Nine

BJ woke up early the next morning, still in Dare’s arms. Panic began to set in the longer she laid there. It’d been a long time since she spent the night in a man’s arms. Guilt set in over her panic. She slid from the bed careful not to wake him. This was a mistake. What would Dave say? She quietly grabbed her clothes from the dresser and ran into the bathroom. She’d jump in the shower then go down to the bakery.

After her shower she braided her hair before leaving the bathroom. She slowly opened the bathroom door, not wanting to wake Dare. Her shoes were still in the bedroom. She tiptoed into the room, and found her shoes by the foot of the bed.

“Running off this early?” Dare opened his eyes and looked straight at her.

“I wasn’t running off.” She stood with her shoes in hand. “It takes damn near three hours to make bagels, give or take depending on type. I need to get an early start if I want to be prepared for my customers.”

“This is about last night.” He sat up in the bed. “I know how it feels, with this being your first relationship since Dave. It’s okay to feel guilty.” He got up from the bed and gave her a hug. “Dave would want you to be happy. For now, I’m going to go and let you come to your own conclusions.”

“Thanks for being understanding.” She wrapped her arms around him. “I’ll call you later.”

He softly kissed her lips then gathered his clothes. She put on her shoes and walked down the stairs. Dare had been more understanding than she thought he would be. He’s been in her situation. He knew better than anyone how it feels to lose a lover. When she came down into the bakery, the first thing she did was start a pot of coffee. While Dare was getting ready, she fixed him up a breakfast bag. When her apartment door opened, she knew Dare was coming down. She poured him a cup of coffee and set it by the bag.

“At least you’re sending me off with sustenance.” He walked over to the coffee and bag. “Is this one mine?” He pointed to the coffee by the bag. BJ nodded as he picked it up and took a sip.

“I’m not sending you off. Really, I’m not.” She didn’t want him to think that she didn’t want to see him anymore because that’s the opposite of what she really wanted. She just had to come to terms with things first.

“I know, kitten.” He kissed her forehead. “Call me when you’re ready. Remember what I said. He would want you to be happy.”

She leaned against the counter and watched him leave the bakery. He was right, Dave would want her to be happy. She’s pretty sure if Dave was still alive, he could actually be friends with Dare. They had a lot in common. Dave had a fascination with wood carving but was never able to get the detailing down.
