“What? I’m being serious. It looks like you have some stellar stuff over there. If I wasn’t naked, I’d go get a closer look.”
“Don’t let me stop you. I won’t mind at all.”
She pinched my waist then settled back against my chest.
“I’ll check it out later. This bed is so comfy.” She rubbed her cheek against my chest. “Or maybe it’s just you.”
I kissed the top of her head, amazed at how natural this feels. After sex can be so awkward, especially the first time. But there’s none of that with Keera. Maybe it’s because we were friends for so long, or maybe it’s just because we’re meant to be together. I realize how ridiculous that last thought sounds after just a handful of dates, but my feelings for her started a long time before our relationship did.
“Do you have more?”
“More what?”
“Collectibles and books.”
“There might be a few dozen boxes in the attic.”
“A few dozen?”
My chin brushed against her hair as I nodded.
“But those are the things I used to play with all the time. They’re not as pretty.”
“I bet they’re more loved though.”
“They’re loved in a different way.”
“I’m guessing you have some pretty cool stuff.”
“I think so,” I said. “But not everyone does.”
“WellIdo. You know I’m a nerdy gothic girl at heart, right?”
“The fact that you call them collectibles instead of dolls tells me everything I need to know.”
“Who calls them dolls?”
“Shannon,” I said. “She calls me Andy.”
“Like in theThe 40-Year-Old Virgin?”
“Exactly.”
“That’s actually kind of funny.” She looked up at me. “No offense.”
I kissed the tip of her nose, then her lips.
“None taken.”
Before settling her head back against my chest, she glanced toward the nightstand and smiled.
“What was that smile for?”
“It’s only ten-thirty. I thought it was a lot later.” She rested her cheek against my chest. “I’m not ready to leave yet. It’s too snuggly in this bed.”
I rubbed my hand up and down her back then rested it on her hip.
“You don’t have to leave at all.”
