apartment had happened within just a couple of days, but they had enough time to buy a bed and have it delivered when they moved in. Now he not only had a bed to sleep in, but a woman that he could share it with. A woman that he couldn’t imagine living without.
“So, we got the bed, but we didn’ t get any sheets,” Sana stated. Arrigo laughed. They were in such a hurry, they hadn’t thought of everything else they might need.
Even though it was Sunday, it was early enough in the day though that they could go b uy what they needed to get them through the next few days.
“I’m not very good at shopping,” Sana sighed. She arched a brow at him as if she wondered if he might possibl y enjoy it any more than she did.
“ Macy’s?” he asked. Arrigo guessed that they could at least go to a department store to find sheets and he knew that Macy’s was close.
“Sounds like a good place to start.” Sana agreed.
Once they were at their destination and found the bedding department, Arrigo realized that picking out sheets might be a bit more complicated than he could have every imagined. A sales associate quickly approached them and inquired as to what they were looking for.
“We just need sheets and a blanket I guess?” Arrigo said.
“Were you interested in a certain thread count?” the woman asked. As if he knew what that meant.
Sana didn’t help much when he saw that she looked as confused as he was.
Arrigo glanced at the sales woman’s nametag and decided he would take a slightly different approach.
“Susan, can you do us a favor and just pick us out the best sheets and whatever else we might need for a king size bed?” Arrigo could all but see the dollar signs flashing in her eyes. He realized then that he was about to spend a small fortune just on sheets. Not that money was an issue though. After thirteen years of active service in the Marines, Arrigo had saved most of his pay every year and had it invested in multiple high bearing accounts. He had managed to accumulate well over two million dollars.
As Susan walked them through the department, she handed Arrigo a set of sheets in pale blue, a large bag with a dark blue comforter set in it.
“Do you need new pillows?” she asked.
“We don’t have any, so yes.” Sana announced.
They walked on to the pillows and before they were done there, Susan had inquired about their purchases and within the next thirty minutes, they had selected towels, a small set of cookware, silverware, dinnerware and glasses.
Arrigo saw something that caught his attention across the store and since he had already paid, he decided to go take a quick peek. Lightly grasping Sana’s elbow, he softly spoke to her.
“Can you get everything down to the car? I need to get something and I’ll meet you there.” Arrigo waited for her reply.
“Um, sure.” Sana looked up at him and then back to the sales associate.
“I’ll help you and we’ll get one of the guys to carry the rest.” Susan, the associate smiled at them.
“Good.” Arrigo excused himself and walked toward the other side of the store.
He met Sana at the car just as the employees were loading the purchases they had made.
“Did you find what you needed?” Sana asked. Arrigo noticed she looked him over as if she were looking for another shopping bag.
“No. They didn’t have it.” Arrigo shrugged his shoulders and they left to get back to their apartment.
Luckily, they were off for the next few days. Since they were partners and they didn’t have a current project that required attention so they could enjoy the holiday together, even though it was a secret.
Arrigo knew that they couldn’t make their relationship public since the team might not understand and Williams might be just a tad pissed. No matter their secret, during the last few weeks, they hadn’t been apart for more than a few minutes here or there, but they also had made sure they were completely professional. Well, as
