Bexley laughed some more and said, “You are so cute.”
“I miss you,” Alex repeated.
“I know, babe. I miss you, too.”
“How will we do this when it’s for a long time? It’s only been a day.”
“Alex, I can’t move to London. At least, not until my grandma…”
“I know,” Alex replied. “I won’t ask you to, either. We’ll make it work.”
“I hope I have years with her, but that means years I wouldn’t have with you all the time.”
“Sweetheart, what if we moved her in with us one day?”
“What?”
“When you’re ready to move in with me, we could move her here, too. I have a private plane and the best medical staff in the world. She could live with us here. It would be private. No one gets close to this place, and I have the garden out back. The other room overlooks it, actually. She’d have a view, and we could take her for walks. I’ll have a nursing staff for her, and a doctor will check in on her regularly.”
“Babe…” Bexley said, her eyes welling with tears.
“I mean it, Bexley. You’re already family to me. That makeshermy family. I want to take care of her.”
“It’s a big thing to ask of someone,” Bexley replied.
“You didn’t ask. I offered.”
“Just getting her to London would be a chore,” she reasoned.
“It would be an adventure,” Alex said. “Bex, I want all the adventures I can get with you. If you stick with me, even though I can be a bit of a mess, and you’re ready to move here one day, I want you to be able to do that without worrying about leaving her behind or not being able to be here with me. We can make this work. I will do anything I can to make this work.”
Bexley wiped her tears, knowing she needed to change the subject or she’d continue to cry for the rest of their call, and she didn’t want that.
“What are you wearing under that jersey?” she asked.
“Why? Are you interested in playing doctor?” Alex asked, wiggling her eyebrows.
“If only you knew how much I want to be touching you right now,” Bexley admitted.
“So, tell me,” Alex replied.
“Are we really talking about this?” Bexley asked, laughing.
“I’monlywearing this jersey and a pair of panties,” Alex shared. “They’re black.”
“Fuck, Alex,” Bexley uttered. “Can I see?”
Alex moved her phone while Bexley waited. Alex was lying on her side, so she lifted the silly hockey jersey to reveal a pair of black panties and her smooth bare legs.
“Oh, my God,” Bexley managed.
“What areyouwearing?” Alex asked, her free hand running up and down her own inner thigh.
“A T-shirt and…” Bexley faded out as she squeezed her thighs together. “Underwear.”
“What color are they?”
Bexley couldn’t remember. She had to lift the blanket to look down.
