Chapter 9

For two weeks now, Carrie lived a fantasy life. She’d spent every night in Derick’s bed. Sometimes he’d cook dinner when he got home and sometimes, she’d have dinner prepared. They never really talked about their meals, but they sort of evolved into a rhythm. And it was nice. Really nice!

After dinner, they cleaned up his kitchen, talking about whatever came to mind. Then, he would take her hand and lead her out onto the back porch and they’d talk more. Sometimes about politics and Carrie was surprised to find their views were so closely aligned since she was a liberal democrat and she assumed he was more conservative. But she found that she was more fiscally republican and socially democratic. As was Derick. So their conversations were spirited and enlightening.

Carrie smiled as she walked through the newly painted living room, wondering where her “one night” discipline had gone.

But she didn’t care! Not one little bit!

As she poured coffee, Carrie stared out the window and saw Derick come out of his house in just a pair of jeans, holding a cup of coffee. He turned to glance towards her house and Carrie smiled as warmth rushed over her. He used to step out of his house and look towards his garden. Now he looked towards her. She knew there could be no future for them. She’d have to move on, and that day kept creeping closer. But for now, she was absorbing every wonderful, tender moment with Derick. Carrie promised to savor every one of his tender, gentle caresses that never failed to make her crazy in bed and warm her heart all the other times.

Instead of standing there sipping coffee and watching him, Carrie slipped her feet into her work boots and, with her own coffee in hand, walked across the grass to meet him.

“Good morning,” she whispered softly, wanting to preserve the serenity of the sun coming up, the mist that had settled over the earth. She loved this moment when the air was damp with humidity and everything seemed to pause, as if the birds and the crickets and the blades of grass were just waiting for that sunshine to inch higher in the sky and warm everything up.

“Good morning,” he replied with his gravelly, sexy, morning voice as his arm moved around her waist, pulling her close for a morning kiss. He tasted like coffee and happiness, she thought dreamily as she lifted up onto her toes to kiss him back.
