Debbi Rawlins - Anything Goes...

“To dig?”

“That, and to see the sights.” He brought the beer to his lips, drained it and opened the small refrigerator. “What about you?”

“That’s all?” She laughed, and he stared blankly at her. “Silly me. Everyone’s been to Kenya. Must make for very boring conversation.”

Ignoring her sarcasm, he got out another beer. “In school I did a lot of studying and an equal amount of partying. Just your average college Joe.”

“You’ve been everywhere. That’s hardly average.”

He shrugged. “I haven’t traveled much since. I’ve come here on vacation for the past three years.”

She frowned. He’d been dead set on studying archeology, on making his mark in the same field as his parents. That required travel. “I’m assuming you studied archeology.”

“Oh, yeah. Got my master’s and all that.” He gave her a pensive look. “You always wanted to teach. Is that what you’re doing?”

“I will when I go back to Oroville next week. Well, in two months when the school year starts.” She paused, hoping he’d continue. “You still haven’t told me what you’re doing.”

“Trying to seduce you.”

“Come on.” She gave him a playful jab, but her insides were already turning to butter. “I’m serious.”

He took a swig of beer, and faced her, determination and desire blatant in his eyes. “So am I. But—” He held up his hands in surrender. “We’ll take it slow.”

“Thank you,” she said, her voice a breathless betrayal. “Let’s talk some more.”

“Oh, brother.”

She ignored his grumpy expression. “How are your parents?”

“Divorced.”

“You’re kidding.”

“Why the surprise? It happens to couples all the time.”

“So they don’t work together anymore?”

He gave her a mocking look. “That’s about the only thing they could do together without fighting.”

“I didn’t know,” she murmured. As a boy he’d told a different story. To him they were like gods.

“No big deal.” He set down the beer. “If we’re going to talk, sweetheart, it’s not going to be about the past.” And then he reached for her. “Let’s talk about what we’re going to do tonight….”
