She would never accept called herself a coward just when she saw Charlie Gentry coming toward her the entirely thought in her head was to get out of at that place in addition to fast.  She didn’t want whatever confrontations correct forthwith.  She place the automobile in contrary in addition to promptly backed into a vehicle that was in the parking lane behind her.  ‘Damn it.’ Was her commencement thought. ‘Now you lot did it, dumbass.  You’re non exclusively going to take to come confront to face up with Charlie simply take to bargain alongside the person whose machine you lot just backed into.  Thank God, I wasn’t going fast plenty to drive also much impairment to the motorcar or the driver.’  

She wasn’t quite finished unbuckling her seat belt when Charlie was at the machine door.  She was glad it was locked because it gave her a minute to assemble herself together earlier facing him and what she was certain would live the ‘angry’  auto driver.

“What the hell did you think yous were doing?” she heard the other driver yelling earlier Charlie said a give-and-take.

“I’k sorry.  I didn’t run into  you lot.”

“How the hell could y'all not run across me?  Did you even wait in your rearview mirror because I’d live damn hard to young woman inwards that truck?” the driver said equally he pointed to his at once dented vehicle.  Diane was appalled – the other vehicle was a tow truck together with it was truthful she had never looked inward her rearview mirror.  She was confront to face amongst 2 angry men.  Her heed was racing too when her telephone buzzed she quickly glanced down and saw the phone call was from her boss at the newspaper.  She could barely breathe.

The next matter she knew she was lying on the ground together with those angry faces were higher up her asking if she was okay.  Too shocked in addition to not knowing what happened she couldn’t answer and stared blankly.  Another confront came around hers as well as the strong aroma of ammonium inhalant brought her back to reality.  The stress of what had merely happened caused her to faint.  It had happened to her often inward her early on years when she was confronted with situations that were stressful only it hadn’t occurred in years.  She was helped to a sitting place in addition to assaulted with questions nigh her well-being.  Once she had recovered enough to adapt them, they helped her to stand.   Still somewhat in a fog, she docilely walked with Charlie Gentry equally he began leading her away from the scene.  With each pace, her heed became more than together with more than clear.

“No, no. What almost my machine? What nearly leaving the scene of the crime?”

“Diane, I’ll handgrip it.” Charlie said inwards his almost soothing musical note.”

“Okay,” in addition to and then she remembered this was Charlie Gentry. “How are yous going to hold it?”  He laughed so.

“No worries, Diane. Our personal issues will pass off at some other fourth dimension together with home.  Right now, I exclusively desire to brand sure yous’re okay.  My assistant will convey your auto upwards to the building afterwards sorting through as well as handling the particulars.” Diane knew she would live grateful but that trivial fear however hung back inward her listen.

True to his discussion Charlie brought her to the reception expanse and sat amongst her until his assistant returned in addition to handed Diane the keys to her car.  “All settled, Ms. Randolph.  Your insurance society has been called in addition to notified alongside the data from the other driver.”  Since the accident occurred on individual belongings, then to mouth, in that location volition live no charges.”

Charlie Gentry told his assistant that he was going to take Ms. Randolph habitation too asked that she follow them inward his motorcar.  “If that is okay amongst you lot, Diane.”

“Yes, I’1000 a lilliputian woozy correct now in addition to I’m not certain I’one thousand tally to effort.”

Charlie drove her habitation without incident.  He was the perfect gentleman as well as Diane understood why he was so well thought of inward the community.  She was nonetheless reeling from the details of the twenty-four hours when her phone buzzed again too she saw the face up of her boss. 

‘Shit, I forgot most that,’ she said to herself. Expecting to be berated at the real to the lowest degree together with fired at the nigh because of her harassment complaint to the county supervisor virtually Charlie Gentry, she dreaded facing the inevitable simply she instantly clicked on the call up anyway.  “Are yous okay?” she heard her editor order.

 “I’m fine - distressing I didn’t become dorsum to you sooner.”

“Just and then y'all’re okay.  Mr. Gentry’second assistant phone and explained about the accident.  What I was calling most was some other story I wanted y'all to embrace, only it tin can look until tomorrow.  Take the residuum of the mean solar day and nosotros’ll  come across inward the morn.”

Diane breathed a sigh of relief.  Apparently, he didn’t know nigh her visit to the County Supervisor too she hoped he’d never find out.  Now all she had to deal with was Charlie Gentry.  Knowing what she did, she didn’t blame him for being upset – she had almost ruined his reputation over a footling affair.   But angry or non, he had just helped her out of a real jam as well as inward the about gentlemanly style.  He was a conundrum or was it her that couldn’t look to assort the fact that he was a gentleman just that he could likewise think she deserved a spanking.

‘There was that petty thought once more.’  This fourth dimension she felt a tremble equally the idea of him giving her a spanking formulated inwards her listen.  ‘After all, how bad could it be?’

Later that eventide, Charlie called to cheque on her.  He asked if he could bring dinner past so that she didn’t accept to mean almost fixing something for herself.  She told him non to get to whatsoever problem she could always open a tin of soup.

“A can of soup is not dinner.  Do yous take a preference, if not, I idea I’d stop at Asian Kitchen together with pick upward about Chinese.”

“Why are yous being and so dainty?”

“Because I am squeamish together with I fall out to like you lot, even if y'all have proven to live a handful.”

“Charlie, you have no idea in addition to if yous ask for references I’thousand sure you’ll dorsum off inward a hurry.”

He laughed.  “Chinese it is. I’ve always similar a challenge.  I’ll live in that location in nearly thirty minutes.’

When he arrived alongside ii very large bags filled alongside nutrient she was prepare.  She had spent her xxx minutes primping herself and the flat.

“What did yous do, buy out the menu?” She asked when she took the bags from his hand.

“I wasn’t certain what you liked as well as what we don’t swallow we tin can ever donate to the shelter.  Do you lot take anything to drink?”  Diane nonetheless had trouble realizing this guy was for real.

“There’sec or so beer in addition to an open bottle of wine inward the fridge. Is that okay?”

“What form of beer?”

“The kind I drinkable. What yous thought possibly I might accept stocked upwardly on your preferred make afterward reading upwardly on yous as background for our last interview?’

“There’sec the feistiness I know as well as take come up to await from you.”

“Charlie, before you lot make me sad virtually having you come over too I’one thousand pretty certain y'all volition, I desire to thank y'all for today.  I really appreciate your kindness.”  He laughed.

“What are yous laughing at?”

“You.  You seemed to except the worst of me.”

“You threatened to spank me.”

“I didn’t,  I entirely asked if you lot thought your demeanour earned a spanking.”

“Isn’t that the same thing?  Besides the instant time, yous mentioned a spanking would be of swell do good to me.”

 He laughed again. “You’re right in addition to I withal experience that fashion just I didn’t threaten only mentioned my thoughts on the matter.” 

There was that nervousness inward her tum once more as well as something else – a certain wetness that was a telltale sign of her excitement.  She rolled her eyes.
