“Everything?” I asked as I climbed the steps to her floor.
“Every single spot I can get my lips on,” she confirmed, and I hummed. “Then, only when I’m done and satisfied with my job, I will very kindly climb off you, tug at the hem of your shirt, and peel it right off you so I can start working on getting you—”
I knocked on the door.
I heard Taco’s excited bark.
And through the line, I heard Rosie suck in a breath.
I asked her, “At getting me what?”
“Naked,” she mumbled. She exhaled shakily. Emotion was clogging her voice when she added, “Lucas?”
“Rosie?”
“Your flight,” she answered, and I could hear everything in those two words: the surprise, the relief, the love, the joy. “You told me it was today. That you would get here tomorrow.”
“I did,” I confirmed. “And I didn’t lie. My flight was tomorrow. But I couldn’t wait, Rosie. So, I got myself an earlier one.”
“You did?”
“I did,preciosa.” I heard her soft steps. Quick. As desperate as I was for her. “I couldn’t wait a single second more to see you, Rosie. To kiss you, to wake up every morning beside you for the rest of my days. To cook for you and remind you to drink water when you’re too lost in your writing. To hear my name off your lips every time I’m inside you. I couldn’t wait a second more to start our new life together, Rosie. I’ve waited enough. I’ve waited a lifetime without me knowing. So why don’t you open this door and let me show you?”
