You've Never Done This Before?

Derek

I rolled on my side and stared at my phone, which was flashing six o’clock while blaring the usual alarm tone at me. When I agreed to a bachelor party today, I hadn’t realized it’d be a whole-day affair. All I wanted was to stay in bed with Valentina. Leaving her to go play golf with my brothers felt wrong. Golf and drinks were all they’d been able to get me to agree to.

Valentina and I had made some progress the night of our big fight. And a lot more progress the nights after that. In the past three weeks, our time in Atlanta had been exactly what I’d hoped it would be. I got to reconnect with my family, and my family got to meet the love of my life. Valentina, in turn, was also opening up to them. After our first week, she’d even agreed to let Max come over and hang out for five nights.

That little boy was sunshine in a tiny body. Both my parents were beside themselves to have Max around. Mom spent a great deal of time cooking and baking with him. Of the five of us, only Zack liked spending time in the kitchen with her. So having Max as her little helper now felt like old times for her. When Max wasn’t with Mom or Valentina, he and I got to hang out and play baseball.

Valentina had been sad to see him go the following Tuesday morning, but she had to let him go back to school. Plus, the engagement party was this Saturday, and she didn’t want him to have to sit through that. At least that was what she’d said to me when we drove Max and Em to the airport. My guess was the mama bear in her wanted to vet all the guests before she let them meet Max. Baby steps.

Valentina was here with me. She loved me as much as I loved her, and I couldn’t wait to marry her next month. I shifted my weight to lie on my side, facing her. She hadn’t even bothered to get her nightclothes back on after our last round of sex. The sheets tangled around her legs, leaving the rest of her exposed. Her hair wrapped itself around her pillow in thick curls. I reached for it but stopped midway when she stirred in her sleep.

As if she could sense me staring, her nipples tightened. Jesus, I wanted her again. I glanced at my screen. We were out of time. Throwing my legs over the side of the bed, I got up and headed for the shower. Maybe one day it’d stop feeling as if I were leaving her all the time, as if she were leaving me.

The guys had agreed to let me work this morning. Bridget’s bullshit contracts had all been void, but my team still needed plenty of direction. If anything, they needed to see me and know I hadn’t bailed on them.
