that
played at Drink Nights back in Port Jervis. I’m glad you’ve got talent up
here.” He chuckled. “This place kind of reminds me of the old hang out a little.
I think I like it here.”
“Well that’s good.” Zoey smiled and snuggled closer to his embrace.
“Speaking of all things good...” Heidi
gave Rafe a knowing glance and cleared her throat as
he motioned for her to continue. “ Rafe , Nathan, and I
got to talking and we like having you around. What would you say to making it a little more permanent?”
“I’d say it sounds wonderful.
What do you have in mind?”
“Well—”
“Move in with me.” Rafe blurted out removing his arm from around her shoulder
so he could turn in his seat to face her. He gripped her hands between his and
looked slightly nervous this time. It was awesome, and she couldn’t help but
smile seeing the usually confident man fumble through his words. “We’d like you
to move in with us. Heidi and Nathan have redecorated the upstairs to be big
enough for the four of us, and when we want our privacy we’ve got the spare
room we christened on our very first night together. You can decorate it however
you like. What do you say?”
“Yes, I say yes.” She snuggled
closer yet again and wrapped her arms around him. “How can a girl refuse? I
could seriously get used to this.” She looked up to meet his gaze and smiled
wide. “I love being with you, in your arms, and when we make love. You’re in my
head too, Rafe , and I don’t want this to go away.”
He leaned down to kiss her
looking touched by her words, and only able to express himself that way for the time being. He almost looked choked up when he whispered,
“You’re everything I could have ever dreamed of in a woman. We have an ancient
word in Greek called Zoi like your name but spelled differently, it means life, and I want you to know
you’re an important part of mine.”
“Oh, Rafe , thank you because I feel the same way.” It was Zoey who became choked up with happiness now.
“Well, Rafe ,
it looks like you followed in my footsteps after all. We’ve both found our
something spicy, and I wouldn’t change a thing.” Nathan announced proudly
looking down at Heidi with so much love. “It looks like your match making
worked perfectly, Heidi.”
“Well said, Nathan, and thank you,
Heidi. I couldn’t have asked for anything better.”
“To all things
spicy.” Heidi
cheered, holding her beer bottle high, while Zoey and
the others joined in.
And in the end, the trio became a
quartet.
