"I want you to still be here in the morning," I begin. "I want us to be more than Saturdays. I want us to be... more."
"Okay."
I look up at him. "Okay? Just... okay?"
"Yeah. Just okay. I'll be here in the morning. I'll be around for more than Saturdays. I'll be around for more."
"Because you want more too?" I hate the desperation in my voice when I ask.
He leans forward and kisses my forehead. "Because I want more too. Go to sleep, Sophie."
I have so many more questions. I have so much more to say, even though just minutes ago I was afraid to say anything at all. But instead, I lay my head back against his chest, and let his heartbeat lull me to sleep. And hope that he really will be here in the morning.
I wake up alone. Utter disappointment fills me as I close my eyes in regret for everything I said last night. What a fucking dumb...
My eyes snap open when I hear Law's voice, thanking someone before I hear the door shut. I look to the left and see him wheeling in a cart, stilling when he looks at me.
"Sorry. I was trying not to wake you." He smiles.
"It's okay," I hurry to say. Then I can't help but add, "You're here."
"I told you I would be. I planned to wake you up by eating your pussy, but since you're up, I guess we'll both just eat breakfast."
"Oh, I can lay back down and fake like I'm sleeping."
He laughs. God, that beautiful sound, and motions for me to join him at the table he's pushing the food toward. Damn it. I should have kept my freaking eyes closed. Law got a whole spread of things to eat, clearly showing me the way you're supposed to order when you stay at a fancy ass hotel.
"The car will be here in an hour, if you want to get one more swim in," he tells me as we finish breakfast.
I tilt my head in realization. "Were you always planning to spend the night?"
"I was."
"Even before dinner?" He nods, and I continue, "Even before James?"
He scowls now. "Don't say his name again. And yes."
I finally just break down and ask, "What are we doing, Law? This is beyond what either of us expected when this began, but I don't know whatthisis."
He shrugs. "Neither do I. But I think we've both decided it's worth it to explore what this could be. Am I right?"
"Yes. I just..." I don't really know what else to say. He's given me an answer, one I definitely did not expect, yet I'm still just as confused.
"I know. I'm just too."
I chuckle and decide to just let it end there. Standing, I take off my robe.
"You're sure I can't get you to swim with me this time?"
"Like I said, I like the view."
I go into the pool again, enjoying the little bit of time I have left in this room that seems to have changed so much. When I figureI've been floating for long enough, I get out and find an outfit on the back of the chair for me.
"Where did that even come from, and how did you even know my size? For those clothes, and last night's dress and heels."
"I had clothes for us delivered last night before we got here," he says as he walks closer to me. "As for your size, know that I'm a very…" He kisses my shoulder. "Very observant person."
"Oh yeah, what else have you noticed?"
