don’t blow it when you talk with her today and grow a set of balls. Try to be civil. A strange concept, I’m sure, but it usually gets you a date if you don’t act like a dick.”
“She hasn’t exactly been sweet to me either,” Cameron actually blushed and leaned back in his chair with a big smile on his face. When they got up to leave, Cameron leaned down and kissed Georgia on her forehead, “Thanks sweetie, you do know you’re too good for Dakota right?” He jumped out of the way and took off before Dakota could hit him in the arm again.
“Damn youngster,” Dakota said smiling as he watched Cameron walk off. Okay so he’s twenty-four but he’s still such a shit. Then he looked at Georgia, “I’ll have to beat him up later for kissing my girl. Let’s get you to work. I promise I’ll come by a couple of times today for you to work on my shoulder.”
“That’s a promise you better keep Mr. Bull Rider.”
Chapter Eleven
Dakota received a text from Cameron: Kate took my piece offering to go to the concert tonight with me and we’ll talk afterwards. So the truce is on, at least temporarily. I’m glad we weren’t working so we could go. Thanks for thinking about me .
Dakota smiled and closed his phone. It would be interesting to see how long that truce lasted the way they always ended up growling at each other, Dakota thought as he walked over to the Sport’s Center to see Georgia.
As he entered the door, he held back and watched her working on a cowboy’s knee. He guessed she was doing an evaluation by the way she was pushing his knee up and down and sideways. He’s had a few of those evals himself; luckily for him he’d only had sprained knees and no ACL problems. The cowboy’s expression told Dakota that she was giving him bad news. Dr. Witting came over and watched and listened to what she said. He followed up with a quick recheck and confirmed the bad news. She put her hand on his shoulder and talked to him for a few minutes before she went to get some ice. On her way back she saw him and her eyes lit up. There was that smile he loved so much.
“Dakota, it’s about time you brought me that sorry shoulder to work on. Get over here,” she patted an empty padded bench, while she finished taping the ice to the other cowboy’s knee. She told the cowboy to stay there for twenty minutes and she’d try to find him some crutches.
“No shitting way…I mean sorry, ma’am, but I can walk on my own without crutches,” she just looked at him and shook her head.
Then she turned her full attention to Dakota. Since it was her first day on the job he didn’t grab her and plant a big kiss on her like he wanted, but he did reach for her hand. “Let me see how your shoulder is doing today?” she said.
He whispered in her ear, “I think you checked it last night, darlin’ and I had plenty of movement when we...” And he quickly kissed her ear when no one was looking.
Her face flamed red. “Dakota behave,” she playfully growled at him. After doing a few tests, she told him that she was going to hook up some electrodes to his shoulder that should help with the pain. She’d ice him at the same time. After applying the wires, and turning the dials up to see how high he could stand, she stopped at ten. “You cowboys have such a high tolerance for pain. If this gets too much you let me know and I’ll back it down a little. We’ll do this for twenty minutes and then I’ll massage your shoulder.”
“Like last night?” he smiled at her.
“You’re so going to get punished tonight if you don’t behave.”
“Honey, I can’t wait. By the way,” he handed her a room card. “Here is my extra room key in case I’m running late. I have to meet with my sponsors at three-thirty. Do you want me to get Cameron to walk or ride with you back to the hotel?”
She put the key card in her back pocket. “No, I’m a big
