“Could you drive back?” I asked. “I hurt.”
Daniel stared at the keys I held out to him for a while before accepting them and climbed out of the passenger side. He held the door opened and allowed me to brace against his shoulder to push myself into the seat.
I winced when I added weight to my hip by sitting down.
Daniel drove us back to his place, me keeping an eye out for any suspicious vehicles. It had been a strange few days, and I kept expecting someone to pop out of a dark corner at us. Gritting my teeth, I eased my sore body from the truck, and we entered the house.
I immediately went for a shower and when I came back, Daniel had also showered and changed into a pair of grey trackpants and a black t-shirt.
From the doorway, I allowed my eyes to trail down his body to a perfect ass then up to his wide shoulders.
Though he was on the phone, I couldn’t seem to concentrate on the conversation.
“You’re staring.”
I blinked and stepped into the room to sit at the island.
“Not you, Angelo.” Daniel shook his head. “Yeah, we’ll talk tomorrow. I’m going to call my daughter now.”
He hung up, set the phone on the island and picked up a tablet. I leaned forward, resting my head on my arm and watching him intently until he lifted the tale and smiled.
“Hi beautiful girl.”
“Hi dad.” Kennedy’s voice was crisp and happy as it always his.
“How are you?”
“I’m good. Goddie taught me how to make cookies.”
“She did?” Daniel asked. “Will you bring me son?”
“Of course!” Kennedy replied. “Where’s Abi?”
Daniel shifted to turn the camera and I lifted my head and waved at the little girl.
She blew me a kiss and I smiled.
After his conversation, Daniel put aside his technology and we sat down to eat. Once we were finished, I needed to rub some of the ointment on my hip, but I was too sore to twist my body as needed. Daniel had me lay on the large sofa in the living room, climbed the stairs to get the rub and returned.
This time, he pulled down the right side of my pants and used his free hand to massage me.
“That feels good.” I admitted, my eyes closed as he rubbed the skin. “A little lower.”
When he did, I gasped and tried pulling away.
“Fuck.” I swore.
“It’s swollen here.” Daniel pointed. “Maybe we should get you to a doctor. You might need something a little stronger than this. I don’t know if an aspirin is going to do any good.”
“I don’t do doctors.”
“Kokou.” His voice was soft.
I gripped his arm and rolled over so I could look up into his eyes.
“That spot is swollen.” He leaned in close. “I’m worried that might be something a little more than a bump.”
“If it’s still swollen by tomorrow, I’ll let you take me in.” I promised. “But right now, I just want to lay here.”
