Chapter 13

Monroe~

I was really starting to hate Wednesdays. Normally, I was an advocate for Wednesdays. I mean it was hump day, for crying out loud. Who couldn’t get behind that?

But after having Sayer in my bed for the past three nights, it really sucked that I wouldn’t be seeing him for three days. During the breaks between sex, eating, and showering, we had talked a lot about his life and mine. And it was during those conversations that I had learned he worked a three, three, four, three rotation, and it sucked if you ignored the part where the man saved people and animals from fires.

I also learned that he had two younger brothers, Gideon and Nathan, and that Gideon was partners with their father in an engineering firm and that Nathan was goddamn Nathan Hayes. I was a sports girl, and I loved my football, baseball, basketball, and hockey. And even though I was a Dodgers fan, Nathan Hayes was Nathan freakin’ Hayes. He was going to be in the Baseball Hall of Fame one day, no doubt about it.

He had also told me all about his parents, Robert and Louise Hayes, and his best friend and fellow firefighter, Kellen, whom I had already met the day of the inspection. And I had told him all about Ernest and Jillian Stewart and Karma and her family, and it had felt…good.

And even if I hadn’t been attracted to Sayer’s body, face, and personality, his no-nonsense view on life had really sealed the deal. Yesterday, he had made it clear that we were in a relationship and it was one that he planned on seeing to the end. My stomach had dipped with that fear of this being too good to be true, but when he had gone on to slay all my dragons, I had been shocked.

Sayer had made it perfectly clear that our four-year age difference didn’t matter to him, and that children weren’t a must for him. He’d be content with Leta, and he knew his brothers wanted families, providing him with all the nieces and nephews he’d ever need. Then he had mentioned Leta’s future children, and I had melted into a puddle at the man’s feet.

But not having Leta this Wednesday and losing Sayer to another work stretch weren’t the reasons I was hating this particular Wednesday.

Nope.

It was the white Audi pulling into my driveway right behind me, blocking me in should I want to make an escape, that was turning this innocent Wednesday into an awful Wednesday.

I turned off my ignition, took a deep breath, then opened my car door to get out. I left my purse and briefcase in the passenger seat just in case I needed to ball up my fists and smash Thomas in the face. I thought it’d be best if I were unrestricted as possible.

“What do you want, Thomas?” I asked rather rudely. I haven’t spoken to him since he’d accused me of spreading my legs for the neighborhood, and frankly, I wasn’t too keen on speaking to the jackass ever again.
