“Looking forward to it.”

After saying our goodbyes, I manage to force myself into the shower, when in reality all I want to do is climb back into bed. This right here is exactly why I try to take at least one Sunday off a month. Sometimes you just need a day to unwind and sleep in until after lunch, though it rarely happens that way.

It takes me most of the afternoon to get ready because I meander around, straightening up some things around the house before answering a few emails I didn’t want to leave until Monday. Because even when I take a day off, I always end up doing at least one thing work related. Pitfall of owning my own agency–there’s no one to pawn it off on while I’m away.

I’ve just finished straightening my hair when my phone pings with an incoming text message. Snagging it off the vanity next to me, I quickly tap on the message.

Treyton:I can’t stop thinking about yesterday.

I type out a quick reply, excitement swirling in my stomach.

Me:Me either.

Treyton:What are you doing?

Me:Getting ready to meet my parents for dinner.

Treyton:Where?

Me:Charlie Pickens.

Treyton:What the hell is Charlie Pickens?

I laugh, typing out my response.

Me:Ha ha! It’s a chicken place.

Treyton:Wish I could come with you.

Me:Me too.

Though if I’m honest, I don’t. Because putting my parents and Treyton into the same room at the same time is not on the list of things I want to do anytime soon.

Treyton:Do you think your parents will like me?

Strange he should be asking that, given the thought that just crossed my mind.

Me:Of course they will.

My answer is honest, because I have no doubt thatwhenhe meets them, they will love him. I think you’d be hard pressed to find a single person Treyton couldn’t win over if he really wanted to.

Treyton:When can I meet them?

Shit. Okay then. I think over my response carefully.

My hands shake as I type.

Me:When do you want to meet them?

Treyton:As soon as possible.

Me:Really? Why?

Treyton:Because they made you.

Well, hell…

Swoon.
