Chapter 5 - The Nightcap

So this was his place?

His house felt sleek and modern, but at the same time comfortable. Her temporary furnished apartment was a far cry from this place. Something inside of her felt uncomfortable, like she shouldn’t be there.

She convinced herself that the ill feelings were unwarranted. It wasn’t like she was going through with the desires she felt all day. Those desires had waned once reality and the talk of her husband rained on her parade. Something inside of her still longed for the more carnal side of Colby, but at the moment, his protective and nurturing side was keeping her company. He was finishing giving her the tour of his place.

“This is the guest bedroom.” He opened the door and showed her to her room for the night. “There’s also a bathroom, but you want to avoid using it. Better the main bathroom down the hall. I’ll grab you a towel.”

“Thanks.” Tanisha wondered what Amelia and her sister would make of this. She was spending the night at a man’s house, just not in his bed. A tinge of disappointment crawled inside of her. They’d surely accuse her of wasting an opportunity, but under the current circumstances it was impossible to remain in the mood. She just wanted to thank him and turn in for the night.

She wondered if Colby was equally as disappointed. When he invited her back to his place to talk, she jumped at the invitation. Sure, she wanted to talk, but more than anything, she didn’t want to be alone. The idea of her being alone in her place, with no car for escape gave her nightmares. To be isolated was one thing, isolated and stranded was too much to think about.

Colby returned. He looked at her questioningly. They’d once again come to a crossroads.

“It’s late, and I’m sure you’re tired.” He left her towels and promised that first thing in the morning he’d take her home and then to the garage so they could see what kind of progress had been made on the car. “We can also stop by my sister’s practice. Just meeting her could bring you some peace of mind.”

Tanisha wasn’t sure how to show her gratitude for such kindness. She wasn’t used to it, if she was honest. Should she kiss him? Hug him? Do something to show that she still strong despite him rescuing her like a damsel in distress? She decided on a genuine “thank you,” and a long hug.

Colby embraced her and she felt herself being lost in his grip. She could have held him or have been held by him all night, but Colby broke his embrace. He stared at her, making her think he was also up for a night of embracing. But she saw the nurturing Colby in front of her. The Colby that insisted she get some rest. He assured her that there was nothing to worry about, as he was just down the hall.

His gaze lingered as he left her standing at the door in the guest bedroom and made his way into his own room.
