bitch, but whatever. I followed her around for an hour thinking my only problem would be memorizing the menu, but I knew that would eventually come.
    “And after your shift is over, you have to roll silverware and fill salt and pepper shakers. If you don’t, Jack will dock your pay so you’d better make sure you’re paying attention,” she said after my training was over and rolled her big, blue eyes at me as if I’d been a huge inconvenience to her before she flipped her long, brown hair over her shoulder and walked off to check on a table.
    “Don’t mind her. She’s been stuck in bitch mode ever since one of the bartenders blew her off. She’s got the hots for him, but there’s no way she’s special enough to land him. I’m Natalie by the way.” She was another waitress and she gave me a gorgeous smile. She was tall and had short, brown hair that hit her at the shoulders, and her brown eyes had twinkled when she’d given me the info about Alyssa. I liked Natalie right away.
    “Hey, Natalie. I’m Scout. Thanks for that. I thought she just didn’t like me,” I said with a chuckle.
    She laughed. “She doesn’t like anyone who can’t do something for her. But she’s a good waitress. I’m sure you’ve seen her fakeness in action all night.”
    I snickered. “Well, I wasn’t sure, but at least it got her some good tips.”
    I left thirty minutes later after rolling silverware with Alyssa who griped the entire time about the bartender she was dating who’d stood her up for a poker game. By the time I got home, I was ready for some silence.

    Hi,
    Sorry to hear about your knee. That sucks. Do you have a favorite quarterback?
    To Kill a Mockingbird is definitely a favorite.
    Black sheep, huh? Been to jail? Busted for drugs? Broken any hearts?
    My family’s really close. My dad’s a farmer and we all helped out. I could drive a tractor by the time I was 7.
    What’s your biggest goal in life?
    Talk to you later

    Thanks. Yeah, it did suck. Two of my brothers play sports in college and it’s sometimes tough watching them play when I want to be out there too. But I’m glad they’re getting to live the dream. My youngest brother was a good athlete too but he’s more of a computer geek, so he doesn’t play sports anymore.
    Steve Young was my favorite QB.
    Yes. Yes. No. Yes.
    My family’s pretty close too although we try to stay out of each other’s business most of the time. Mom runs a daycare and Dad works as a mechanic, so yes, I know how to change a diaper and oil.
    Damn. Driving a tractor at age 7? That’s pretty badass. Ever wreck? ;)
    My biggest goal in life is to be happy. And while I’m at it, if I make others happy, that’d be good too.
    What’s yours?

    I was lying in bed when my phone dinged. When I looked at it, I was surprised to see that he’d answered back so quickly. I read through what he’d written and when I got to the bottom, I stared at the two X’s. If I wasn’t mistaken, they stood for kisses. He was sending me virtual kisses now? Yesterday, I’d asked one of the guys who worked for the newspaper who was pretty computer savvy if he could access student files and he was checking into whether this was Gable or not. If this really was him, at least I now knew he had a sweet side.
    After reading his responses I was curious so I wrote him back right away.
