Chapter 8
Tanya
It’s been about a week since Damien headed back to the city for work, but he’s kept in touch with me whenever he’s able to. I really don’t know what I was worried about. He was right. As long as we make an effort to keep in touch with one another, it won’t fall apart unless we want it to. Speaking of effort, I’m planning on surprising him at his apartment in New York tonight. Yes, that’s right, I’m actually taking the weekend off from the flower shop.
Seb and Ellie are heading to the city soon for a romantic dinner and Broadway show anyway, so they nicely offered me a ride to Damien’s place. I love my friends. They rock.
I’m at home just finishing packing my overnight bag when I receive a text message.
Damien : Hey angel. I miss you. How’s it going?
I grin. I miss you as well. Not much. Just busy working. I saw the game last night. Awesome job, baby.
Damien : Thanks. I’m hoping I can come and visit you in a week or so. Maybe you can take the time off so we can spend the entire time in bed. ??
Tanya : Sounds like a great idea. I’ll take a look at the schedules as soon as you let me know what day or days. Anyway, I better get back to work. Call you tonight, babe.
Damien : I look forward to it.
A few hours later, Seb pulls up his SUV to Damien’s apartment building. Then I promptly get out. “Thanks again for the lift, Seb, and the key. I really appreciate it.”
“Not a problem. Anything for Ellie’s best friend. See you Sunday evening?”
I nod. “See you guys’ Sunday evening, and thanks again.”
“Have a blast, Tanya. I expect you to fill me in with all the deets when we pick you up.” Says Ellie.
“Will do.” I say, then head to the front entrance of the building, using the spare key from Seb instead of pressing the buzzer for Damien’s apartment, then head inside.
Once I reach his floor, I speed dial his number on my phone.
“Hey angel, perfect timing. I’ve just settled down on the couch after grabbing a quick bite and shower. How was your day?”
I take a few more steps before I reach his door. “Good, busy as usual.” I then knock on his door.
“One sec, angel. Someone’s at my door.”
A few moments later, the door opens, revealing my sexy guy only wearing a pair of shorts, a towel around his neck, and his hair still damp from his shower wearing a surprised look of shock on his face.
“SURPRISE!”
He pulls me inside, then engulfs me into one of his amazing hugs. “Tanya, you’re actually here!” He exclaims, then presses his lips upon my own. It’s absolutely orgasmic.
Once he releases me from the kiss, he takes my bag, then leads me to the back of his apartment.
“Where are we going?” I ask with a giggle.
He grins back at me with a devilish look in his eyes. “My bedroom. I’m not letting you go till I have to leave for the stadium tomorrow.”
“I have to head back home Sunday evening. I could only take a couple days off from the shop. And you didn’t even ask how I got in the building?”
He stops, then cups my cheeks with his hands. “I’m just glad you’re here. What a wonderful surprise, and I’m guessing Seb gave you his emergency key. Now, I have something I want to show you in my bedroom that involves you, me, and no clothes.”
And that’s exactly what we do. Make LOVE! Three times! Then we pass out in one another’s arms, but not before I realize that my dream came true. I, Tanya, now have a book boyfriend who just happens to ride a motorcycle. Funny how things work out.
