voice with her lip pouted out and I couldn’t help myself but lean down and take a nip of that sweet lip.
    “Of course princess but we have plenty of time together, like right now. Where did you want to go?”
    “Let’s go over to the Wakefield Diner, sound good?”
    “Sure thing.”
     I pulled out of the gated driveway and turned in that direction. Normally the diner wasn’t Lexies kind of place. We tended to go a couple towns over where her daddy owned a few swanky restaurants, where I could never figure out which silverware to use and didn’t know what half the stuff on the menu was.
     I figured it had something to do with Wynn. The moment that girl showed up with her long honey colored hair, innocent green eyes, and modest clothing she landed on Lexies radar and that is not a good place to be. I don’t know if Lexie saw her as competition or what. It was definitely one of those girl things.
    I wedged my truck into the full parking lot between a row of golf carts and we made our way to the front entrance. It looked like both Wynn and Collins were working tonight and they had quite a crowd keeping ‘em good and busy. I gave a nod to each of them while Lexie put on her fake airy voice. “Hi girls.” She never used it when we were alone but she seemed to think she needed to put on a show when other people were around.
    Lexie dragged me over to the counter and we found two empty seats where Wynn set down menus in front of us.
    “What can I get you two?” She asked in that soft voice of hers.
    I still couldn’t get over how much her and Hallie basically looked liked twins, probably due to the fact that there mamas were twins. I had never been attracted much to Hallie before even though she was pretty easy on the eyes. There was just something about this girl with her slightly fuller lips and much quieter demeanor than her bubbly cousin.
     “I’ll take an ice water with lemon and Grier here will have a pb &j shake, right baby?” Lexie asked with a wide smile and I gave Wynn a small nod before glancing back down at the menu even though I already knew what I wanted.
     Ms. Betsy made the best fried chicken in these parts and anyone in their right mind had to get it whenever they came in. Except for Lexie of course, she always ordered a salad without the dressing everywhere we went even though I told her time and time again she didn’t have an ounce of fat on her slender figure.
    “Why is she always wearin’ those long sleeves when it’s so hot out? Its like she’s a nun or somethin’.” Lexie whispered in my ear and I answered her with a shrug of my shoulders. I tried not to notice Wynn but the first day I had seen her at the beach I instantly knew she was the most beautiful girl I had ever seen but she didn’t seem to have a clue about it.
    We placed our orders with Wynn and Lexie made small chit chat with her and Collins while we ate and finished up with me paying the bill.
    “Hey Grier,” Collins called out as she set down a sweating pitcher of iced tea and tucked a strand of hair that matched Wynns so perfectly behind her ear.
    “I just wanted to tell you thanks for helping Wynn out today.” She nudged her hip into Wynn who was looking away with a deep pink blush to her cheeks. “Apparently this girl is accident prone.”
    “Not a problem,” I replied, standing up and grabbing Lexies hand who gave me a questioning look. I’m sure as soon as we were alone I would be getting hitting up with twenty questions from her.
    “See you two tomorrow.”
    “What was that all about?” Lexie asked as we headed back to her house. “How did you help that girl out?” Bingo.
    “She backed into a telephone pole and did some damage to her truck, I just made sure she got home alright.”
    “Oh.” She simply answered back but I could see the wheels turning in her head when I gave her a sideways glance. “Oh my god, shes a patient of your moms isn’t she?”
    “Now Lexie,” I started but she quickly
