It’s 10:35 p.m., and after going out for dinner, I watched Netflix, and called my sister April before I googled Majorca all night. I’m now ready for bed. I brush my teeth and tie my long, dark hair in a braid, and then I walk into my bedroom. Nathan is lying on his side, reading his book. The room is dark, the only light from his bedside lamp.
“Is the book good?” I ask.
He turns the page, distracted. “Very.”
I turn my blankets down and smile as I watch him. “I can’t believe I got the job.” The email came in a few hours ago, and I’m still processing it.
“I told you that you would.”
“It’s so exciting, you know? Something new to learn, and they approved our vacation, so it’s all good.”
“It is.” He replies distracted.
I climb into bed. “Can we go shopping tomorrow for bikinis?” I could ask for anything when he’s reading and he will gladly agree, just to shut me up.
“If you want.” He turns another page.
I get into bed and turn my back to him. “Let’s get up early and go out for breakfast. Then it’s shopping all day.”
“Hmm,” he mutters, distracted. He grabs my hipbone and pulls me back so I’m snug up against his body. This is how I fall asleep the fastest.
“Did I say thank you?”
“A hundred times, now go to sleep.” He taps my hip in a silent shut up now signal.
I smile into the darkness. “Are you going to read all night?”
“Probably.”
“Night, Nathe.”
He taps my behind. “Night, babe.”
Nathan
“Then I want to go into that new place that opened in the mall,” Eliza says as she drags me down the street.
Why the hell did I agree to come shopping all day? What was I thinking? “Yeah, okay.” I sigh. “I need more coffee.”
“You’ve had two already.”
I look at her, deadpan. “I need more.”
She rolls her eyes, unimpressed, and drags me into a lingerie store. “Sit there.” She directs me to sit in a large velvet chair outside the changing rooms.
Thank fuck… a chair.
I slump into the seat and wait as she looks around. I take out my phone and scroll aimlessly through it. Eliza eventually picks up a few things before she walks into the changing room. “Won’t be a minute.”
I exhale heavily. This is the last place I want to be on a Saturday.
I stuff my phone back into my pocket, link my fingers together, and put my hands behind my head.
After a few minutes, she says, “I like this one.”
“Show me.”
She opens the curtain. I stare at her for a moment and then frown. She’s wearing a gold, skimpy bikini. Her hips are curved and her skin has a beautiful honey tone to it. Her breasts are full and voluptuous.
