that you get.”
    “ I saw you with a hand up a girl’s skirt, and she was possibly younger than me. How do you think that made me feel?”
    “ Doll, she was not even close to younger than you. I'm not that bad.”
    “ She wasn't that much older,” Edie protested.
    Dawg came and sat down next to them. “What are you talking about?”
    “The fact that I saw Vasco fondling a girl about my age.” She gave him a sweet smile. “You know, at Brick's barbecue. I'm pretty sure I saw you there too.”
    “ I have some memories of you seeing me there,” Dawg said, and they exchanged a strange look.
    “ It was a nice party,” Vasco said. He suspected that there was more to that story, but he'd take that up with her later. “So you’re moving in today?”
    “ Yeah, if I have the time and the skill to maneuver that truck to buy the stuff I need.”
    “ You’re moving?” Dawg asked, looking really surprised. And he also noted Edie looking a bit uncomfortable.
    “ Yeah. A bit too old to live with my sister.”
    Vasco wanted to poke the two of them a little. See what was really going on and how they reacted to things. So looking at the two of them carefully, he took a jab.
    “Not all that easy to get laid there.”
    Edie was blushing, and Dawg initially smiled and then it faded. Yup. This could get ugly, or nice, depending on what happened, but he was leaning towards ugly. At least if Dawg didn’t have some miraculous revelation and suddenly realize that it wasn’t the amount of pussy that was the thing, it was the quality.
    Edie mumbled something and then glared at him.
    “ How are the driving lessons going?” he asked instead of asking her what she just said.
    “ Fine,” Dawg lit a smoke. “Think she’s fine now.” He looked at Edie as he stood up.
    She nodded while looking down on the ground. “Thanks.”
    Vasco didn’t miss it. Dawg was pissed, Edie was embarrassed, and he needed to have another talk to both of them.
     
    -o0o-
     
    Rationally, Dawg knew he couldn’t be pissed. He had nothing to be pissed about. At all. Not like she was his girlfriend. She wasn’t seeing anyone, and all that had been said was that she wanted to get laid. So why was he pissed? He could relate to that feeling. Wanting to get laid.
    He knew why, though. He liked her, definitely had a thing for her, and he knew exactly how fucking hypocritical it was considering he wasn't holding off on other women while waiting to see what happened between the two of them. He wasn't sure why he'd done that thing in her room. Probably to provoke her, even if he couldn't have been sure that she'd walk in on them. He got into her truck and drove it into the garage; he’d promised to check a few things before she drove off.
    Twenty minutes later she came walking in.
    “ Are we okay?” she hesitantly asked.
    “ Sure,” he smiled. “Why wouldn’t we be?”
    She didn’t answer, just shrugged. “Thanks for this. The lessons and fixing it. I owe you one.”
    “Yup. So I’m expecting a free beer if I ever come to The Rover.”
    “ Absolutely.”
    He closed the hood and leaned against it and she moved to lean next to him.
    “So you’re planning on parking this beast today?” He could clearly see her panicking about that and laughed. “I’ll tag along. And I’ll drive. I’ll even carry stuff for you if you’re nice.”
    “ I’d be happy if you just park the damn thing.”
    “ You’re gonna have to learn.”
    “ Maybe not today?”
    He mock sighed while wiping his hands. “Okay.”
    He didn’t only park ‘the damn thing’, he carried her bed, bought her food and eventually sat on her floor in the apartment with only a bed and a carpet, drinking beer and having pizza. His back hurt a bit because when they'd carried her bed up the stairs, she dropped her end of it.
    “ I'm really sorry,” Edie said with a giggle when tried to stretch his back.
    “ I can hear just how sorry you are.” She just continued her giggling and he
