Chapter Fifteen

Sandrine awoke to the sun shining in her window. Normally, she was up before dawn, but she had luxuriated in sleeping in and now lay there smiling.

Dinner the night before had been fantastic. She could hardly comprehend that she had actually had a second date with Laney. The thought reminded her of classic black-and-white movies where the main characters pine over one another and both of them struggle through most of the movie until they can finally fall into each other’s arms.

Her longing for Laney through the years of their business relationship had been like a yearning from afar. But now it seemed they had reached the falling-into-each-other’s-arms part.

She had begun to mentally sift through her compulsory errands for the day when her cell phone rang.

“Hello?”

“Good morning.” It was Laney. “How did you sleep?”

“Very well. And I hate to admit it, but I haven’t left my bed yet.”

“Ah, it’s a lazy Saturday morning, is it?”

“Very much so.” Sandrine couldn’t imagine a better voice to hear first thing.

“I called to ask a favor.”

“Sure, Laney, what is it?”

“Unlock your front door.”

“Unlock my…are you here?”

“Yes. I hope that’s okay.”

Sandrine jumped out of bed and headed for the door. “Well, that depends.”

“On what?”

She opened the front door and lowered the phone from her ear. “Whether you can stay for a while or not.” Laney, wearing a pair of beige shorts and a yellow T-shirt, looked incredible.

“A while,” Laney said as she hung up her phone and stepped in. When she glanced down at Sandrine’s boxer shorts and flimsy BHPD T-shirt, her eyelids fluttered slightly, which Sandrine hoped was a good thing.

Closing the door, she took Laney by the hand and led her to the kitchen. “Coffee?”

“Perfect.”

When two hot mugs of java rested in front of them at her kitchen table, Sandrine suddenly laughed.

“What’s so funny?”

“I just realized that I should be a lot more bashful about my appearance, but I feel very comfortable.”

“Don’t change on my account. I’m the one intruding on your morning. And besides, you look fantastic.”

“Not too butch in these boxers?”

“You couldn’t look butch if you tried.” Laney added quickly, “Well, not unless you wanted to look butch.”

“I don’t know how I look, but as long as you’re okay with it, I don’t care what it’s called.”

Laney kissed her. “Don’t change a thing. As a matter of fact, next time we go out to dinner, I’d like you to wear this outfit.”

They both laughed and Sandrine pulled her into a longer kiss, which tasted of newly roasted coffee. Laney moaned when Sandrine drew away.

“Bring your mug,” she said, and led Laney to her bedroom. She placed her mug on the nightstand and nodded for Laney to do the same. “Take your shoes off,” Sandrine instructed, crawling into bed.

Laney didn’t say anything. When she took off her shoes and straightened her T-shirt and shorts, she seemed almost self-conscious. She joined her in bed and Sandrine put her arm around her. They lay face up, not speaking for a few minutes. The
