Page 49 of His Good Girl

Me:

Yep, along with some photos of her ingrown toenail.

Alexis:

Aww poor baby.

Me:

Wow the genuine sympathy is overwhelming, baby.

Alexis:

It’s what I’m here for. So what are you doing now?

Me:

Hanging out in the hotel watching some TV, just finished reviewing the files for tomorrow. Now I’m crashing on the bed already feeling sore. Some drill sergeant kicked my ass today.

Alexis:

Sounds like you need to go to more of those classes to whip your ass into shape.

Me:

Wow. Glad I’m getting sympathy from my girlfriend.

Right after hitting send, I realize what I typed. That’s the first time either of us has used that term. I wonder if she will say anything. I find myself watching the text bubbles in anticipation.

Alexis:

Too bad my boyfriend had to leave town, otherwise I’d kiss his sore muscles and make it all better.

My cock twitches at that idea, wishing like hell she was here in this big bed with me. I also can’t help noticing that she said boyfriend. Why does that make me so damn happy? It feels slightly immature, but I can’t deny it feels good anyway.

Before I can respond, another text comes through.

Alexis:

Has it really only been a few hours since you left? It feels like forever and I already miss you.

Grinning ear to ear, I settle back against the headboard.

Me:

I was just thinking the same thing. This big bed feels empty and I wish you were here with me.

Alexis:

That makes two of us. Never thought I’d be that girl. The one that can’t stand to spend a few days away from her guy, yet here we are.

It’s a good thing I’m alone right now, cause the dopey smile on my face would totally give me away. I have fallen so hard for Alexis, and there is no way I could hide it. The fact that she is being so honest and sharing her feelings with me makes my heart swell. Things are so good between us, and I have never been so happy. This trip can’t end fast enough.

Me:

I’ve always enjoyed traveling, seeing new places, and meeting new people. But this time, it doesn’t hold the same appeal.

Alexis:
