“Thanks for this. After last night, I need it.”
“Me too.” I laughed.
His eyes raked over me as he brought the cup to his lips.
“What?” I asked.
“You look sexy as hell in my T-shirt. But I would have preferred you made the coffee naked.” A smirk crossed his lips.
“Of course you would have.” I smiled. “I’m going to head back to my place.”
“Already?” he asked.
“You have to leave in twenty minutes, and I’m going home to shower. Call me later?”
“You bet.” He kissed me.
As I was leaving the bathroom, he called my name.
“Claire?”
“Yeah?” I turned and faced him.
“Thank you for staying the night.”
I stared into his sexy eyes as a soft smile crossed my lips.
Picking up my dress, panties, and shoes from the floor, I grabbed my purse and went to my apartment. I had an hour and a half before I had to be at Shaun’s house, which gave me enough time to get ready. I couldn’t stop thinking about Nick. I was falling for him, and that’s the last thing I wanted to do. Everything was happening all at once and too fast. Nick, my family. Now I had the house to deal with. Not to mention that I needed to find a job.
I grabbed my birth certificate and stuck it in my purse before heading out the door. When I arrived at Shaun’s house, I lightly knocked, and Jenni opened the door, holding a child.
“Good morning, sis. Come on in.” She grinned.
“Good morning. And who is this beautiful girl?”
“This is your niece, Stella. Stella, say hi to Auntie Claire.”
“Hi there, Stella.” I smiled.
Shaun walked down the stairs, holding another child.
“You have twins?” I asked.
“We do.” Jenni grinned. “This is Sawyer.”
“Morning,” Shaun spoke. “Coffee?” he asked.
“Yeah, but only if you have some Baileys.” I smirked.
“I do.” He chuckled.
Jenni set the twins on the floor amongst their toys, and we sat at the table. Shaun poured some Baileys into each of our coffees and set the cup down in front of me.
“Here’s my original birth certificate.” I pulled it from my purse and slid it across the table.
Shaun picked it up and looked at it.
“You were born in Paris?”
