Chapter 30

Audrey

Oh my God! Beth and I stayed up way too late and there may have been way too much wine consumed; I needed the spa day so badly. Now, if I could only get to the kitchen for some coffee without my head exploding and showering pieces of my brain all over the floor. That may sound extreme, but it’s totally accurate I promise.

The night of Jeremiah’s surprise was probably the best time of my life. I felt a little sad that a surprise party at a skating rink and sleepover with my sister ranked at the top of my list. But, taking a page from the Dr. Xander “Think Positive” handbook, I’m choosing to feel lucky that I have family and friends who would help make my birthday special.

My body tingled with anticipation of my time with Jeremiah that night; I was still feeling the effects of his touch from the night before. That man is beyond good and I still don’t feel like I deserve him, but I’m going to work my ass off to make sure he’s never disappointed for choosing me. Did I really tell my first actual boyfriend that I love him for the first time in a skating rink? Yep, that actually happened. I had to smile at it; it was sort of just ‘us’. Almost getting thrown out of the party supply store dressed as a gorilla? Check. Confessing my love in a skating rink? Check. No one ever accused me of being too conventional.

The night with Beth was perfect. We’ve been growing closer ever since therapy started and I started accepting my past, accepting my actions, and looking toward my future. But, that night, we got to just sit around and talk. We of course discussed our men. Beth is head-over-heels in love with Nate and it’s pretty sickeningly cute if you ask me. She laughed at me when I told her that and then pointed her finger at me and said I should look in the mirror because I’m just as in love with Jeremiah. I blushed but didn’t say anything; I didn’t need to say it, she knows it’s true.

My head had finally stopped spinning and I was dressed in comfy clothes. Our spa day started in an hour but we wanted to stop for a light breakfast first. It was a gorgeous day so we parked in front of the spa and then walked to breakfast. This was already the best birthday I’ve had since my mom died.

***********

Spa day was perfect. The nap afterwards was just as wonderful. Now I was ready for my evening with Jeremiah. He was coming shortly and I was a bundle of anticipation. I was in comfy clothes and hoping that he dressed down for the night as well. I wanted to do nothing but snuggle in his arms, talk into the late night, and then, well that part doesn’t really need a description.

When my doorbell rang, I was in his arms within seconds.
