Three months after a breakup I met a nice-looking man at the local cafe in town. He was dressed nicely, and spoke with a slight New Jersey accent, but informed me he had been a transplant from New Jersey for eleven years.
I liked his quirkiness, and we joined each other at a corner booth away from the other. guests.
"Take a ride to where?" was my question.
"Take a ride around my property." he confirmed.
"When?" I asked.
"This Friday. We can barbecue, take a dip in the pool, ride around on the quad all over my eighty acres." smiling at me knowing he hooked me with a dip in the pool offer.
"A dip in a pool sounds great." I admit to him, because a dip in a cool pool did sound great. The temperature in Southwest Oklahoma had been one hundred degrees for sixty-three days in a row and cool water would be nice to relax and swim in.
"Food, a nice swim a leisure ride around my property sounds nice. I'll see you Friday." Lawrence was born and raised in Oklahoma, so I decided to be proper and wear my one-piece swimsuit to swim in.
He calls at three thirty on Friday afternoon asking if I was ready for some fun. I said yes. He pulled onto the driveway in a shiny new 2014 Corvette. You know, some cars just make a girl cream.
We arrived at his place at four and the day was hot and muggy. The temperature outside was one hundred and ten degrees and rising, so the cool water of the pool was sounding more and more inviting.
