"That was…intense," he remarked, "Is everything okay?"
"Everything is," I replied. "Just the way they are now."
"I see," he said. "Well, I enjoyed it."
"Me too."
I didn't have time to worry about anything else right now. All I wanted was nothing to change between us.
If there was anything to worry about, why was my body acting differently.
Chapter eighteen
Plans
Ethan
After work, I dropped her off at home and we had dinner courtesy of Daniel. We stayed on the couch and watched a movie together. It was a movie about doctors, so we spent the night criticizing everything they got wrong or handled incorrectly, coming up with scenarios of how we would have handled things differently.
It was a new and fun experience. Stacy fell asleep, lying on my body, and I didn't bother to wake her up.
Both on our drive home and while we were watching the moving and having dinner, there was something on her mind. I prodded, but she insisted that it was nothing to worry about. As she slept and I stroked her hair, I felt grateful for a moment like this. I hardly slept in the mansion.
My staff had their own lives to live. After dinner, Daniel left; he wasn't always there. I worked overnight most times, so there was no need for him to stay longer than he ought to. But with just one more person in the house, it felt like the house was full. It was a wonderful feeling and one I didn't want to let go of. I was a little worried about what was bothering Stacy, but I knew better than to keep pestering her about it. It was Stacy we were talking about. Eventually, she'd tell me what was up.
The next day I woke up and found her still asleep on me.
"Stacy?" I called as I shook her a little.
"Hmm?" she responded lazily and curled up against me.
"We're going to be late," I said.
She lifted her body but her eyes were still closed. She kissed me lazily and returned to lie down. Cute, but not needed right now.
"Get up, you lazy bum," I said.
"I don't think I want to go out," she said. "I'm not feeling too good."
She finally got up from my body and stretched. Another of my dress shirts had been turned into her pajamas, and I was all for it.
"Can you give me today off?" she asked.
"You don't have to show up. Rest up for me," I demanded.
"Thank you, you're the best," she said. "I won't be having breakfast early either. I want to sleep some more."
It was odd. She had the drive to go to the hospital as long as saving lives was involved. It was weird to see this new side of her: a lazy Stacy.
I guess this is the moment when your girl gets comfortable enough to show off a side they don't normally show to anyone else. I was honored, to witness it.
She turned to look at me, her hands still in the air, and a smile warm as the sun on her face.
"Will you miss me?" she asked.
"I'll skip work today and stay with you," I said.
"No, I can't have that," she said. "Go to work and save lives that need you to."
