Chapter Four
The movie was great, Cassie thought the following day. She had gotten a couple of bags of popcorn, and it had been funny as well. Slade took care of the ice cream, and it had been a lot of fun.
She released a chuckle as she took out another weed, thankful she had on gloves as it looked like another stinger. Her vegetable patch hadn’t been cared for the past week, and she was regretting it. The fruits of her labors were doing really well, but she should have taken care of those weeds. She didn’t like to use chemicals though, so that wouldn’t have done. The sun was shining, but there was another storm heading their way. She wanted to get as much done this afternoon as she could so she didn’t have to worry.
“What are you doing?” Slade asked, opening the loose fence.
“You really need to fix that.”
“Why? It’s not like you’re answering your front door. This came for you?” He held up a box, and she frowned.
“I’ve not ordered anything.”
“I guess you won something?” Slade asked.
She shrugged. “Not that I’m aware of.” Moving out of her vegetable patch, she took the box, and began to open it. When she couldn’t open it, Slade took a blade, and ran it across the edge. “You carry a knife?”
“It’s not that big, but it’s perfect for opening pesky packages.”
Opening the box, her cheeks heated, and she quickly closed it up.
“What is it?” Slade asked.
“It’s a gift from my friend Jessica.” Whom she would kill when she next saw her.
Slade took the box from her, and she tried to stop him from looking inside, but the damage was done.
“Who would send you a vibrator?”
There was no way she could get any redder than she already was, was there? “It’s a joke.”
“I don’t think it’s a joke.”
She groaned.
“Are those the sounds you make during sex?”
“No. They’re not.” She grabbed the vibrator from him, and left the box in his hands. Entering her home, she placed the packaged vibrator onto the kitchen counter. She was tempted to throw it in the trash, but Jessica had told her she needed to loosen up a bit. Could the vibrator help with her dreams?
Just recently Cassie had been having a lot of sexual dreams. The guy was always blurred out, but when she was with him, she was happy. The way he touched her body would drive her crazy with even more need.
“Why do you need a vibrator, and who would send it to you?”
She grabbed them both some iced tea. It was way too hot for a conversation like this. “My friend Jessica sent it to me, like I just said, and now that you’ve overreacted, how about you mow my lawn?” The weeding was a job that was taking her a lot of time. She needed a little bit of help.
“Why would your girlfriend get you a vibrator?” he asked.
If she didn’t know any better, she would think he was jealous, which would have to be completely wrong. There was no way he’d feel like that. He had so many women at his beck and call.
“She thinks I need to lighten up. We were talking, and she said that a vibrator would do the job.” She patted his chest. “No need to worry.”
Leaving the house, she put some distance between them as Slade was starting to look more appealing. She had to remember that he was the fucker that lived next door. He was a horrible man, and yet even as she was thinking all of those things, the past few weeks had been so much fun. They’d even talked. Then she remembered Slade wasn’t an awful guy at all. He was a man that women wanted but didn’t like that he didn’t want them long term. He was no longer such a bad person.
Still, it had only been a couple of weeks, and she imagined he still fucked random women.
He followed her outside, and didn’t even wait as he grabbed her lawnmower, and started to help her out. She finished weeding through her vegetable patch, and then checked on her plants to make sure they didn’t have any pests or diseases. Happy to see that they were growing, she made her way toward the furniture.
She folded down the deck chairs and carried them to the shed. By the time the sun started to set, her garden was spick and span, and they had finished on Slade’s garden. He’d mowed his lawn, and she put down furniture. She wore gloves as she did his garden though. She didn’t know what he’d done on the furniture, and it kind of scared her what she’d catch.
