think about it, the more I want to be under the stars, just the two of us, sharing a sleeping bag in front of a fire. She wouldn’t have to do a thing and I’d see to everything. If she objected strongly to sleeping outside, I know of a few cabins that could be rented.
Maybe someday I’ll convince her to go. It would be fun. Hell, it would be great.
We pull into a hot dog stand that I went to with my uncle and his kids a few weeks ago. Loved the chili dogs with onions and have been hungry for since. Then again, perhaps I should avoid the onions. At least not on a date.
“I love this place.” Jacqueline gets out of the car before I have a chance to open her door. I grab her hand as we stroll up to the window. We could have parked in a closer spot, and a waitress would have come to us, but I don’t really want to eat in the car, even if they have cool trays that are supported by your window.
A perky waitress comes to the open counter. It’s open on three sides, with windows to shut when it’s closed. Tall bar stools are placed at the counters and some people are sitting at them. Others are at the round tables, while some eat in their cars.
“What can I get for you?” the girl asks.
“Chili dog basket, but only one chili dog instead of two,” Jacqueline answers. “And a root beer.”
“Anything besides chili?”
“Onions.”
Well, if my date’s going to have onions, so am I.
“What will you have?” she asks me.
“Same, but two dogs.”
I give her my name and then Jacqueline and I find a table and take a seat.
“Things still going good at the camp?”
“Yep. The kids are great this round.”
They call my name and I go grab our food. Jackie unwraps a chili dog and bites into it. I’m focused on those lips and the dog and our Sunday morning conversation comes back to me in a flash. That perfectly rounded mouth sinking over the bun and dog…I shut off the image and hope my dick doesn’t get any harder.
“That’s great. I mean about the campers, and that.” I finally manage to say and quickly take a drink of my root beer.
“It is.” She dips a fry into some ketchup. “But Theo pointed out, we aren’t really giving these kids a break and that it should be a high school.”
I give it some thought. “A high school like that would be great, but I don’t see how it’s possible.”
“Me either. It’s too bad though. A ton of kids could benefit but I haven’t a clue how something like that could even be developed.”
“You do want to be a principal one day,” I point out.
A small smile comes to her face. “Yeah, I do. Maybe one day, once I’ve got some experience, I’ll figure it out.” She crumples up the paper from her hot dog and sets it aside. “So, have you decided on a house?”
“No. I don’t think I want to buy yet.”
She nods.
“I’m just not ready. Hopefully I can find a decent place to rent though. And soon. I’m sure my aunt and uncle would like to see me gone, not that they’ve said anything, but I am taking up half of their basement and I really want to get in my own place.”
“Me too.” She blinks up at me. “Not that I want you in your own place.” Her face turns pink. “I want my own place. It’s hard going back home after living on your own, but I don’t see that happening until next summer.”
My heart stops for a minute. Does that mean she isn’t taking the job in Queens? Do I even ask?
“It’s better that I stay home and help Theo, and hope I can get a good job next year, after he graduates.”
It’s all I can do to keep from grinning. Since I met Jackie, and not knowing if she was going to be here or in Queens, it’s been kind of hard deciding where I want to live. If she was going to be in Queens, I’d find a place in Albany, so I’d be closer to the train station for trips into New York. But, since she is going to be around here, I’ll go back to looking for a place to rent between the two towns. Even if things don’t work
