CHAPTER FIVE

Sunlight streamed across her face, pulling Flower from a dreamless sleep. She vaguely remembered Bradley carrying her through the door of their hotel room and tucking her into bed before she fell back asleep. Now she looked around the room finding it empty. The cup of coffee and donuts waiting at the table were the only proof Bradley was still around somewhere. Flower wrapped the blanket around her shoulders, pulling it off the bed and across the room with her to the table. As soon as she bit into the gooey, custard-filled donut the door opened, revealing Bradley who was sweat covered from his morning run. He flashed a quick grin before pulling his nasty shirt over his head. “Did you sleep okay?” he asked, leaning over to kiss her on the cheek before snagging a donut out of the bag.

“I slept great, thanks. You know, I find it hilarious that you’ll torture yourself by going out to jog every morning, but then you’ll come back and eat half a dozen donuts.”

“I can hardly eat half a dozen donuts if I don’t go out and jog. I’d be big as a house within a week.”

Flower shrugged at that. “It hasn’t stopped me,” to add weight to her words she took another huge bite out of her own donut, puffing out her cheeks in an exaggerated motion while she chewed, making him laugh. The sound of his laughter always did something funny to her insides.

“Not all of us can have your good genes. Some of us actually have to work at it. You know as well as I do that I have a little fat kid living inside of me.”

For some reason his words made her want to laugh, and pissed her off a little at the same time. “I know no such thing. You’ve always been perfect to me.”

Bradley snorted but he let it drop. “Do you need the shower, or do you mind if I take it first?”

Flower pinched her nose. “By all means, you take it.”

He shook his head at her antics but dutifully took himself off to the shower, leaving her alone to enjoy her breakfast. Flower heard the shower come on, and a few minutes later a phone began to ring. She knew from the ringtone that it wasn’t hers, and she began searching the room until she found Bradley’s. She hesitated only a moment before answering it. “Bradley’s phone.”

There was a pregnant pause before a man’s voice asked, “Flower?”

“Yep,” she chirped cheerfully.

“Hey, this is Candy. Is Bradley around?”

“Mm-hmm, can you hold on for a minute?”

Flower debated over what she should do. She knew he was probably in there long enough to finish but she didn’t want to catch him mid-shower. In the end she decided she would stick her head in real quick and find out if this was a call he needed to take or not. She knocked lightly, but when no response came, she opened the door peeking in, relieved to find the shower curtain still closed and blocking him from her view.
