Chapter Fourteen

Luxuriating in peaceful contentment Lacy stretched languidly closer to the source of tranquility she craved. Dragging her eyes open from a deep and restful sleep, Lacy found herself draped over the writer. A slow satisfied smile crawled across her face before she dropped her heavy eyelids and edged even closer. Lacy let her body and mind lounge in the wonderful feeling of being in a place where she wanted to be for the rest of her life. Her mind drifted, basking in this welcoming thought. She inhaled long and slow, breathing deeply until suddenly an alarm bell screamed in her head at the realization of the position her body was in and that this wasn’t a dream.

She jerked up, pushed herself back practically rolling over her daughter who had taken up residence on her left side. This abrupt movement woke the remaining sleeping occupants.

Containing a surge of frantic confusion at being abruptly awoken, a startled Gage asked. “What? What is it?”

Regaining her composure, Lacy calmly announced. “Nothing. I…must have had a bad dream.” Yet, it was anything but a bad dream she grudgingly admitted. No, not a dream. It was real. I…. felt….I can’t think about this now. The previous fleeting feelings toward Gage had been effectively shoved back only to resurge, bombarding her senses into overload. Lacy stubbornly refused to pursue these intimate thoughts any further. It led down a path she’d never considered before. A road wrought with the unknown and on the surface grated against what she was brought up to believe. I’m married for God’s sake.

“Come on, kids.” Lacy pulled Derek from the bed and nudged Dani off the mattress. “We need to get dressed.” Trotting them out the door and down the hallway.

Before Gage could say a word, they were gone. Confused by the star’s actions, the writer stumbled out of bed herself. Mumbling, she asked. “Wonder what that was all about?”

Gage was fixing breakfast when Lacy and the kids emerged from the second bedroom. The kids settled themselves at the table, receiving a glass of milk from Gage. Returning to the frying bacon, Gage covertly watched Lacy collect the plates and silverware. It was apparent Lacy was edgy and avoiding Gage, slipping around her with downcast eyes.

“Excuse me.” Lacy shifted past Gage, averting her blue eyes.

Pulling the last piece of bacon from the pan, Gage sifted some flour in it, stirring till it turned golden brown then added some milk, creating a delicious gravy. “It’s about ready.” Turning abruptly to make the announcement, she nearly collided with Lacy who had retrieved some napkins.

After a few awkward passes around each other, Gage settled down to the table while Lacy filled her children’s plates. The silence was unsettling. The writer would briefly catch Lacy looking at her, only to see her turn away quickly.

Lacy felt the compelling yearnings about Gage begging to be considered overpower her already distraught emotions when a reprieve from her daughter broke the deafening silence. “What are we gonna do today?” Dani asked hopefully.
