Chapter Twenty-Two
Oliver
Islip out from under the covers and throw away the tissue I wrapped the condom in before we fell asleep. The morning sun filters into her bathroom window, and I decide to run to Joe’s for coffee and Danish for breakfast. Ally is still curled up in a ball like a kitten, wrapped in the covers and snuggled up next to my pillow as I get my clothes on.
I quickly shut and lock the door on my way out then jog down the steps. Katelyn sees me walk in and waves me over to the side to avoid the long line.
“Need anything else, O?” she asks, handing me our coffees.
“Could I get some cheese Danish?”
“Sure thing.” She quickly grabs a bag and the Danish and whisks them back to me. After I pay, she’s off to the next customer.
I let myself back in with Ally’s key and set everything down on the kitchen counter.
“Oliver?” I hear Ally call.
“It’s me, sweetheart. I ran and got us coffees,” I reply, walking back into her bedroom.
“I thought I told you I don’t need to eat,” she says while removing her covers and showing me a heavenly sight.
I quickly strip off my clothes and pounce on top of her.
With a giggle from her, I reach for the condoms and begin round two.
We wake again around lunch time and my stomach is growling.
“Ally, I’m going to need some fuel to keep up with you. Are you okay with us getting some lunch delivered?”
“Yes, I’m hungry too. What did you say you got this morning?”
“Cheese Danish and coffee.”
“Hmm, that sounds good. Let’s have that while we wait for our lunch.”
“You got it. What do you want for lunch?”
“Burgers?” she suggests.
My stomach growls in agreement. “Sounds perfect. I’ll call it in while the coffee heats up. You just stay there.” She hums and reclines back in the bed while I pull on my shorts.
“I could get used to this. Feel free to spoil me anytime,” she admits.
After heating up the coffee, I take everything into her bedroom.
“Here you go, coffee and a Danish. Burgers should be here in forty minutes.”
“Forty?” She perks up her brows with a suggestive look.
“You’re insatiable.”
“It’s been a while.”
“Oh, so is this all I’m good for? Scratching an itch?” I pout.
“Absolutely not!” She leans in to give me a kiss. “Honestly, I have never felt this way about someone so soon. I told you it’s hard for me to trust, but there is just something about you that makes me confident you won’t try to control me or break my heart. Which means I’ve been more forward with you than anyone I’ve ever been with.”
“Thank you for telling me how you feel. I won’t break your heart if you don’t break mine.”
“Deal!” she seals it with another kiss. “Wanna watch a show while we wait for our food? There’s a cute sitcom I’ve been binge-watching.”
“Sounds good, but you have to promise you’ll watch some of my favorite mysteries with me. You owe me for Legally Blonde.”
“What? You totally enjoyed it.”
“I admit it wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be.”
“See, there you go. But you’ll like this sitcom. It’s about these guys who all work in an office together, so no sororities or fashionistas.”
“That could work. You going to put some clothes on?”
“Nah, I’m fine wrapped in the sheet. Makes for easy access.”
“I can’t argue with that.” I laugh and swat her butt as we walk out of her room to the living room. I break down the massage table and move it out of the way so we can watch the show. Ally lays her head in the crook of my shoulder and turns on the TV.
We finish a second episode while we eat lunch and then stay in bed for the rest of the weekend, minus a few water and snack breaks.
