“I’m sorry. Can we talk about something else? I don’t like drudging up the past.” I look back to the TV as a silence falls over us.

I start to feel bad again and I know it’s time to take some meds. “When was the last time I took medicine?” I don’t think I even looked at the clock, I just took them when he handed them to me.

He presses his hand to my forehead, I can feel the heat radiating off me. I know that I have a fever again, or maybe still. It might not have fully gone away to begin with.

“I’ll go get you some ibuprofen and then you can nap while I install the rest of your security features. Since you’re sick, you can’t fight me on what I install.” He gives me a wicked smile as he places my feet back on the couch and gets up to get the medicine.

I roll my eyes at him, but he doesn’t see me. He would probably say I was being a brat again. He brings the medicine bottle and the Gatorade that was by the bed. He tosses out a few pills and hands them over.

“I’m going to get some work done while I’m here. Then I need to get back home to my dog,” he mentions nonchalantly like he didn’t just tell me that he stayed here all night when he needed to be at his home taking care of his dog. I nearly choke on my drink.

“Why the hell are you still here when you need to be somewhere else? I can take care of myself. You don’t have to stay.” I feel terrible.

“I stayed because you asked me to. It’s okay, I texted the boy that lives next to me and he went over and picked her up. Everything is fine.”

“Oh, God! I asked you to stay? I’m so sorry! Why didn’t you just tell me that you had to go?” I put my arm over my face trying to shield my embarrassment.

“You asked me to stay and said you were scared. I didn’t want to leave you. You were very sick when I got here yesterday. I would have stayed even if you didn’t ask me,” Travis says like it’s not a big deal. He’s done so much for me.

“Thank you, Travis. You didn’t have to do this for me. I really appreciate it.” He leans over kissing my forehead and then he goes to the door to get his equipment. He treats me like a queen, I can’t help but wonder if he likes me or ifhe is just being the nice guy he is. I ponder this as he tinkers about, until I eventually fall asleep.

I wake some time later and I know it’s been a while, the sun is setting in the sky. I look around but I can already tell he’s gone. The air feels electric when he is near and it’s just my normal apartment when I wake up. I deflate back into the couch feeling sorry for myself. I know he had things he had to get done elsewhere. I mean he can’t stay in my little bubble forever. As I look over to the coffee table for my Gatorade, I see a handwritten note sitting there. I hurriedly shed the blankets and grab up the note to read.

Sarah,

Your phone was dead, and I didn’t want there to be a chance that you didn’t get this message. I’m sorry I left before you woke but I didn’t want to disturb you. Your fever was down when I left but take some acetaminophen around two o clock. Everything is installed and connected to the tablet I left there. If you have any questions, don’t hesitate to call. Hope you get to feeling better soon.

Travis

P.S. Would you like to grab a bite to eat once you are well?

I squeal and reread the note. Maybe he does like me after all. I clutch the note to my chest. I feel like a schoolgirl tossing my legs up and down in the air. Maybe just maybe this is a date. I fall back onto the couch and smile up at the ceiling.

Chapter 7

Travis

I hated leaving Sarah there by herself, but at least I knew she was safe. There’s no one getting into that apartment. I just hope she gets well soon. I make a quick stop at Billy’s house to pick up my pup, they are outside playing when I pull in. As soon as I stop, Harley comes sprinting toward me, jumping right in the truck.

“Thanks for looking after her, Billy, especially on such short notice. There was someone I was helping,” I state.

He comes up to the truck. “Not a problem, Mr. James. I love having her over here.” He pets her goodbye and I hand him some cash. He used to always try and decline the offer until I told him I wanted him to have it. Now, he takes it and thanks me.

Once we’re home, I pour Harley some food and refresh her water bowl. She runs off to her bed and starts chewing on a toy, leaving me in her wake feeling like something is missing. I scratch my beard and realize that I miss Sarah. Even with just the little time we spent together, I got used to being around her. I look around my home and wonder what she would see. She would probably have a fit that I don’t have a Christmas tree up. I laugh to myself as I head up to my room to get a shower.

Throwing my clothes into the hamper, I jump into the shower. I love the feel of the hot water cascading down my back. Images of Sarah flash in my mind and my cock springs to attention.Her stunning green eyes looking up at me while she’s on her knees before me. She wraps her perfect rosy lips around my cock, taking me all the way back into her throat. Tears stream down her cheeks as I fuck her face faster and deeper. I grab a handful of her silky blonde hair as I continue to thrust into her mouth. She moans and the vibrations feel amazing along my shaft. She cups my balls with her hand and massages them as I pound away.I feel the tingle at the base of my spine and within seconds I’m coming jets and jets down the drain, wishing Sarah was here to swallow me down. I haven’t had this kind of reaction to a woman in a long time, and it’s never been this visceral.

I lean against the wall of the shower knowing I need to see her again. I hope she agrees to dinner with me because whether she likes it or not, Sarah’smine.

That realization hits me right in the chest. I run my hands through my wet hair as I step out of the shower. I know one thing for sure. I’m going to have to get that little vixen under control. She may not think she needs anyone, but Sarah will soon find out that she needs me.

I find that she texted me when I was in the shower.

Sarah:Thank you for caring for me, Travis, I would love to grab something to eat with you.

A devilish smile crosses my face as I read through the message. I have a date to plan.

Travis:How are you feeling?
