Code Breaker

17

   I am sitting alone in the den when Bethany comes down stairs and straight for the kitchen. She seems to be in a hurry. I follow thinking that she is sleep walking like the last two times that she has gotten up.

   It is now four o'clock and Decker has gone to get Bethany's family from the airport. Granger has gone to get some groceries. Everyone has called to check on nerd. Except for Thermo.

  Bethany stops in front of the fridge and gets her juice out. She starts drinking straight from the bottle. After she has drank about a quart of the juice, she lowers the bottle and looks at me. Her eyes are open.

   "Hi honey! When did you get home?" She sets the bottle back into the fridge and walks to me.

  "I got home this morning." I lower my lips to her's. I took my first kiss since Wednesday morning. I set her on the bar stool and continue kissing her. Showing my woman how much I have truly missed her.

  We broke apart for some needed o2. "Welcome home! I assume that you guys didn't have any problems."

  "Not a one! So! You wanna tell me what went on with Thermo?"

   "Nothing that I know of. He brought me some nasty ass mickey-d's for lunch Wednesday. I ate it without thinking about it while I worked. He didn't come back so I kept working. I did finish the tap. Didn't I?"

  "You did. It works like a charm. Sanders and Marquez are impressed." She smiles and kisses me again. "Sanders wants you in his office Wednesday. You are to take Monday and Tuesday off. Thermo will be dealt with."

  "I love you, Tanner Cline!"

   "I love you too, Bethany Adamson!" I gave her my lips again. Bethany wraps her legs around me and brings me closer. I squeeze her ass with one hand as my other hand tangles in her hair.

  My Bethany has her hands inside my shirt and rubbing my chest.

  "Tanner, take me to bed."

   "I would love to. But we can't! But God I want to!"

  "Nobody is here!" She whines. Causing me to laugh. Beth pinches my nipples. Causing me to moan. Beth laughs.

  "I wouldn't say that we are nobody!" We hear Braden or Jaden, say from behind me. My money would be on Braden. He's the immature one.

  Bethany gasped and looked around me. "Mom! Dad! Jaden! Braden! You're all here!" She stood and went for the hugs and kisses.

  "Of course we are! We had to come to take care of you." Brian told his daughter as he got another hug. "I've missed you baby!"

  "I've missed you too, daddy! But you don't have to use the excuse of taking care of me. You are welcome any time! Welcome to Washington!"

  "Groceries are here!" We turned to look at Granger.

   "Thank you, Granger! I'm starving!" Bethany told him as he sets the bags down.

  "Well eat all you want! I made Thermo pay for it." Bethany, Decker, and I laughed at that. We sat and ate the pizza on the deck. Afterwards, Decker and I washed the dishes. "Well I'm headed out. Good to see you walking with your eyes open, nerd. I'll see you next week." He hugged Bethany as she hit his shoulder. "Great seeing you all again."

  He shook everyone's hand. "Especially without an injury. Right Beth?"

  "Shut up, Braden!" She replied instantly." Everyone laughed.

    I love this relaxed atmosphere! I get to share it with my woman and friends. My phone rings. "This is Chris. I'll take it over there."

  "Tell him hello for me." Bethany tells me.
