Backing my truck out of Samantha's drive way, has me feeling all types of feelings. Most is hard to explain but the strongest is how I don't like leaving her.
Seeing her face light up when I asked her on a date, that got me in the best way. I'll carry that happy look for the rest of my life and want to keep that look on her face as much as I can.
"Well Tanker, we have to figure out the special and best date for Samantha. Any ideas?" I glance over at him in the seat.
He is back to tilting his head at me.
"Yeah, I didn't think so." I chuckle and reach over to pet his head since I am not having to change gears.
Either way I am taking her flowers when I see her once this haul is done. That is the staple for a date. Right?
As of right now I have loads lined up and set for me to deliver for a little bit but once again they are all around this area where I may be gone a couple days at a time but with breaks while around this area. It is all to do with the factories around here and their sister ones.
I change gears and shake my head. That is enough thoughts about work for now honestly. Other than maybe finding a truck place that sells trailers and how to find things for around the area for drives that can be done in a day.
I am curious what type of flowers Samantha likes. When we hiked she got happy about all of them we seen and I know her favorite color is hard to choose. With flowers though I don't think it is just color preference. Could get a multicolored bundle of flowers? A variety of different ones.
Maybe I could get ahold of Lola to ask? That may seem weird though calling her sister. Plus, I didn't know who may be at the clinic currently and not even sure what Samantha has told them yet herself. Makes me wonder if her grandmother told her mom and sister about our stop there together.
I will figure the flowers out. The variety bundle seems to be the best route to go and maybe get lucky one of her favorites is in it.
As for the date itself. I could take her to a fancy restaurant and we can go looking through stores, take her shopping. I could take her on a picnic and then stargaze because of the time I will be back to Blue Sky's after this haul. Or I could take her to the amusement park that is just a town over with a fancy meal.
Three different options but I'm not sure which one to do. In a way it may be three entire dates I have in the books and ready to go. Not to mention if I think of something better.
I just want it to be special and one to remember since we haven't officially had a date. It was a meet and we spoke several times on the phone, then I saved her unknowingly. To falling in love from talking to her alone and the short amount of time with her in my truck with me.
Now I want to spend even more time with her. Not just for the best sex of my life either, that feels like a mere bonus to the amazing woman Samantha is and not just all she is.
I put the truck in park and get Tanker's vest placed on him. We get out of the truck and the supervisor walks out.
"You guys ready to load?" I shake his hand.
"Always. This is a big one for you." The guy chuckles in a gruff voice.
I stand by and count as they load up pallets of material into the trailer. At least I know what it all is so I know rough estimates to make sure I don't get over loaded. The last thing I need it to be over the weight limit to haul.
I padlock the door and sign the papers taking the two copies I'm supposed too. Giving a thanks to the guy, Tanker and I get back in the truck.
Leaving over I grab the clipboard and place the papers on it. Where it goes until it is delivered and signed off the last time and I give one slip to the guy and I keep the last for my records.
Pressing a button I power on the GPS and place the address in to start the directions.
"Well, I won't make it there by then." I sigh at the machine.
All the stops I have to take for breaks due to mileage regulations. Be nice to make there a whole 13 hours earlier if I could.
At least with this being a larger load, I get paid more. Still not like I'm hurting for money, I have more than enough to buy a new trailer along with the land with a house I would love to have and still not being hurting for money.
Though now, I could see myself retired and old. Maybe even surrounded by grandchildren. Sitting on a front porch with coffee in my hand and a water gun in the other from where I played with all the grandkids.
Now I am thinking way to far ahead. I do know Samantha wants to help buy a house and I'm willing just so she doesn't feel like I've stepped on her toes. She knows what I make and how much I have, with her I didn't care if she knew. Her expression was priceless when she heard the repair costs we had to have done and even moreso when I told her what sits in my account.
As far as kids and grandkids goes, well I'll take it as it comes really. I could handle just having fur babies the rest of my life if I don't have any actual children. That is a topic for much later though, I know that Samantha is on the pill and we aren't at that stage for having kids together.
Tanker and I make it to the interstate where I shift through the gears and merge into the traffic.
"Just a couple of days and I'll be back, little paws. I don't plan on this being a three night trip. Only two, so I can get back to you." I whisper to myself as a promise to Samantha. Hoping this haul goes smoothly and be back maybe even slightly earlier than she expects me to be.
A/N--- Hey Hey Guys!!!
Does Shane have so good date ideas?
Which one may Shane choose to do for them or will he give Samantha a choice?
Truly hope everyone is enjoying the story!
