Chapter 15

I can’t solve my problems with cupcakes, but it sure makes me feel better.

I try to stretch and roll over only to find I’m stuck. What in the world? I’m lying on my side with a heavy band across my stomach trapping me in place. I open my eyes to survey the situation. Instead of snuggled under my comforter in bed, I’m lying on the sofa. I look down and see I’m still wearing my clothes from yesterday. I’m trying to put the pieces of the puzzle together when I feel someone kiss my hair. “Good morning, sweetheart,” Ben mumbles in a sleepy voice which, if I were being honest with myself, is sexy as all get out.

What’s going on here? I remember Ben following me home from the University. He came up to my apartment, and we ended up watching chick lit movies while gorging on sushi. I must have fallen asleep on the sofa at some point. I turn to Ben who is scrunched between me and the back of the sofa. “Why didn’t you wake me?” Oh wait, that’s not the imperative question. “And why are you still here?”

He gives me that dazzling smile with the one dimple; not looking one bit chastised. “No way I was going to give up the chance to spend the night with you in my arms.” He leans down and gives me a hard closed-mouth kiss while he pets my hair. I don’t even want to think about the tangled mess my hair must be now.

Wait! Why can I see Ben’s face? It should be dark out. I never wake up after the sun has made an appearance. Even though we open an hour later on Saturdays, I still should have been downstairs by five. “Oh no,” I try to pull myself off the sofa, which is a pretty monumental task as my legs are entwined with Ben’s, and his arm is holding me across the waist like a steel band. “I’m beyond late. I need to get to work.”

Ben’s not cooperating at all. His arm tightens around me, and he pulls me even tighter against his chest. “I called Anna last night. She said she’s got everything covered.”

What? “When did you do that?”

Ben chuckles. “After you fell asleep for the third time.”

I blink but can’t think of a response to that. It’s actually super sweet. I turn to check the time on my DVD player and see it’s approaching seven. “I really need to get up and help Anna open the store now,” I insist as I wrestle Ben’s arm from around me.

Ben allows me to get up and pull away but when I’m nearly in the hallway, he speaks. “I plan to spend as many nights as possible with you wrapped in my arms. And some day…” He turns and hits me with those chocolate eyes. “It’s going to be every night.”

I have no words. I stare at him until he motions for me to get my act together.
