He rubs his chin and gives me a little wink.
"What the hell are you winking at Emma for?" Nick presses.
Brian laughs. "You didn't protest when I said I would hit on your girl if you didn't wake up soon."
Nick walks past me and shoves his finger into Brian's chest. "Did you try to seduce Emma while I was in a coma?"
"Jesus, man. Chill the fuck out. It was a joke! I'm one of you god damn best friends. You know me. I might like women, but I know where to draw the line. You really think I would seduce your woman while you were in a coma?" he pipes.
When Nick doesn't answer immediately, Brian shakes his head. jumps off the bed and walks to the door. "If it turns out to be a boy, you better name him after me to make up for insulting me the way you did.”
Brian looks at me. "Slap some sense in that so-called friend of mine," and with that, he disappears.
My mouth hangs open while Nick stares at the door where his friend disappeared. It isn't until a knock followed by Nick's doctor walking in that we both snap back to reality.
"Good morning, Nick. It's good to see you walking around. Why don't we start so that if I'm content with the results, I will sign your release papers so you can go home?"
"That's the best thing I've heard today, Doc."
As soon ashe takes his first steps outside, he breathes in the fresh air. "This is so much better."
"Do you want me to get the car while you wait here?"
He cocks a brow. "No. I'm not an invalid, Angel. And as long as I don't have to run, I prefer to walk to the car.”
"Fine by me, Mister Brown."
He narrows his eyes while taking my hand in his. This action, him and me walking hand in hand, fills me with joy. Sitting behind the wheel, I twist my head.
"Where to? Your house? Mine? Somewhere else?"
"My house, if that is okay with you."
I smile. "Your house it is."
"How is Charlotte doing?"
"She's doing well.
"Is she playing with a friend?"
Nope. She's at your parents’ house." I giggle, seeing his wide-eyed stare. "Your mother called me last night asking me if Charlotte wanted to spend a day and a night at their place. When I asked Charlotte, her immediate reaction was yes. So I dropped her off at your parents' house this morning."
"So it's you and me?" he asks.
"Yes."
"Oh, the day is only getting better."he says in a husky tone. My brain has difficulty focusing on the road when he places a hand on my thigh. My nipples erect, and I pick up a dull ache in the pit of my abdomen. Shit, calm down; he's only touching my leg.
On our way to his house, we stop by mine for a few minutes. Nick stays in the car while I make a quick run through my closet and bathroom, getting everything I need for a little sleepover. I brush my teeth because the thought of kissing him after my throw up session earlier isn't appealing. When I return, he's on the phone.
"Yes, talk to you later."
I start the car as Nick hangs up. "Already back at business?" I ask.
He smirks. "Not exactly, but I had to make a call."
"You got released less than an hour ago, you—"
