Chapter 11

While Xander was gone, she took a shower. She had no clean panties so she went through his drawers until she found a pair of shorts that seemed as though they would be too small for him. They had a drawstring so she could at least tighten the waist. She showered and then wrapped herself in a towel just as Xander was coming back into the apartment.

“Sweetheart, where are you?”

“I’m in the bathroom. I decided to take a shower,”

“Wow, if you could always greet me this way that would be fantastic.”

She went to the counter and looked in the backpack he had just placed on the counter. He had gotten eggs, milk, cheese, some fruit salad, bagels, and donuts.

“Donuts? Really?”

“You might not like them, but I do. Now, could you please put something on before I take you back to bed.”

“I have no clean clothes here, so I was going to wear a pair of shorts I found in your drawer. Is that okay?”

“Just shorts? I have no problem with you parading around topless if that’s what you’re driving at.”

“I plan on borrowing a shirt, too, wise guy.”

She returned to his bedroom to dress and didn’t bother closing the door, partly hoping he would take her back to bed. She put on the shorts, pulling the drawstring tight. The legs ballooned out and went practically to her knees. The t-shirt was a plain white one, and she was sure her breasts were visible through it or at the very least, her nipples. But it would have to do.

Xander was in the kitchen mixing a bowl full of eggs. He looked up when she came in and didn’t know if he should thank the gods or laugh. The t-shirt she wore was revealing. Her lush breasts pressed against the fabric and revealed her nipples. But the shorts were another story. What would have hung to his mid thigh hung to her knees. The outfit was a bit comical, but he chose to concentrate on the beautiful upper part of her body. He had a hard time paying attention to what he was doing because of it. Ava noticed and put her hand out for the whisk.

“Why don’t you take a shower. I’ll make you eggs.”

“Are you sure? It’s not a problem. I can take a shower after breakfast.”

“Go, you’re all sweaty.”

He kissed her and stripped his clothing off as he went into the bathroom. The last look she got of him was his taut ass. She added a bit of milk to the eggs and searched the refrigerator for butter to put in the pan. She heard her phone chirp and went to see who had texted her. It was Rachel.

Since you didn’t come backlast night, I assume that everything went well?

More than well, you have no idea.

I think I have an idea! I’m on my way to Montreal. I should be back by late afternoon tomorrow. I think it’s better we stay another day. I don’t want to get caught on the highway at night.

Ava was morethan happy to stay another full day. It would be a full day in Xander’s bed.

I haveno problem with that. I’ll call work and let them know I will be out until Thursday. Drive carefully and text me when you get there so I know you’re safe.

Will do. Have fun!!

Xander cameout of the bathroom just as she put her phone down. He was wrapped in a towel, looking sexy. She could get used to his long hair if he wanted to keep it. As long as he kept the beard to a minimum she was fine with the change.

“We are leaving Wednesday. Rachel said she wouldn't be back until late afternoon tomorrow.”

She watched as a smile bloomed on his face.

“You don’t know how happy that makes me.” He grabbed her around the waist, and she tugged at the knot in his towel.

“Careful, baby. That’s how trouble starts.”

She could already feel that trouble had started. She managed to get the towel off him and it fell to the floor as he scooped her up in his arms. He took her to his bed and breakfast was long forgotten.

As they lay in bed with their legs tangled around each other later that morning, they talked about the future. Xander had a plan for coming back to Manhattan and resuming his life with her. She promised to give him the time he needed to get his affairs straight in Saratoga. She said she would visit him each weekend so they could be together, though she didn’t know that forces were already working against them to prevent that from happening.
