Chapter Twenty

Hunter

I wanted to tell Anna about Jane, I really did. And I knew I had the almost perfect opportunity to tell her when she found out about Jackie. But that’s just the thing. It was almost perfect. But definitely not how I wanted to have that conversation. It wasn’t supposed to start with that bastard Nathaniel telling her about Jackie, that’s for sure. And it definitely wasn’t supposed to start with her watching a video of me having sex.

I still couldn’t believe that she watched that thing. If I saw a tape of her and some guy, I think I’d blow my lid. I wasn’t entirely honest with Anna about how Nathaniel could have gotten the tape, either. When I said my security system was pretty good, I wasn’t lying. It was really good. If he had opened a window while I wasn’t home, I would have known about it. I had alarms rigged that would alert my cell phone if anything happened. But I’d never gotten alerts of any kind, ever. So how did he get the tape? Something fishy was going on, but I couldn’t figure out what it was. I definitely didn’t want Anna worrying about that, though.

For now, I wanted to do something to show her how much I cared. Of course, there was nothing I could do in a scant few hours to really do her justice, but I could do a little something. So in the morning, before Anna woke up, I crept out of bed and headed to the grocery store to get some things for breakfast.

By the time I got back, however, Anna was already up. She was still in her pajamas, and looked a little worried.

“Hey,” she said. “Where did you go?”

“Oh sorry,” I said, kissing her. “I was hoping to surprise you. I got stuff to make breakfast.”

“Really?” she said, smiling. “That’s so sweet! What are you making?”

“It’s a surprise,” I told her. “Now get out of the kitchen and leave me to the cooking.”

“All right,” she agreed. “You don’t have to ask me twice. If you need me, I’ll be in the shower.”

Anna gave me a peck on the cheek and sauntered up the stairs, shutting the bathroom door behind her. I started to unpack the groceries I’d gotten: coffee, flour, baking powder, salt, sugar, butter, eggs, milk, chocolate chips, maple syrup, strawberries, and whipped cream. It had been a long time since I’d made my specialty chocolate chip pancakes, and I was excited to have them again with Anna.

The first time I made them was back in high school. Her parents were out of town for the weekend, and we took advantage of the situation as any high school sweethearts would. Maybe she was just being nice, because Anna was always a sweetheart, but she seemed to really like them. I hoped she would again.

After mixing up the batter, I put some water on to boil and started to wash and cut the strawberries. That was a new variation on how I’d made them before that I thought Anna would like.
