Chapter Sixteen

Andrea's eyes slowly fluttered open, but they felt like some weight was on them, forcing them back down, but as soon as they shut, the blaring sound of her alarm forced them back up, reminding her why she'd chosen to wake up in the first place. She rolled over unto her belly and stretched her arm across to reach the source of her annoyance. She tapped the device until it ceased to make a sound.

After a few minutes of contemplating whether or not she should get up or snuggle down in her warm, cozy bed, she released an exaggerated sigh before propping herself up on her elbows until she was sitting in the middle of the bed. Today was her day to make mom's breakfast before heading to the inn to help out. After another release of breath, she scooted to the edge of the bed and swung her legs over and stood up and headed for the bathroom.

Andrea sighed with relief as the warm water splashed over her cold, achy muscles. "Thank God for hot water," she thought. Ten minutes later, she was drawing on a pair of blue jeans and a white T-shirt with the Statue of Liberty in the front and the Empire State building on the back.

Just as she slipped on her sandals, her cell phone rang. She reached down to pick it up. A giddy smile swept across her face at the name displayed.

"Hey, you," she greeted, sitting down on the bed.

"Hi. How'd you sleep?"

"I didn't get much sleep," she revealed.

"Why not? Are you okay? Do you want me to get anything for you?"

"I'm fine," she giggled. A hand reached up to cover her lips, mortified by how childish it sounded. "I'm sorry about that," she apologized.

"Why? I like it. It's cute. You can giggle anytime for me."

Andrea felt her cheeks flush as the butterflies in her stomach did summersaults. "Anyway, I didn't get much sleep because I stayed up talking with Rory. We had a blowout yesterday, but we're good now."

"I'm sorry to hear that, but I'm glad you're both okay now…Trey mentioned that he saw her down at the boardwalk. "

"Oh really? So that's where she went," Andrea replied more to herself than Donny.

"Don’t quote me on it, but I think he really likes your daughter. I've never heard him talk about anyone with such admiration the way he talks about Rory."

"Wow, that’s…that's…I mean. It's going far better than I initially expected," Andrea confessed, feeling in awe.

"The kids are all right," Donny chuckled.

"Are you quoting from that 70s show?" Andrea quirked her brow even though he couldn't see her.

"I am," he confirmed.

Andrea released a soft chuckle.

"I can't wait to see you later."

Andrea shivered slightly at the deep drop in his voice.

"I can't wait to see you too," she all but whispered shyly as a coy smile turned her lips slightly upward.

After a few more minutes of them ironing out the details for their date, Andrea hung up from Donny and headed downstairs to prep Becky's meal.
