That was the scariest part.
“Finn!” Max hollers.
Shaking the vision away, I look in Max’s direction to find him glaring at me.
“Yeah, sorry. I’m fucking exhausted,” I state, stretching my arms over my head to emphasize my point. It’s not a lie. I didn’t get much sleep before I woke up at four this morning gasping for breath. Needless to say, I wasn’t able to fall back asleep.
“Whatever, man. I asked if you needed help cleaning this up?”
“I got it. What are you two up to?”
“Lo wants to take me shopping,” he groans.
“You act like I’m going to girlify this place or something,” she laughs. “I said you needed to put pictures on the wall, not that you needed pink throw pillows. A little art will class up the place. Manly stuff, I promise.”
Rolling his eyes, Max wraps his arm over her shoulder and steers her toward the door. “Pray for me.”
His parting words make me laugh along with Willow. I can’t even be mad that I didn’t get any alone time with her or that the closest we stood only allowed me to smell her perfume but not touch her.
Though, I do want to remedy that situation.
With my phone still in my hand, I shoot her one more text message before cleaning up all the paint supplies and washing the roller and brushes in the utility sink in the laundry room.
ME: Your place. Ten o’clock. Be naked.
LT: Make it eight and you have a deal. I’ll cancel Taco Tuesday.
Sounds like my girl missed me as much as I missed her. I can’t wait for all this sneaking around to be over. I could join her for Taco Tuesday. Pull her into my arms and kiss her whenever I want. It’s all I can think about. Other than Max drowning me.
