his fingers.
“I am. What’s your plan today?”
“Kara called and invited me to have lunch.”
Stephanie turned to pour coffee for herself. She opened the frig to get out
the orange juice for Brian.
“That should be interesting. I got a call and
it went to voicemail. It was the doctor’s office saying that they had an
opening today and could see me.” Brian had already eaten half of his eggs and
bacon.
Stephanie took a sip of her coffee and smiled at
his returning appetite. “Are you going to go today or wait?”
“I’ll go today. It sounds like you and Kara are
hitting it off.” Brian finished his breakfast and got up to take his plate to
the sink.
“She was so nice and helpful when you were in
the hospital. Kara has become a good friend in such a short time.” Stephanie
thought of the no nonsense way Kara handled situations.
Brian walked around the bar and stood behind
Stephanie. He lifted her hair away from her neck and began trailing kisses
along her spine. “You are so sexy in the mornings.” Brian pulled away and took
a seat beside her so she could finish her breakfast.
“You’re not so bad yourself.” Stephanie
finished her eggs and drank that last of her coffee. “I need a shower. Do you
want to join me?”
“Baby, I could never turn down an invite like
that.” Brian took her dishes to the sink and followed her to his bedroom.
Chapter 18
Stephanie took an open trolley to
meet Kara at a local restaurant in Downtown. When she arrived, Kara was
already seated at an outdoor table. She smiled when she saw Stephanie coming
down the sidewalk.
“Hi. Glad you could make it.” Kara passed her
a menu to order from.
Stephanie opened the trifold card and laid it on
the table in front of her. “I’m glad I could too. Where are your kids? I
thought they would be here too?”
“I left them at the daycare center to get some
adult time.” Kara smiled and rubbed her belly. “This one is still easy to
take care of.”
“Your kids are sweet and well behaved but I know
you need a break every once and a while.” Stephanie glanced down at the list
of foods and decided on a crab mango salad.
They both placed their orders and handed the
waitress the menus.
“I hope I’m not being too forward by suggesting
this but Aaron and I thought this was a great idea.” Kara took a sip of her
water and looked carefully at Stephanie.
“You have my curiosity peaked. What’s your
idea?” Stephanie unfolded her napkin and placed it in her lap.
“Brian has been guy talking with Aaron
about you and we think that he is completely head over heels. He mentioned to
Aaron that you didn’t get your contract renewed for this year and I was
wondering how you felt about teaching here in Savannah?”
Stephanie swallowed her water the wrong way and
began coughing. “Wow. I didn’t see that coming.” She dabbed her napkin at
her mouth. “Well I certainly love it down here and I really enjoy spending
time with Brian but we’ve only known each other a little over a month.
Besides, I know how hard it is to get in a school when you’re from out of
state.”
“Well it just so happens that a friend of mine
is a principal at a school for children with disabilities and she needs a
teacher before school starts. I’ll be more that glad to give her your name.”
“I really enjoy working with students with
disabilities but
