a room at a hotel while I’m workin’ here.”
“Maybe you could invite me over before you have to leave?” She kept running her hands up and down my chest.
I grabbed her hands and moved them off of me gently. “Why don’t you give me your number and I will.” She reached her damn hand in my pocket and pulled out my phone. Realizing that I had a picture of Bella on it, I grabbed it out of her hand. “It’s been actin’ up. Just tell me the number and I’ll put it in, or better yet, I’ll call you so you have mine too.”
After giving me the number she was still all up in my business. “It’s still early, you want to go out somewhere?”
I smiled and shook my head. “I’m here workin’ on a construction job and we get up real early in the mornings. It’s best if I get back and get some sleep. Why don’t you give me a call tomorrow and we can make plans.”
She leaned back against her car and took her index finger, motioning me to come toward her. I knew what she wanted and I had to close my eyes and pretend to enjoy the shit. I had to keep in mind that she wasn’t bad looking and I was sure she knew what she was doing. Our lips met and I did my best to give her a kiss that would make her think about me for the rest of the night. When I pulled away, she was all smiles. “I’ll call you tomorrow, Conner.”
“Can’t wait!” I lied.
I watched her pull away and waited to climb into my truck. This was going to be harder than I thought and it wasn’t just because I was pretending. I couldn’t get my damn head to stop picturing Amy going home with that bastard.
When I got back to the farm, I already had a damn text from Heather. I decided to go with it and get to know her enough to where we could end this thing quickly.
Once I got into the house, everyone was already asleep, I started to walk back to my room and I saw my sister’s cell phone sitting on the table. I grabbed it and sat down on the couch, scrolling down until I found Amy’s number. I thought about what to say to not get her in trouble.
Think it went well. Thanks for doing this. Hopefully he can keep his mind off of Blaze.
I got up and grabbed a beer, deciding to take the phone into my room. She wasn’t going to come out looking for it and I wanted to talk to Amy.
A few minutes later it chimed.
Wow, home already? Glad it all worked out and you’re happy.
Yes, I’m home. So what are you doing?
In my room.
Are you alone? Your husband is a dick.
Are we talking as Miranda or Conner now?
What do you think?
I think we better erase these as we send them and I know who I’m talking to. How did it go when we left?
I really don’t like her.
Just figure out a different way to help them then.
No, the plan will work fine. Trust me. She can’t wait to see me again.
Why is that?
Because I left her wanting more of my awesomeness.
I’m going to bed now.
Blaze, I was thinking about you during the kiss. I swear.
Shut up! Erase them all.
What are you wearing?
Granny panties and a smock. Goodnight Conner!
Goodnight, Blaze… Don’t be mad. You know you’re my favorite.
Stop texting me! I don’t like you right now.
Liar.
I flipped through and erased all the messages before taking the phone back to the kitchen. Amy never wrote back, but I double checked just to make sure. She was mad at me and I knew she would be. It wasn’t fair for me to keep egging her on.
When I got back in my room, I remembered I still had to answer the other chick.
Can’t wait to see you again…Goodnight. - C
Can’t wait either. Call me tomorrow. – H
I tossed my phone down on the bed and went to sleep.
The next day, I had to force myself to talk to Heather. Ty was beginning to show signs of breaking down. I could tell that it was tearing him apart and honestly, it was the only thing that kept me going on this scheme of mine. I just had to keep this up without anyone knowing. When I got some solid proof, I would be able to tell Ty and hopefully make everything better.
