asked.
    “That means your car is stuck until you replace both of those items. I can take you to town and let you buy them and then I can install them for you, if you want.”
    “Thank you.”
    As I dropped the hood on her car, I looked over to see her leaning into the car to get whatever it was that she needed. I could feel my jeans growing tighter and I was forced to press my palm against my groin in a lame attempt to keep myself in check. If I was honest with myself, I wanted to take as long as possible to keep this beauty in town. She was stunning as far as looks went. But, her attitude was something to be desired. The small huff of exasperation and roll of her eyes made me cringe. As she pushed herself up, she headed towards me while slinging her purse over her shoulder. Mentally I cursed myself for having such a hard on for this beauty. I loved the way she handled her body when she slid her hands in her back pockets. The movement caused her breasts to become the center of attention, and I wanted to know more of her body unclothed. Even though I knew I wouldn’t get any serious relationship out of her because I wouldn’t allow myself to fall into a relationship.
    No one needed to deal with me and my issues. No one wanted to.
    “Are you ready?” she asked a brilliant smile spreading across her face.
    “Yes,” I said as I returned her smile. Holding my arm out, she hesitantly took it and followed me up to the house and around the back to the garage knowing that she had no other choice but to trust me.

    Driving into town, I kept glancing over at the woman by my side. She looked mighty fine in my truck. I’d never had a woman in my truck that made me want to pull over and spend the night in the back of the truck just staring at the stars.
    “Why are you starin’ at me?” she asked turning to look at me.
    “No reason. What’s your name darlin’?”
    “Aubrey. And yours?”
    “Austin.”
    Laughing, she shook her head. Her laughter was contagious and soon I found myself laughing even though I had no clue why. It was several moments before the laughter in the cab of the truck died down and she had a somber face once more.
    “Why were you laughin’?” I asked curiously.
    “I just find it hilarious. Your name is Austin, mine is Aubrey, I have a friend named Bailey and her husband’s name is Dallas. They are all places in Texas not that far from each other.”
    “Wouldn’t happen to be Bailey and Dallas Westmore, would it?” I asked not missing the statement she’d said about us all living in Texas with names reflecting Texas towns.
    “Yeah that’s them. How’d you know?”
    “I went to school with Dallas. I was also at their weddin’.”
    “So was I!” The look on her face brought a smile to my face. “What were you wearin’?”
    “I was the one in the blue jeans, black button up shirt, and cowboy boots. At some point in time I might have been wearin’ a black cowboy hat.”
    Aubrey took a moment to think before her mouth dropped open. Arching a brow, I pulled the truck into the repair shop and looked at her.
    “What’s wrong Aubrey?”
    “That was you?”
    “Yes. Is that a bad thing?”
    “No, I just didn’t know that was you. I was kinda bitch to you that night.”
    I thought back to the night Dallas and Bailey had gotten married. It took me but two seconds to remember what Aubrey had been wearing. The smile on her face, the way her hair teased her neck and the way that her dress clung to every curve in just the right areas. She’d danced with Bailey and the other bridesmaids to every song that came on. I also remembered that I had wanted to dance with her but chickened out not wanting to chance her rejecting me. I was only on leave from the Army and was in no shape to be with someone. One thing I know for sure was that she is as beautiful now as she was then. Only then she was wearing less clothes than she was now.
    “No you weren’t. Besides, if you were I’m sure I deserved it. I
