Part 95

Two days later, it’s after 9pm by the time Grace and Josh finished work. It had been a frantic shift where they hadn’t even had time to eat and on the way home Josh made a suggestion that he thought would help them unwind “hey you want to go for a drive when we get home? We could take the ute out and get some dinner while we’re at it.”

Grace was keen as she was feeling tense after their fraught work day and knew, feeling as she did, she wouldn’t be able to sit and watch tv nor would she be able to sleep. Also she hadn’t been in the ute yet so she hoped a drive would help her relax. She smiled “sounds good to me.”

After dropping their gear at home Josh led Grace out of the apartment and getting in the ute they headed off for a drive down by the river. Grabbing some dinner Josh found a quiet spot overlooking the water and they ate in silence taking in the peaceful surroundings. The night was warm but being late and a Monday night there were few people about.

As they finished eating Josh handed Grace a beer and slumping down into the seat with his head resting back on the seat he took a drink of his beer as he looks out over the water.

Sipping her beer, her mind still going over the events of the day, Grace leaned back against the passenger door with her legs lying along the bench seat. She looked over at Josh.

Feeling her eyes on him Josh looked over at her and frowning slightly at the expression on her face he asked “what?”

Grace smiled, “nothing” she said. She needed a distraction so she decided to have some fun and as soon as Josh turned back to contemplate the water Grace lifted her leg and ran her bare foot along his thigh.

Josh’s head snapped around. He stared at her and warned “what are you doing Grace? You don’t want to start that here.”

“But what if I do?” she asked, her voice husky.

Josh groaned and closed his eyes as her teasing and her touch had the usual effect on his body. His hand came down hard on her foot stopping its motion. He growled “Grace either stop now or I won’t be able to and you’ll just have to deal with it.”

Grace laughed and moved her foot off his leg.
