Wheels In Motion Ch. 03

Kat leaned back and blew out a long breath. "Wh-o-o-o. Well, you're full of surprises tonight. So, what are you asking me?"

The words came out in a rush, and once I started they just kept coming. "Were you straight when you and Megan started dating? Or did you think that but you were wrong? How did you come around to wanting to be with her? How did you get your brain around it? What happened? How did you go from being straight to being married to Megan?"

She looked away and silence stretched out between us.

Finally, I said, "Shit, I'm sorry I asked. I know this has to be crazy personal for you, so let's just--"

"It's kind of a long story, Liz," she said, interrupting me.

I looked at her, struggling to maintain an impassive expression.

She sighed, then she stopped a server who was passing by our table. "Did I see the drink special tonight was a melon margarita?"

"Yes ma'am," said the college-aged girl, "we use Repositivo tequila and hand-squeezed melon purée with--"

"That's great, please bring me one of those, then bring me another exactly fifteen minutes after that, and keep 'em coming. Thank you." She turned back to me and rolled her eyes. "I can't believe she just 'ma'am-ed' me. Okay. I'll tell you my story, but you're buying me as many drinks as I want, for as long as it takes, and then you're paying for my Über home. Deal?"

I tried and failed to suppress a smile. "It's a deal."
