Instead of disrupting his sleep I opted for the spare room but first I slipped into our room for fresh pyjamas. I tried my best to be quiet, but it was like he knew I was home.
He shot up from the bed almost giving me a heart attack.
“Hey”. I whispered.
“Is it six already?”. A yawn fell from his mouth as he fell back against the pillows.
“Not yet”. I chewed the inside of my cheek. “Rocco let me come home early”.
“Okay baby, are you getting in?”. He pulled the cover back on my side his hand patting the empty space.
“In a minute let me get changed”. I quickly pulled on pyjama pants and one of his t-shirt’s before getting in.
Instantly filled with warmth my body relaxed against his as he wrapped himself around me.
“Missed you tonight”. He whispered kissing the top of my head.
“I missed you too”. I could feel my eyes closing as my body relaxed deeper into the mattress.
I was out like a light within seconds.
I slept till noon and when I woke, I felt better than expected. Enjoy this chapter for free and stay updated with the latest version on J o b n i b . c o m. Don’t miss out, visit it now. Yawning I stretched out my arms before getting out of bed. I brushed my teeth found my slippers and made my way downstairs.
I could smell bacon and my stomach growl with hunger. Walking through the living room into the kitchen I smiled when I saw him at the cooker.
“Is that for me?”. I asked fixing myself some coffee.
“Did you sleep okay?”. He asked.
“I did”. I yawned. “But I’m starving”. I sat at the table as he placed the plate in front of me.
Bacon, waffles and eggs.
“How was it?”. He asked.
“Like you don’t already know”. I took a piece of bacon shoving it straight in my mouth. I loved how crispy he always made it.
“I don’t”. He grinned. “But I’m assuming it went well?”.
I didn’t believe that he hadn’t called Rocco first thing. I wonder if he knew about Alanna and her disappearing act.
“It did but I have a few things I want to talk to you about”. I took the glass of orange juice he was offering and watched as he sat opposite me.
“And what’s that?”. He asked.
“Does it say anything else?”. I asked.
“She asked if you could call her”. He gave me my phone back. “I could do it if you want?”.
“How did my relationship with my gran, the one person I thought I would have forever become so fucked up?”. I pushed my plate to the side suddenly not hungry anymore.
“I can’t answer that Leah”.
“Yeah”. I pushed back my chair and got to my feet. “Well, she’s going to. I’m going to shower and then call her”.
“So, we’re not going to the cabin?”.
His words stopped me in my tracks. I know how much he was looking forward to spending time together I was too, but I had to sort this now. Our trip would be wasted if I didn’t.
“Can I take you to dinner tonight instead?”.
“You take me to dinner?”. He smirked.
“Yes”. I grinned. “Just us because I still want to talk to you about some things”.
Hearing his laughter I took off upstairs to get dressed.
