Shane's words shock me and I could easily tell how my past ticked him off.
For the first time in my life, I am going to try this.
"Yes, I would like to be your girlfriend." I smile over at him, since I was looking at our hands linked together.
Everything about his touch and his voice calms me, but makes my heart flutter all at the same time.
Shane gets the largest smile I have ever seen. I can't help but mirror it with my own.
"I won't let you regret this. Even though I'm over the road I will make sure to show you I'm still with you."
"I look forward to it. Same for me, though I will be waiting on you and be what you need me to be." I smile.
"How about we get off at the next exit for dinner? It may be a little early but I got to stop for a small break." Shane looks over to me.
"Sounds great to me since all we had for lunch was snacks." I couldn't help but laugh.
It isn't long before Shane is slowing the truck down and we are pulling off the exit ramp from the interstate.
"Well little paws take your pick on which place looks good to eat." Shane smiles as he is stopped because of the light.
I look over and one place sounds nice.
"What about the burger place?"
"Sounds great." Shane nods. "Hope you have an appetite because that place makes them from fresh beef and they are huge burgers."
My mouth waters at the thought of it, or maybe it is how Shane's voice sounds as he describes it. No matter because I am starving.
In no time, Shane has the truck parked behind the diner and we get out with Shane putting on Tanker's vest. As we are walking around to the front, his hand is on my lower back and he steps one out slightly to hold the door for me.
A elderly lady steps up and the vibes I get from her remind me of Gram so much.
"Hi dears. Take a seat where ever you would like. What drinks can I start you with?"
Shane looks down to me. "A diet coke please."
"I will have a sweet tea." Shane smiles and guides me over to a booth.
I sit down and Tanker gets under the table once Shane sits down. I peek underneath and his head rests on Shane's feet.
Our drinks are being placed on the table in just a few seconds after we sit.
"Do you know what you may like or would you like to look at the menus?" The lady points to them on the table.
"I think we know just what we want." Shane smiles and nods his head.
