Andrew reached out and pulled me closer to him on the couch. “Trust me, I’m not in that much pain.”
I tried to pull away, but he didn’t release his hold. Looking up at him I asked, “But you are in pain?”
“A moose totaled my car. You’d never believe me if I said I wasn’t.”
“You’re right. Where does it hurt?” I asked.
He pointed to his forehead and I kissed it. Then he pointed to his chin and I kissed that, too.
“You know, I think I’m sorer than I first thought,” he said with a grin.
I bet.
He pointed to his neck and again, I kissed it. “I think you might have hurt your lips, too,” I said, as I leaned in and kissed him.
I arched against him and as my lips contacted his, it was as though something ignited. I was enjoying having a little control, but Andrew seemed to have something else in mind.
He pulled me onto his lap, and when his lips claimed mine, there was nothing slow or gentle in his kiss. His lips tugged on mine and his tongue teased me to open for him. Not that he needed to. I was more than willing.
There was a knock on the door and it startled us both. He slid me off him and asked, “Are you expecting anyone?”
“At this time of night, no.”
“Maybe you should go in your room and lock the door,” he said.
I looked at him and said, “This isn’t Boston. It could easily be a bear or something out there.”
He said, “A bear that knocks on the door?”
I laughed. “Why don’t I go and see what’s out there?”
“No. I’ll do it,” he said firmly.
Even as he walked to the door, I could tell he was still in pain. Maybe this interruption was a good thing. Things were moving too fast. This wasn’t like me at all. I didn’t do casual relationships, and what else could Andrew and I have? He was only going to be here for a few more days.
But damn, I bet they would be an amazing few days.
I shook that thought out of my mind as I saw Andrew start to open the door. “What are you doing? Don’t open it!” I shouted.
He turned and said, “It’s okay. It’s the police.” Andrew opened the door and Patrolman Simons walked in.
“Hope I’m not disturbing you, but since it was a quiet night, I figured I’d drop this off to you. Besides, someone keeps texting you, so I figure it might be important.” He handed the phone to Andrew and said, “Glad to see you’re up on your feet. But you should try to get some rest. Tomorrow you’re going to feel like shit.”
“Thank you. I will.”
The policeman left again and Andrew made his way back to the couch. The entire time he was looking at his phone. I guess I don’t have to worry about whether or not we will pick up where we left off.
I got up off the couch and said, “I think he was right. We should call it a night.”
Andrew nodded and said, “Good night, Anne. Sweet dreams.”
No kiss or anything. I rolled my eyes and half stomped to my bedroom. Sleep wasn’t what I needed right now.
I shut my door angrily. Stupid moose. You have no idea what you just ruined.
