“Hey.” I rush to stand up and gently grab her elbow, turning her to face me. “Thank you for spending the day with me. I really had a good time.”
“Me too.”
I close the space between us, pull her to my chest, and kiss her forehead. Looking down into her eyes, I lean in, placing a soft lingering kiss on her lips. When I pull away, I place my head against her forehead.
“You can either sleep in here, or in one of the guest rooms if that makes you more comfortable.”
“Are your parents ok with me staying over?”
“Yeah, it’s just like when we were kids.”
“Donnie, we’re not kids anymore.”
“I know. Besides, they knew you were coming over.”
She shakes her head in amusement.
“Good night, Donnie.”
“Good night, Shorty.”
She smiles and walks out of the room, leaving me alone and wishing she would come back.
Chapter 24- Sadie
“When are you getting your car back?” Tia asks as I put on my seatbelt.
My car was back at the shop for the second time. I’m thankful to have someone like Seb to take care of the maintenance that comes with it.
“Seb said it should be ready soon. They had to put on new tires, and there was a part they had to order in.”
I glance over to Tia. “Why, sick of hauling my ass around?” I smirk.
“Ha! No, I’d rather drive you around anyway, but D-boy fired my ass and took the job.” She pouts dramatically as she pulls onto the road.
“Oh, this is my jam.” Tia turns up the radio and sings along to “TQG” by Karol G and Shakira.
I’m shaking my head at her when my phone dings.
Donnie: Hey, I won’t be able to see you tonight.
Me: Is everything ok?
Donnie: Yeah, I forgot I made plans with a beautiful girl with a cute button nose.
What the…
Me: I don’t know how to respond to that.
Donnie: She likes to eat her hand.
Before I can respond, he sends me another text with a photo.
It’s a picture of him and Sophie with her hand in her mouth. God. What he does to my heart. I love him more each day.
Me: We’re about fifteen minutes out. Be home soon. Xo
I tuck my phone away with a big stupid grin on my face and listen to Tia sing out of tune. As we pull off the highway, bright headlights flash behind us.
