CHAPTER
ONE
EMMI
Braxton was knocking on
the bathroom door and I was standing with a ring box
in my hand. Shit! On top of the fact that this was probably supposed to be a
surprise, he was going to think I was rifling through
his pockets. I ’m not like that. A little too curious
maybe, but I would never purposely invade his privacy.
The ring was gorgeous though…and I was tempted to try
it on.
Another
knock. “ Emmi , is everything
okay?”
“Um…yeah,
just a sec.” I shoved the
box back in the pocket I took it out of and kicked the jeans over against the
counter. It would just look like I kicked them out of
my way. He should have put them in the hamper anyways. This was really his
fault. I took a deep breath before I opened the door.
“Are you okay?” He was
giving me a weird look.
“Yeah, I’m fine, why?”
“Your face is all red
and you’re breathing like you just ran a marathon.”
“It was a vigorous
shower,” I told him with a grin, trying to distract
him from his questions.
He raised an eyebrow like he didn’t believe me, or he was thinking something
dirty, but he didn’t say anything else. He bent down and picked up his jeans. I could tell by the way he was holding them tight around the
box inside the pocket that he was trying to make sure the ring didn’t fall out.
“I didn’t mean to
interrupt,” he told me . “I was just going to tell you
that I have to go see Sam for a bit at the gym.”
“It’s okay,” I responded. “I was going to have breakfast with Zoe in a
while.”
He leaned in to kiss me and I was more than happy to kiss him back. I always loved his kisses, but I had all kinds of energy I
needed to get rid of and a passionate kiss was just the place. I kissed him hard, slipping my tongue into his mouth and
running my hands across his soft hair. Guilt for going through his things and
excitement about what I found may have fueled it a
bit.
When we came up for air
he said, “Damn! Maybe we should just go back to bed.” He had a sexy grin on his
face and as he rubbed his hard body against me , it was
hard to say no.
Smiling through my sexual frustration, I told him, “Zoe will be here in
about five minutes.”
He grimaced but then said, “I could probably
do it in less than five.”
Laughing, I said, “I doubt that first of all, second of all, if Zoe
walked in on us I would be completely mortified.”
“Oh please, Zoe’s a big
girl, I’m sure she’s seen it all before.”
I kissed him on the nose and said, “I love you, have a good day and I’ll see you
tonight.”
“Save it for me, okay?”
I laughed and said, “Save it? Where do you think I’m going to put it between now
and then?”
“I meant the energy, I
know you’re saving that other stuff for me,” he said, kissing me again. “I’ll see you later.”
I went into my room and finished getting dressed, leaving him the bathroom to
take his shower. Zoe was right on time and I made her
wait just a bit while I pulled my hair back into a ponytail and put on just a
little bit of makeup.
“Okay, good enough.
Let’s go, I’m hungry.”
“Where’s Braxton?” Zoe
asked.
“He’s in the shower,
wait until I tell you what I found in there a while ago.”
“What?” she asked,
instantly curious.
“I’ll tell you at
breakfast, I don’t want Braxton to overhear us.”
When we got in the car,
Zoe started it up and said, “Okay, tell me. Was it another girl’s phone number?
