luggage and lightly tosses it
on the chair near the window before looking at me. “I’m gonna grab a shower,
wanna join me?”
I shake my head and smile. “I’m good,
Lang called earlier so I need to call her back.”
The way Ryan looks at me, I know he’s
trying to figure out how he’s going to respond. “Alright then, I won’t be
long.” He takes his shirt off and throws it at me and grins. “Tell her I said hi.”
Once the water starts, I pull my phone
from my purse to call Langley and of course she answers on the first ring. “Hey,
sis. Nice of you to finally call me back.”
“Did you forget that I’m in San Diego
with Ryan for the weekend?”
“Nope. That’s why I called. I knew you
were probably moping and whining and being an overall bitch, so I wanted to
snap you out of it. Was I right?”
I am quiet for a moment before answering.
I could lie, but my sister knows me better than anyone. “Yeah, you’re right,” I
respond begrudgingly.
“Right. So then, what are you gonna do
about it?”
“There’s nothing I can do, Lang. He’s
moving out here. He already signed the lease for his new place and-”
“That’s not what I mean, I know he’s
moving. What I’m asking is, are you going to let this ruin your weekend and
your time with Ryan? Speaking of, where is he, anyway?”
“He’s taking a shower,” I acknowledge,
hearing the shower still running.
“And you’re on the phone with me, why?” I
know what she’s getting at, but I try to ignore it.
“I had to call you back,” I start to
remind her, but she doesn’t let me finish my explanation.
“Go. Now. Be with Ryan. And, Em,” I can
tell I’m about to get a warning from my big sister and I smile when she doesn’t
wait for me to answer. “Stop sulking, it ages you, and you don’t want me to
look like the younger sister.”
“Yeah, yeah.” I smile a genuine smile. “I
gotta go. Love you.”
“Love you, too,” she answers and just
like that, we’re disconnected.
Our conversation was only a few minutes,
and I can still hear Ryan in the shower, so I get up and head over to join him.
Opening the door reveals my handsome fiancé. He’s standing in the bathroom in
his boxer with that killer grin on his face. “Damn, girl! It took you long
enough.”
“How did you know I was coming in here?”
I ask, puzzled. I want to snap at him for letting the water run, but this is
about me and him, not another argument.
He looks at me and shrugs his shoulders.
“I didn’t. Just hoped.”
It takes only a second to realize that
he’s as unsure of all of this as I am. He doesn’t know how things are going to
turn out, but he’s trying to make the best of it, and I need to meet him
halfway. So I do.
I start to remove my jeans and I feel his
eyes gaze upon me while I make a show of doing it slow and exaggerated. I
shimmy out of them, leaving my panties on before I start to remove my blouse.
He looks like he’s trying to remain composed, standing only a short distance
away. “I can help you with that,” he offers with a sexy, controlled tone.
When I look up, Ryan is leaning against
the counter with his arms crossed over his chest. I walk toward him and smile.
“I think I could use some help with the shirt.”
He brushes his knuckles along the side my
face and tucks my hair behind my ear before kissing me. He trails his kisses
from my jaw to my ear and then whispers, “I have something planned. You up for
it?”
“What do you have in mind?” I ask, in a voice
that sounds too needy to be mine. But Ryan, kissing me and holding me, is
exactly what I want.
“Right now? All I want is this,” he says
before his lips land on mine once again. It has to be one of the most
passionate and sexy kisses I have ever been on the receiving end of and it’s
easy for me to get lost in.
I don’t care that my shirt hasn’t been
completely removed, or that my bra and panties are about to get drenched. All I
know is that as Ryan backs
on the chair near the window before looking at me. “I’m gonna grab a shower,
wanna join me?”
I shake my head and smile. “I’m good,
Lang called earlier so I need to call her back.”
