Had he been up for long?
“Text me later. I have to go”. He ended the call and placed his phone on the night stand.
“Hey”.
“Leah” …
“Yeah?”. I frowned.
“Are you naked under there?”.
Oh, I forgot about that.
A laugh fell from my lips. “Naked as the day I was born”. I winked.
He smirked. “Let me see”.
“It’ll cost you”. I joked.
“I’d pay top dollar to see that”. He winked.
Rolling my eyes, I sat up. My back resting against the headboard. “Is everything okay back home?”. I asked.
“Nothing for you to worry about. Do you want some coffee?”.
“Yes, please but I need to pee”.
He frowned. “Then go pee”.
“I’m naked under here”.
“I know”. He smirked placing his hands behind his head. “I’m here for it princess”.
“Jake”. I shoved his arm.
“Baby I’ve seen it all before”.
“I know but-…”. I paused.
I know I should have the confidence to be naked around him and I shouldn’t care but a little part of me was still embarrassed.
“Okay baby. Come find me when you’re ready”.
I didn’t have any more pyjamas with me so I wore the t-shirt he had on yesterday. I had to talk to him about what happened during the night. I had a feeling it had something to do with me going into heat.
That was something I still couldn’t wrap my head around.
He was making eggs.
“Coffee is poured and the eggs are almost ready. Do you-… damn”. He hissed. “I forgot how good you look in my clothes”.
“I know”. I smiled lifting the cup of coffee and sitting at the small table.
It sure was a beautiful day outside. The sun was shining, birds tweeting. I felt different. Obviously, it was down to last night. I didn’t have the concerns I had before. The weight had lifted from my shoulders.
Stupid to say but I felt like a new person but still me. Oh god that sounded ridiculous. Taking a sip of my coffee I could feel him staring.
Our eyes connected.
“I hope you know how much I love you”.
“I do”. I grinned. “And I love you more”.
He placed the plate of eggs in front of me before sitting down. It felt as though he wanted to say something else but I didn’t question it. Picking up my fork I got stuck right in. I was so hungry.
“Leah”.
“She doesn’t want any of that mom”. I heard him sigh.
Any of what?
“Mom, seriously. We don’t need a fucking party”.
Oh no.
They were making a big deal out of this. To be honest I didn’t expect anything less. We skipped the ceremony part. There was no way Charlotte wasn’t going to celebrate.
“A party huh?”. I joined him outside.
He was sat on one of the chairs glaring.
“They don’t fucking listen”. He snapped. “Always sticking their noses in our fucking business”.
Wow.
“Jake”.
He sighed. “I’m sorry baby. I know I should appreciate it but I don’t want to make a fuss, I don’t want you to feel overwhelmed”.
He knew me so well.
It was sweet but I could handle a party.
“My mom doesn’t know when to stop”.
“It’s just a party. We can handle a party”. I smiled.
