What was that? Drew basically just undressed me, ate me up with his eyes, and then walked away like it was nothing? And he made me breakfast? Oh and if he thought I didn’t notice the big problem in his pants, he was wrong. But I don’t think he would even care. He certainly hadn’t tried hiding it before.

This man didn’t seem to care if I knew he was hard because of me. But he also hadn’t tried to make a move? Men were confusing. Admittedly, I had little experience with them, but they were confusing nonetheless. Before Charles, I’d only had two real boyfriends.

Not for lack of interest, or trying. But I’d just accidentally fallen into relationships that became long-term things. And I knew they weren’t right. I never felt that zing people talk about. But they were comfortable, and the men weren’t doing me wrong, so I felt bad breaking things off.

At least I’d learned my lesson with Charles. That man did me wrong and I had no problem saying as much. But shoot, I wasn’t supposed to be thinking about him. Okay, do-over.

I steadied myself and walked into the kitchen, which had miraculously turned into some sort of restaurant while I was out, because every breakfast food I could have ever wanted waited for me.

Drew stood at the counter, scooping scrambled eggs onto each of our plates. A tray of crispy bacon sat on the stove and next to it, a pile of pancakes so tall, it could have fed a football team. A bowl of orange smiles sat on the small table on the side of the room. And steaming hot coffee was already poured into a mug.

“I don’t know how you take it,” Drew said, looking over his shoulder. “Your coffee, I mean.”

I couldn’t respond, I just stared at him. Finally he turned, handing me a plate and waving at the stove.

“Help yourself.”

“I can’t believe you made all of this. I mean…you didn’t have to.”

“I know. But if you don’t want it, don’t feel obligated to eat it. You’re probably too nice to turn it down.”

“No, I want it.” I was practically salivating, but that caught me off-guard. I took the plate and began helping myself to the pancakes and bacon. “You think I’m too nice, don’t you?”

“Yes.”

I laughed. “Wow you didn’t even pause to consider,” I said, loading a third, no fourth, piece of bacon onto my plate and sitting down at the table.

Drew took his share and then joined me, shrugging before he spoke.

“I think everyone is too nice. But yeah, you especially.”

I laughed at that.

“It’s not my business and I don’t even know you. So take it with a grain of salt.”

“No, you’re right. I am too nice. And I usually like it that way.” I took a bite of bacon and swirled my spoon in my coffee, considering whether to even bring this up. What the heck. We were stuck here for the time being. Might as well get to know each other a bit.
