Chapter 5: The Devil has a Sick Sense of Humor
When I walked through the door failed to see that there was anyone else in the store. I figured it was just Lacey Rose and Justin the delivery guy. Just a side note Justin has heard me babble and rabble before. I went off grumping about Freckles, my mother, and the fact my clothes are soaked all the way through. Which the last was obvious by the way my shirt was stuck to my top half. My baby B's were barely noticeable but the wet fabric was clinging to everything else. Inlay or may not have made a comment about my nipples. Thats when I suddely heard a cough!... There stood Annie and a guy I could only assume was Myke...
By this point I seriously think Annie is really a devil in desguise. She just stood there by the counter with a silly grin. Of course she would find this all funny. Wearing a sundress and hair all perfect where as I look a total mess with my soaked jeans and old t shirt. I looked like a drowned troll. Annie flased a wicked smile which at the moment was beaming off of her face. She just had to ask, "Well why don't you two introduce yourselves?"
Omg seriously Annie?! Myke was standing there with a sexy half smile. He reached out and took my hand and said, "You must be Marie." Talk about wanting to curl up and cry. Hit that redo button or something! All I could do was stand there, flash a smile with the hope that I didnt look like some mythical creature. "You must be Annie's cousin Myke." Pretty sure my face was beat red!
Myke said Annie told him a bunch of stuff about me. All I could think was great what did that evil woman say now?! Apparently he just couldn't wait to meet me so he hopped on an earlier plane. Me being me I asked him, " so you kinda wish you had took that later flight?" I thought Annie was going to claw my eyes out. Lacey Rose and Justin were laughing so hard i am surprised Justin didn't croak. Myke just laughed and told me "no way".
Annie was about to let me have it. I can feel my best friend radar getting read to go off. Steam was about to roll out of the devil woman's ears. Thankfully Myke stepped in and defused the Annie bomb. He asked if I wanted to go somewhere and talk.
That is how I ended up on one of the back love seats with a major hottie when I was supposed to be putting up the new books. One of those times that it is good to be the boss. Thankfully I had grabbed my "I love books hoodie" the last time it was cold in town. My nipples kept trying to show through my shirt. Myke wasn't being overly discrete about looking either. Thank god Annie keeps a brush in her purse so I fixed myself a little bit.
I listened to Myke tell about some of the places he has traveled with work. I learned he hasn't had any form of girl friend in about six years. He actually rents a place the next town over but doen't stay there often. He has been working on the road alot lately so he has spent most of his time living in motels.
