Most At Peace With

Vivian hadn’t expected yesterday to go as wonderfully as it had.

The only thing that would have made it better would have been if Brent spent the night. She knew that was asking a lot though because she hadn’t given him a heads up on her plan.

After the two of them had gotten dressed, they went to the backyard and played with Sammie, giving her the attention she’d been wanting while her master was enjoying himself without her.

Vivian never thought she was a selfish person in life—not like her parents were—but she wasn’t sharing Brent during an intimate time.

The two of them spent the afternoon together. Her making dinner for them, Sammie having a few scraps in her bowl too. No brownies for the puppy, though she was begging for them.

When dinner was done and cleaned up, they went back to her room for another round of action. The second time much slower than the first but no less intense.

She’d felt loose and limber this morning when she should be a bundle of nerves going to Brent’s parents’ house for a cookout.

“You didn’t have to make anything,” he said when they were in the car on the way. Sammie was not thrilled to be in the backseat and had twice tried to come between the bucket seats to get on her lap.

“I hope they are fine in the back and Sammie doesn’t try to jump over the seat to get them.”

“You have them wrapped well and in the plastic container. Even if she thinks to do that, she can’t damage them. Or I don’t think she can.”

“Who knows? She’d rather get in the front and on my lap.”

“And then she’ll cover you with hair before we get there. She’s fine in the backseat and you know it. She’s spoiled.”

“She’s spoiled because her daddy made her that way,” she said.

He turned to look at her. “I know you would have liked me to stay last night, but between not having clothes…”

“Which you could have gone the few blocks to get,” she said, grinning.

“I could have. But Sammie sleeps on my bed at night. I’m not sure if you want that or not.”

She knew that. “I figured that might be part of it. I guess I’d be fine with it but not sure if Sammie would be.”

“Exactly. It’s a different house. She isn’t used to it and was running around. I didn’t want her getting into things, but she was worse than a toddler sniffing around. If she could put a paw in a socket she might have.”

“I don’t think she’d do that,” she said.

“Who knows? My point is, I’d like to spend the night with you, but we should try it at my place first.”

“I’d like to see your place. It’s funny it’s so close to mine and yet I’m seeing you’re parents’ house first.”

He snorted. “Guess that’s a shot against me.”

“No one is keeping score,” she said. “It was a statement is all.”

“We can stop at my place on our way back then.
