All my mind has been on is Samantha. I have wanted to call her since I left the clinic from that delivery, but within an hour of leaving I have not had any phone signal with where I have been.

Sometimes makes it hard to find the right plan to have when you are all over the country. There is many places that I go from time to time that have absoutely no towers around to be able for anyone to have signal. The only way people know if something happen is through the CB radio or a bypasser going to get help where there is a landline to call from.

The only thing I can hope is that Samantha doesn't feel like I kiss and ran from her. How could anyone run from her in the first place?

I didn't even want to leave before we at least got to talk some more but there was this load to be done. I honestly couldn't pass the money up since they are paying me more than double what I even asked for.

I step back in the cab with the people unloading the things from the back. I pick my phone up and thankfully, I have signal now. Pulling up her number, I press dial and listen as it rings until going to voicemail. Instead of leaving a message, I hang the phone up.

With a glance at the clock, I can tell with her time she may be busy with it being a late Sunday evening. I think the clinic is closed but she has a life too. Also right now she is a hour ahead of the time I am with where I am.

A deep breath escapes my lungs and I lay my head back. Rolling my head over I see Tanker staring out into the evening sky before us.

"What do you think Tanker, should we find a hotel after this?"

He turns his head towards me with ear perked up.

"We should get a room and then tomorrow night we can sleep in the truck." I think over the next few days.

Once this is finished we can rest tonight and then drive tomorrow to get picked up by nightfall. This next run will take a few days time because of the pick up location going to be delivered close to Blue Sky's again and close to my hometown. I seriously have to make time and check on my storage unit.

It seems like more of my loads lately has placed me around Blue Sky's. I can't help but wonder if it is fates way of pushing me there, like it is where I am meant to be. Also because I know Samantha is there and she is a lady I would like to get to know better.

The main guy steps up the stairs next to my window and I hand him the papers to sign. In just a second he signs and takes his copy from the two left and we thank each other. Turning in the seat, I place my slip into a small box that holds all my final papers to where I will place them in the storage locker.

One thing I love about the way technology has done is the way I can be paid instantly. Once the final signature is done, they put it in and everything goes to my account immediately. Makes life so much easier than the few that I have came across that still tries to use checks, which then I have to carry until I can get them cashed or adding into my account. Main goal is to have a bank with many branches found over the states incase need to take action on something quickly.

Tanker and I get a room at the closet hotel. It doesn't take long before we are settled in and already done up the clothes I had dirty. For the heck of it all, I flip on the television to see what is going on the news.

My phone rings on the table and I get up from the bed to see it is Samantha. A wide smile covers my face, a light feeling runs through me.

"Hello, Samantha." I answer the phone.

"Hi Shane. Sorry I missed your call earlier. I have spent all day with my Gram and then we had a family dinner with my sister and mom." Her voice comes out softly, but in a rush.

I can't help but laugh lightly. "It is all okay. I would have called you before today but I didn't have signal."

"I just thought maybe you wanted a kiss and run. I had thought most will go for the full deal before leaving." She snickers.

"I prefer not to bang it and leave it." I shake my head and carry the phone with me to the bed where I lay down.

"Aren't you the sweetest. Can't say I have not done it a few times but normally if I let loose then I have had a few drinks first."

"Are you a player Samantha?" I can't help but smirk.

"Not really, I have done things in the past I am not proud of but at the time I didn't know about battery operated help or showers head adjustments."

I can't help but let the cough out from the utter shock, if I had been taking a drink it would have been spit every where. I choke on my own spit though from that statement.

Samantha's voice comes through laughing the hardest I have ever heard.

"You are one honest woman." I finally let a simple chuckle out.

"I prefer to tell it as it is. There is somethings that I keep inside but I get the good words to help others through my Gram's." I can picture her shrugging like she has done when she is being bluntly honest.

"You don't take compliments well do you?" I smirk.

"Not really. I am not used to them and they give me weird feelings that I can't explain." I hear her sigh just a little.

"That is too bad. I fear it something you will have to get used to."

"Why would that be?" She sounds curious.

"Because I hope to keep talking with you and you're someone worthy of all the compliments in the world."

Her end of the line is silent and I can't help but smirk, wondering if she is blushing.

"I would like that very much."

"So you were off today?"

"Yes, we have the clinic closed on Sundays and just have the emergency line open. Tomorrow morning though, I have to fly out the annual vet convention. Jovi went last year, so it is my turn."

I look over to the clock.

"What time do you have to fly out?" I try to hide my concern with how late it is for her and hoping she doesn't have to get up to early.

"Wheels up at three in the morning."

I close my eyes and lay back down. "Little paws you won't even get a full four hours of sleep by the time you have to get up and be there."

"I enjoy talking with you though. Since we been talking, I made it home and took my shoes off so now just laying in bed."

"Like I said your an honest woman." I laugh.

"What are you up to?"

"I am actually laying in bed too, Tanker and I got a room tonight. We will be driving tomorrow to get to a new pickup location by nightfall."

We talk and talk as the minutes tick by, every once in a awhile I can hear a yawn slip through the phone but she is relunctant to hang up and so am I.
