Snug and warm. Those were the thoughts filling my head as I rolled over, taking the soft blanket with me. I felt refreshed like I hadn’t in eons. Something about cocoa just had all of my muscles relaxing and my eyes drooping.
It was nice of Rhone to cover me up and let me sleep, and most of me was wanting to stay snug and warm right there on the couch. That part of me didn’t include my bladder.
Throwing off the blanket, I threw my legs over the side of the couch to have them dangling and not touching the floor. Cracking my eyes open, it had become abundantly clear I was no longer on the couch. No wonder it was so comfortable. I was in a bed. His bed.
“I brought you here, afraid the sofa would hurt your back,” Rhone called from the doorway. “I just got off the phone with your gram. She called over here after Brent phoned her place to give you an update on the car and he, it seems, told her we were together.” The left corner of his mouth lifted in that way he reserved for only when he was causing mischief, at least back when I knew him last. Who knew what it meant anymore, but I wanted to.
There was something so familiar and comforting about being with him, in his space, eating food he provided and letting out my secret. It was also emotionally exhausting, which, added to my pregnancy exhaustion, led to the impromptu nap and me waking up in his bed.
“Is the car ready? How much was it? Skip that. Can I use the bathroom first?” I was talking a mile a minute as the urge to pee slammed into me when I stood up. Darn bladder. He nodded, and I went in the direction he pointed and took care of business and attempted to smooth my bedhead. I failed dramatically at the latter.
When I came out, he was standing just where he was when I left, this time with the phone in his hand. “Thanks. I’ll check in in the a.m. Thanks, Brent.”
“Was that about my car?” I stopped close enough to be near him, but not quite close enough to be creepery.
He nodded before taking my hand, leading me to his kitchen, and offering me a seat at the breakfast bar.
“So, are you going to answer my question?” I teased as he poured me a glass of orange juice.
“Technically, I did.”
Wiseass.
“What did Brent say?” I knew it was bad if he hadn’t offered the info from the get-go, but I needed to know how bad it was in order to brainstorm a way to make it less bad.
I took a long drink of my juice as I watched him figure out what he was going to say. That couldn’t be good news.
“He said he has to order a few parts, so he needs it for a week.”
A week. A week wasn’t good, but it was workable. I only had my doctor appointment, and I was pretty sure Grams could help me get there.
