It wasn’t too long before Lia knocked on the door and stepped inside.
“Are you okay, Drew?”
“Of course.” I smiled. “I can honestly say that I have never been better.”
After finishing up some work, I had Roland stop by my townhouse so I could pack a small overnight bag. I had every intention of spending the entire night with Jillian. On the way to her apartment, I stopped by the florist and picked her up a small bouquet of lilies. I desperately wanted to get her roses, but I thought that roses right now wouldn’t be appropriate.
Entering her apartment, I called out to her.
“I’m in the bathtub.”
A smile crossed my lips because seeing her naked body right when I walked through the door was what had been on my mind all day long. Walking into the bathroom, I leaned against the doorframe, holding the lilies in one hand and a bottle of Prosecco in the other.
“Hi.” Jillian smiled as she lay in a tub full of bubbles, her hair twisted up in a clip.
“Hi.” I held up the flowers and Prosecco.
“You shouldn’t have.”
“I wanted to.” I stared intently into her blue eyes.
“Thank you. There’s a vase in the cabinet in the living room.”
“I’ll be right back,” I spoke.
I placed the flowers in a vase of water and opened the Prosecco, pouring some into two wine glasses.
“Here you go,” I handed Jillian her glass and set mine down on the bathroom counter.
Kneeling on the floor in front of the tub, I took the loofah sponge and softly rubbed it across her shoulders.
“I forgot to ask you. Did you and Kristen find a wedding dress today?”
“Yes, and the lady at the bridal shop called a friend of hers, a seamstress, and she’s going to do the alterations.”
“Good. I’m happy it’s all working out for her.”
“Yeah. Me too.” She brought her hand up to her face and wiped her eye.
“What’s wrong?”
“Everything.” A tear fell down her cheek.
“Talk to me, Jillian.”
“God, I feel like such an idiot right now for crying in front of you like this.”
“Don’t feel that way. You’re not an idiot, and I think you’re beautiful when you cry.”
She let out a light laugh. “Thanks.”
I stood up, kicked off my shoes, and climbed into the tub with her.
“What are you doing?” She grinned.
“Comforting you the proper way.” I wrapped my arms around her and pulled her into me. “We’ll sit in here for as long as you need.”
