CHAPTER 8

SARAH

I wake groggy and in a panic. Reaching for my phone I hastily scan to see that the time is only nine, and the tension in my body slowly begins to relax. I want to get to the hospital early today, but I’m in no shape to rush this morning, so I make a quick call to the nurse's station to check on Ashley. After her nurse reassures me that she had a peaceful rest of the night, I feel much better. I text Ashley letting her know I’ll be there soon, and then fall back onto my pillow with a sigh. Thoughts of last night with Brad come rushing back. His sexy, masculine scent is still on my sheets, and his handsome face etched into my mind. The warm kisses, his hot-as-fuck body all over mine and the way he made love to me, engraved into my thoughts. It was only supposed to be one night so why can’t I erase his kiss from my lips, his touch from my body?

I take a much needed, long, hot shower and make my way to the Bean, in need of a shoulder to cry on and the pressing desire for caffeine. When I arrive at the shop, Harper is behind the counter assisting a customer with her usual friendly attitude. I make myself a latte with a double shot of espresso and grab some treats to take up to Ashley. “Hey girl, you hanging in there? You look like shit today.” “Um, thanks.” I deadpan. “I didn’t get much sleep last night, and I couldn’t even muster the strength to put make-up on today.” “Pfft, you don’t need make-up honey. I just meant you look tired. How’s Ashley doing?” “I called this morning, and she’s much better, but I hope they figure something out soon. Thank you for opening the shop, buy the way. I’m sorry to put so much on your plate right now.” “Nonsense, that’s what friends and business partners are for.” A tall, lanky gentleman strolls in for coffee and a bagel, so I give Harper a hand making the coffee and ring him up. “Have a great day,” I tell the man, striving to muster up a smile, but failing miserably. “So did Brad get tested yet?” Harper asks after the customer leaves. “Yes, he was with me last night when the hospital called, and I was in a panic, so he drove me there.” I feel Harper's eyes on me as my cheeks heat. “He was with you last night?” She questions with raised brows. “We had dinner together.” “Aaand?” She sing-songs, waiting for a response with her arms folded. “Sarah Thorensen, you little hussy, you slept with him?" She says, more as a statement than a question, as I nervously bite my cuticles. “Yes, but we didn’t sleep much.” I give her sly smirk. “Okay, I need more info missy.” I grin at her. “I’m not giving you details Harper.” She scowls at me. “My vagina is currently full of cobwebs.
