“Wow,” Mel said as they sat down on the blanket. “That was cool.”
They had managed not only to get a good look at Mars but the moon and several constellations as well. It was way worth the money he’d spent on getting the telescope. “So what do we have here?” Mel as
Trent drove Harry to Mel’s house. The entire way, worry ate at him. He swore he’d make Nickie pay for this. He didn’t know how, but he was going to make sure she faced the consequences of her actions this time. They arrived at almost the same time as Christie did. She glared at Trent.&ld
Trent pulled into the driveway. When he stopped the car he leaned forward to peer out of the windshield at the house before him. It was a barge brick building home that screamed money in a rustic, southern way. His stomach twisted nervously. One thing Trent had to admit about dating Mel is the number of nervous moments he was experiencing. Blowing out a breath, Trent got out of the car. He didn’t even know why he was nervous. After everything, why should meeting Mel’s family be so nerve-wracking?
Trent stared at the stain on the nicotine yellow wall. Whoever had lived in the house before him must have been a pack a day kinda person by the tint. Just another thing he’d have to fix in the run-down disaster he’d recently bought. Trent got up from the bed, feeling the worn-out boards of the floor shift under his weight. As much of a disaster the house was, Trent didn’t regret a single minute he spent in the place. The freedom it gave him was worth so much more than the money he was going to have to put in to it to make it livable.
Trent hurried into the small brick building that served as Marshall Construction’s headquarters. He glanced at his watch. Thirty-minutes late. He couldn’t believe it. How could he be thirty minutes late?“Ah, finally made it, eh?” Brad
The next morning, as Trent stood in front of the kitchen window drinking his coffee, he debated whether or not to close the blinds. He looked across the yard towards his neighbor’s house. It appeared empty. With a small shrug, he decided to keep the blinds as they were. She had probably got bored of watching him at that point. He was something new. Trent understood that, just as he knew he wasn’t the most exciting person.
The next morning, the guys showed up a little before ten. Trent couldn’t help but smirk as he wondered if this was an acceptable time for them to be working according to Mel. He showed the guys into the back yard and organized the work before he had to go to work.Things were going well, and by the afterno
The next morning, Trent slept in until almost eleven. Grabbing his sweats and a t-shirt, Trent shambled to the bathroom, but not before he briefly stopped in front of his mirror to fix his messy hair some before leaving.Trent froze as he started to open the door. “What the hell am I doing?” He asked
Trent started to follow Mel when Harry stopped him. “What the hell is going on? What were those papers?”“It’s her place to tell you. For now, I need to talk to her,” Trent told him and tried to move around Harry, but again the other man stopped him.
