He asked if I had talked to Kyzer lately, but the truth was I hadn’t and told him as much. He seemed relieved even though I couldn’t see his face, I could still read Taz.
Taz told me he missed me before we hung up which caused my butterflies to surge, and that he would call me when he could. I told him I missed him as well. I could feel his smile over the phone.
God, I hope I’m not falling in love.
The following day was my appointment with the doctor. Donna agreed to come by at 4:00 p.m. because my appointment was at 4:30 p.m.
Everything went well at the doctor’s visit. He gave me a starter packet of pills that I was to start immediately, and then a prescription with refills. He instructed me to use alternate protection for the first two weeks after starting them.
Once I got home, Donna told me she could stick around longer if I needed some study time. Bryce had napped longer than usual this afternoon, and was still going strong.
I took her up on the offer, going upstairs to shower and study for a while. The online classes were definitely more challenging than taking them on-campus with the luxury of real, live teachers.
I picked up my phone and called Kyzer. My call went straight to voice-mail. It was strange I hadn’t heard from him for several days. Perhaps he was cultivating a new relationship; couldn’t blame the guy for that.
I ended up studying for two hours before realizing that Donna had stayed way over. I went downstairs and she was watching television in the family room.
“Donna, I’m so sorry,” I apologized. “I didn’t realize how late it had gotten.”
“Lindsey, it’s not a problem. You need more time for yourself with school and all. I really don’t mind, okay?”
“Thanks,” I said, smiling. “So, I take it Bryce is down for the night?”
“Yep,” she said, getting her jacket on, “and your mom has had her medication and is sleeping as well. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Thanks, again,” I said, closing the door after her and locking it.
I felt lonely. There was no one to talk to, I missed Taz. I went upstairs and pulled my tee shirt off, pulling Taz’s ‘FBI’ hoodie on. It still smelled like him. That offered some comfort.
I climbed into bed and relaxed finally drifting off to sleep.
The following morning I awoke before Bryce and peeked in on Mom. She was awake and her iPad was perched on her stomach. I presumed she was reading one of her downloaded books.
“Morning,” I said, going into her room. She looked up, a bright smile lighting up her face.
“That must be a good book,” I replied, nodding towards her iPad.
“Oh, I wasn’t reading my book,” she said. “I was checking my emails. Slate will be home today.”
Really?
“Oh, yeah? He emails you when he’s on assignment?”
“Only when it’s finished and he can.”
Perhaps I had an email waiting for me.
I went into the kitchen and grabbed my cell phone, logging on to see if I had any emails come in on my Yahoo account. There was nothing at all from Taz.
I made some breakfast for Mom, taking it in on the bed tray she used.
“So, what time are you expecting him in?” I asked her, fluffing a pillow.
She took a sip of her orange juice.
“He said he’d be in Quantico by noon, then home by mid-afternoon. He needs to discuss a key or something with me.”
The key from Robespierre?
