As inconspicuously as she could, Macy altered the angle of her head so she could more clearly see the movement she’d caught out of the corner of her eye. A wild giggle threatened to escape, as she was torn between throwing herself out of the car or giving a resounding slap.
“Hey, babe. Roll down your window and take it.”
“Really?” Macy was on the edge of losing what little control she had left.
“Really? You leave me hanging like that and then bring me cake?!” Sparks nearly flew as her window opened. She momentarily debated whether or not to unlock the door for him.
Frank came around and opened his door. As he slid across the seat, his jeans made the sticking sucking sound of weather too hot for anything but frying eggs. He grimaced. Not only were his jeans sticking to the car seat, but they were stuck to him, too. He’d have to deal with impacted nether regions later.
Right now, they had work to do.
Frank leaned back and started the car, hoping the air conditioning would kick in soon. It wasn’t just Macy licking frosting off her fingers that had him hot under the collar.
“Sorry about that back there. Guess I forgot to turn my headset off. Besides, did you hear the conversation while I was going? I was hoping you would catch what they were saying. Sounded like it was coming from the flower shop, via the duct work. Big problem doesn’t even begin to describe this. Nope. This is worse than a pen of pig slop in the June monsoon. This is the gift that’s gonna keep on giving. Yepper. It’s gonna be more trouble than Charlie Sheen attempting therapy. It’s gonna be like-”
“Frank!” Macy shouted, to get his attention.
“Honestly,” she swore in her head, “He’s like a dog sometimes; totally got a one track mind unless he’s redirected to break the silly spell.” She’d sure give him a new bone to follow.

This week’s word is: wild.
Awesome. I love that the tension got resolved by Frank getting distracted by cake. Too funny!
I think it’s his ‘cover.’ 😉 And I hope he had time to wash his hands………. 😆
Is she going to draw out the distraction as long as he drew out getting to a toilet?
I have no idea! 😆 We’ll just have to wait and see what next week’s word is…………. 😉
Aack! And we still don’t know what Macy was going to tell him! (You write those ‘teaser’ stories for the evening news, don’t you?)
Let them eat cake!
LOL, I wish! 😆 I always think of the end of the writing as kind of like the end of the chapter- what can I write that makes people want to keep reading? In theory it works that way. 😀
They’re back! I love the Macy and Frank stories. I think you did a great job showing more of their personalities this week. Hope to see you (and the two of them) back again soon!
Thank you! The next offering is available. Not necessarily at a store near you, but it’s up. 😆
