her cheeks while still giggling. “Just... 'lady'? I'm a lot of things, but no lady. And you made me feel like I’m sixty years old.”
“ What?” He couldn't stop laughing now. “Sixty years old?”
“ Yeah. 'Lady' is like one step from 'ma'am'. Makes me think of blue hair and menthols.”
That's when Dawg lost it. He couldn't fucking stop laughing. It was the combination of Edie laughing, that he just a few minutes earlier literary saw his life flash before his eyes, and the panic he'd felt for quite some time before that. And then Edie, just laughing. She was very beautiful when she laughed, and she didn't do it in a feminine way. The woman was half screaming when she laughed. She even snorted, and her reaction to that was to slam her hand over her mouth and laugh even harder.
So he leaned against the dashboard, laughing his ass off.
“ Oh, come on!” Edie hit him in the side, but he still couldn't' stop.
He could hear the door on the drivers side opening and a few seconds later the one on his side. She was pushing his side, trying to get him to move over.
“Slide over and drive somewhere safe.”
“ Safe?” He asked and dried his eyes, sliding over to the driver’s seat.
“ Yeah. Where it's safe for me to drive.”
That made him laugh again. “You want me to drive to the Sahara?”
“Shut up!” She hit him again. “It's a big car.”
“ Baby, it's a truck.” He turned the ignition while looking at her. She was still smiling. He really liked her smiling. “It's designed to be big.”
“ Why couldn't he just give me something small? Like a Beetle or something else that's cute.”
“ He wants you safe. It's safer to drive around in a cardboard box than in a Beetle. And lady, you need a safe car.”
“ Where are you taking me?”
“ It's a quarry. Loads of room for you to get comfortable with the truck.”
She was quiet for a while and then turned to him. “Thanks, Dawg, this is really nice of you.”
“No problem, Nibbles.”
“ Why did you really want to do this?”
“ I'm the patient one.”
She sat still and then started to laugh. “Wow! Considering how you went off back there, anyone else would probably have killed me if you're the patient one.”
He considered it for a while and then made up his mind. “Actually, I asked for it because I think we got off on the wrong foot.”
“ With you violently hitting on me?”
“ Exactly. I'll behave and maybe the others'll stop glaring at me and Vasco might talk to me normally again.”
“ And you won't get blowjobs in my room?”
“ No. I'll behave.”
“ Good. Not saying you can't have blowjobs, just not in my room.”
“ I got that, Nibbles. And I'm getting blowjobs whether you like it or not.”
“ Why do you call me that?”
“ I'll tell you if...”
She wouldn't let him finish. “If I tell you what I have on my back. You said you weren't going to flirt with me.”
“I said I wasn't going to hit on you, but that's not what I'm doing.”
“ It's not?”
He turned and smiled at her. “You might've noticed, I'm pretty fucking interested in ink, and what people have on them means something. At least if you only have one.”
“What makes you think I only have one?” She did an annoyed face when he raised an eyebrow at her. “Okay, I only have one. Still not gonna tell you and if I do, I'd rather get your first name.”
She turned her head back towards the road without saying anything else.
“You're not gonna tell me?”
“ No.”
There was a twitch on her lips and he turned his eyes back to the road as well. Sooner or later he'd find out. Hopefully before she killed him while driving her truck.

DAWG HAD STARTED TO text me. It started with texts from him just telling me when we were going to practice driving. Pretty soon he texted random stuff, and I quickly figured out he had the humor of a twelve year old boy, but my sense of humor wasn't all that mature,
