“Don’t ever disappear on me again.” I bury my face in the crevice of his neck and shoulder.
“I could never, not with you by my side beautiful girl.” I see my clock out of the corner of my eye and curse.
“Shit! Dex we are going to be later.” He turns toward the clock and puts me down and scrambles with me to try to find all our clothes. He is smiling and raises my pair of panties in the air.
“I believe these are yours.” I take them and then stuff them in his pants pocket.
“Take them, so you don’t forget about me this weekend.”
I wink as I make my way to the living room where my bra is. He grabs me and spins me into his arms and kisses me.
“I could never forget you, even if I tried.”I love you, Dexter.
I don’t actually say the latter because I don’t think we are at that point in our relationship yet. I don’t want to tell him I love him until I know he feels the same towards me too. We finish getting dressed and head to the airport.
Chapter Twenty-Three
Iget this warm feeling when the uber pulls into Isabelle’s driveway. I felt more at home when I was living here than I did at my own home. I let myself inside and make my way to the basement before texting Izzy and Ilene that I made it back. We leave tonight for our weekend of girl’s fun and maybe some male strippers. Ilene kept hinting around about it but never confirmed it, but I wouldn’t put it past her. We decided to take Isabelle on a wine tasting tour tomorrow and then we are going to stay at the casino. The club in the casino is stellar and of course we are going to have to go all out for that.
“Did you land alright beautiful?” I smile down at my phone and then get interrupted by Izzy’s voice. I look up and try to hide my phone, but she isn’t here.
“Izzy?”
“I’m talking through the Alexa, just wanted to make sure you got in okay. I got the notification that someone opened the door, I figured it was you.” I laugh.
“I thought I was going crazy for a second.”
I hear her laugh and my heart fills with anticipation, I can’t wait to see her later. It’s only been a month and half, but it seems like decades.
“Well Jeremy should be home around three and I’ll be back at six. Make yourself at home like always, and Al…I love you and can’t wait to see you later!”
“I can’t wait to see you to Izzy, love you”
Its ten in the morning so I have plenty of time before either of them is home. I did promise to go see my mother. I text Dexter back before ordering an uber.
“Landed okay, heading to my parents now. Wish you were here!” I probably shouldn’t have said the latter because he would totally get on a plane right now to come be with me in New York.
“Look in the back pocket of your suitcase.”
I smile down at his message and hurry to look inside before my uber arrives. I pull out a picture of the both of us on my couch. I remember taking this one, it was one of the nights he read to me, and I was cuddled in between his legs. I didn’t like the picture because I was laughing, and I thought I looked ridiculous. Dexter said it was his favorite picture of me because he loved my laugh. I turn the picture around and there’s a note on the back.
So, you don’t forget about me this weekend.
-Dex
I hear my uber pull up and I tuck the picture into my purse before getting into the car. I pull my phone out and text Dex back.
“I could never forget you; I never forgot you for seven years. I won’t start now!”
“Good, now go enjoy your time with your family and friends. I’ll be patiently waiting for you to come back to me.” I smile down at my phone and go to put it into my bag when it vibrates again.
“Well not patiently, but you get the message <3”
I laugh and then realize the heart at the end of the message. My heart is freaking out and sending signals to my brain that Dex is giving me hints that he may in fact love me to.That’s crazy, it’s just a heart emoji.That could mean so much, I send them all the time to Izzy and Ilene. I try to not over analyze it and to bring myself to the present to prepare for seeing my parents.
Hopefully with the way my mother has been, it will lighten the mood when I step through the front door. Usually, I’m nervous when I’m back to my childhood house, but surprisingly I feel excited. I want to see my mother and tell her everything about Baltimore and school andDexter.I file the last subject because can’t talk about him, not yet at least. At first it was fun sneaking around but now it is becoming restless because I want to be able to talk to my friends about him.
They ask me all the time if he is still my date to the wedding and when I confirm they ask for the juicy details. Except there are no juicy details, well, I guess there are some now that we have slept together. My face turns red at the thought of my goodbye sex this morning, I can still feel tingles every time I touch the spots he kissed on my neck. I take a few deep breaths to try to calm my horny brain down and knock on the door before walking inside. Nobody comes running to the door, so I go around asking if someone is home.
