“No,” he says simply.
“So this is normal, is it?”
“I don’t know. All I know is I miss you, and you miss me… and aside from the fact that we’d rather be together, that’s great. At least we both feel the same.”
“I guess so.”
“Don’t question it, baby,” he says. “I’m not.”
“Okay. I won’t.”
“I can’t wait for Sunday night.”
“Neither can I.”
“What are you doing over the weekend?” he asks.
“Unpacking.”
He laughs. “Because I’m not providing you with an excuse not to?”
“Exactly.”
“In that case, I apologize.”
“I’d rather be with you,” I say.
“From what I’ve been able to gather, you’d rather do anything than unpack.”
“That’s not what I meant. I’d just rather be with you.” I hear him sigh.
“Thank you for saying that.”
“It’s the truth, Tanner.”
“We’ll be together soon, baby. I promise.”
I hope so.
I really hope so.
I put my hands on my hips and stare around the living room, feeling pleased with all my hard work. Yesterday morning, I went to the grocery store, and in the afternoon, I caught up with all my schoolwork. That meant I could devote the whole of today to the unpacking, and now it’s done, the place looks so tidy, I barely recognize it.
The shelves are full, the boxes are flattened and stored in the garage for now, and I’ve even had time to shower and change, which is good, because Tanner should be here soon.
He didn’t say exactly when he’d be coming over, but I doubt he’ll be too late, and I have to smile to myself, recalling our phone calls over the last couple of days, and our intermittent text messages, too.
It’s clear we’ve both been missing each other, that we both want the same things, and maybe even feel the same way, and…
The doorbell rings and I spin around, running to open it, although I quickly clasp my hand to my mouth, stifling a gasp.
I’d been expecting to see Tanner, but not like this…
He’s wearing pale blue jeans, a white t-shirt, and a tan-colored cowboy hat… and I’ve never seen anyone look so sexy in my life.
“I thought I’d prove that romance isn’t confined to novels,” he says, smiling down at me as I giggle, and I jump up into his open arms. He catches me, spinning me around and around, before he lowers me to the floor and walks me back into the house, kicking the door closed. His eyes are fixed on mine, and he pushes me up against the wall, our bodies fused.
He removes the hat, throwing it over his shoulder and his lips are on mine in an instant, his kiss so ferocious I can barely breathe. I writhe against him, his hands on my ass, pulling me close so I can feel his arousal pressing against me, and I cling to him, sighing and moaning. I need him. He makes me feel more than I ever believed possible, and I can’t hold back. Not now.
